For a moment I laid my head back on the sofa to ease the thudding pain in my temples. Beside me laid bills that I checked off that came through. Next mission, making a store list. I would love to have a fresh apple, I thought, my favorite fruit. My friend planned on stopping to have coffee with me and as always talk about God.

“I will supply your every need. I will not have the righteous begging.” God used ravens to feed Elijiah in the book of 1 Kings 17:2-16. The Lord reminded me that His eyes are even on the sparrow. He makes provisions for them. Doesn’t that shout, “GOD DOES SEE EVERY NEED?” Nothings to small nor great, He will do it!

Not too long after that a silver car pulled up in the driveway in front of my apartment. It was someone I hadn’t seen for quite a while or talked to.

“Could you use some cheese? ” She asked bending partway in her vehicle pulling out boxes. “What about plums?” I didn’t know what to say. God just assured me that He would supply my every need. She sat the box inside my foyer, went back not having one beautiful large yellow apple but seven, along with a bundle of fresh plums! Tears poured down my face. “God all I wanted was just one but You gave me six more.” Honestly, I didn’t even ask, He heard my thoughts.

In the month of August coming home from a trip. I explained to Tigger how I needed to go to the store, I didn’t feel like going inside. God took care of that too. God put it on someone’s heart to give me groceries. Let me just say, my foyer floor was hidden by bags and boxes of groceries.

I am writing this to encourage you to believe God for things. He isn’t bound by inflation. He’s God! He created the world, planets, us and angels. Isn’t He wonderful?

“God I only wanted one apple, but you gave me many.” My heart was so touched that God cared that much. (Matthew 6:25-34)

… “for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.” Matthew 6:8 KJV

^“ I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.” Psalm 37:25 KJV
