He Always Provides- Should I Have Doubted?
Our recent car repair bill had me a little down. Though I know in my mind that God will provide for our needs, it can still be difficult to believe. The $700 dollars was money that should have come from our emergency fund but because we didn’t have an emergency fund it had to come out of our normal paycheck.
My husband and I firmly believe that borrowing money is not an option anymore. We went down that road many times and has only made things worse. So no credits cards and no borrowing from family or friends. So where does this leave us? Trusting that God will provide for our needs.
As I was driving home the other day I was thinking about how I was not honoring God by not trusting him. My doubt is preventing me from the peace of mind that God could have provided if I had been truly trusting in Him.
Most of our weekly paycheck went to this car repair bill and I was worrying about how we were going to buy groceries and gasoline for the week. My conversation with myself while driving the car ride home came to the conculsion that I really needed to give all my worries about our finances to God.
It’s no surprise to most that His timing is always perfect. A check came in the mail for $122 through an affiliate marketing company I am associated with. I had almost forgotten about the affiliate company because I had been under the payout rate for something like 8 months. It seemed it would never reach the $25 I needed to get a check. However the $122 money was just what we needed to get through the week.
This may not seem like an amazing story and many would consider it just a coincidence. But I believe that God knew my heart needed to be submissive and my trust needed to be real. The timing was perfect because He is actively working in my life to better my life by trusting Him, the one who knows it all and loves me more than I can imagine.
The check I recieved was enough to buy the groceries and pay for the gas but we are still left with wondering how we will pay our mortgage payment this month. I now have a peace in my heart and mind that God will provide for our needs. I feel ashamed that I doubted He would.

You are exactly right, and I’m glad for the reminder. God has always supplied my needs and been ever-faithful to do so. I’ve had instances like you mentioned, where the money came out of seemingly nowhere to pay for a repair or a bill of some kind.
