Reading – Psalms 52-55

Highlight Verse:

“Please listen and answer me, for I am overwhelmed by my troubles.”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭55‬:‭2‬ ‭NLT‬‬

When I moved to Colorado, I was nearly broke.

I had all my worldly goods packed in and on an old minivan.

About 10pm on that first travel day, 10 miles from the nearest exit on the Pennsylvania Turnpike, in nearly freezing rain, the van threw a rod.

The engine was toast.

When I finally got towed off the Turnpike and got myself safely into a motel, I had a little talk with God.

All I could say was,

“I’ve got nothing God,

this is all up to you. Please provide a way to complete my move so I can be near my kiddo.”

I was overwhelmed.

Granted, I wasn’t being chased by enemies, but it felt like it.

And God provided.

• He provided a mechanic.

• He provided an engine.

• He provided a much needed 4 day rest.

• He provided a generous relative.

• He provided a patient new employer.

• And He provided a patient new landlord.

He’s been providing ever since.

If you’ve heard this story before, I apologize but I felt like someone needed the encouragement today.

Have you been in impossible situations before?
How did God bring you through?
