I felt like He was dancing around me doing the "I Told You So Dance."
Last night I was freaking out about money. Go figure! I knew I had less money than what I needed to register my car, and then I was borrowing Dad's truck and the gas light came on. "Oh LOVELY, I thought!" And I recall me screaming Nooooooo! Part of me wanted to avoid the gas light, then part of me only wanted to put $5 in the tank. But that gut wrenching feeling inside me said....Crystal, put $20 in. I didn't want to. I wrestled with God for the whole ride to the gas station. (Since I drove straight to the gas station, you can guess who won that battle?!) I even came to tears because I was afraid of the lack of money that I have, and that my pay check wasn't going to cover my car registration OR fill my own tank for 2 weeks. UGH! Ever wrestled with God? I dare say...He knows best. So with tears in my eyes I put $20 of gas in Dad's truck. I felt like God was saying, "Crystal, it's going to be ok, let me handle it, don't you trust me more than money?"
Today I got my paycheck which was almost twice as much as I thought it was going to be, I had plenty of money to register my car and enough money to put gas in my car as well. Is God good? Absolutely! Did He do the "I Told You So dance?" More than likely!
"Give your entire attention to what God is doing right now, and don't get worked up about what may or may not happen tomorrow. God will help you deal with whatever hard things come up when the time comes." Matt 6:34 The Msg.
