• George and Will had been best friends since they were in grade school. Unfortunately, Will was having a difficult time financially. So, he went to Will and said, "I'm having a difficult time with my finances. Can you help me out with a loan until I get back on my feet?"
• "Sorry, Will, I just can't do that," said George.
• "We have been best friends forever," said Will. "How can you do this to me? We grew up together, studied for our exams together, and went camping together. And I even rescued you when you were about to drown. Why, George?"
• "I remember all those fun times together, Will. They were good times and I think of them often. But here's the question: What have you done for me lately?" said George.
• Often we ask God the same question: "What have you done for me lately? I know that You love me because You sent Your Son to be my Savior. And I know You have answered my prayers in the past. But where are You now when I really need You? Have You given up on me?"
• The Psalmist in his wisdom said, "He covers the sky with clouds; He supplies the earth with rain and makes the grass grow on the hills." He always does what He said He will do: in His time and on His terms. But He does it!
• The beloved spiritual reminds us that "He's got the whole world in His hands," and continues, "He's got you and me, brother, in His hands."
• Our God is a powerful God and a personal God. He cares for us and will never abandon us. When we don't get what we need when we want it, trust Him. It's coming.
• Prayer: Father, there's no doubt that You love us and will meet our every need. Please add patience to our trust. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
• Scripture for Today: Psalm 147:8 He covers the sky with clouds; he supplies the earth with rain and makes grass grow on the hills.
