But who am I and who are my people that we should be able to offer as generously as this? For all things come from You, and from Your hand we have given You. I Chronicles 29:14
Last week at church we talked about one of the names of God: Jehovah Jireh. I learned the meaning in a song when I was younger “Jehovah Jireh, my provider.” Our children all three play the piano. We have a nice keyboard, but when my senior discussed her piano skills with the dean of the music department (in his office with two grand pianos) he recommended that she play more on either a real piano or one with weighted keys. The one she plays on when she goes to piano lessons is nice; her piano teacher suggested we look for a used one. We looked in a nearby piano store, and they recommended one more than four times as much as the new (also out of our budget) one we saw online. This week, God provided just what our girl wanted in a price that fit our budget! He knows our desires and constantly amazes me with how He provides! The kids have all three been playing even more, and I love the joyful music filling our house. There is no comparison between our situation and Abraham being provided with a sacrifice in God’s perfect timing. But there is thankfulness in yet another gift from His hand.

How wonderful is the provision of God! Have a blessed Sunday!
ReplyDeleteThat is great! I have experienced God's providing over the past several months and it has helped me draw closer to Him.
ReplyDeleteGod is so faithful in His care for us!
ReplyDeleteI love this story. It's so fun (and such a blessing) to see how God provides for us!
ReplyDeleteOh how wonderful to be able to play the piano. Sometimes, I've almost forgotten what is desired when God provides and actually may take me a day or two to realize and say thank you. His timing is amazing. :)

So great you were able to get a piano for your family! Hope you have a fantastic week. Thank you for hosting the link up.
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful. We had a piano while I was growing up. I wish I could still play.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing such an amazing testimony - He is faithful and worthy to be praised!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing about God providing that piano! Such a great reminder that He is our provider and will give us those things we need that fit into His plans. I would be interested to see what your kids do with their music skills down the road!
ReplyDeleteHow good is God to give you just what you need! He truly is the Great Provider!
