I have a dear friend in another country that I’ve stayed in touch with over the years. We have laughed together, prayed together and shared about our financial needs. Economically our lives are much different but our basic needs are very much the same. I want to share a portion of a conversation that we had recently.

How are you doing? Are your needs being met?”

“We are able to get food but it’s slower getting other needs. But that’s okay, our life is when we see children come to God and we our happy for it. Sometimes when we go out to visit the parents, they serve us food so we can save our food money for the next meal. I think that is how God is helping us to continue in ministry.

What a wonderful testimony to God’s faithfulness. You are walking proof that God provides our needs when we honor Him in our lives and in our speech. You are continually giving Him praise through your life and your deeds.

People come to me and solicit for donations but I honestly told them. I am sorry I cannot give you anything but they don’t believe me.

God will and is rewarding your faithfulness.

Yes, that is why I am continuing the fight because the prize has not yet come.

I am encouraged by your testimony of faith.

I am glad you are encouraged. Although we have different situations, surely God is faithful to us all the time.

If you find yourself in a difficult situation that is causing you to worry, remember you are not alone. As long as you remain faithful to what God is calling you to do, God  promises to be faithful in providing your needs.

Phil. 4:19 And my God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus.
