God Spoke To Me In Walmart

Faith the size of one mustard seed is enough

     I am worried about money.  I try not to think about it, but when I do, well, I can become quite distraught.  Today I went to Walmart in this anxious frame of mind.
     I got a few things.  Yogurt, fruit and the like. Oh and a few birthday cards.  It's close to payday and I just wanted to use the cash I had in my purse.  The cashier rang up my items.  The total? $66.59.  I looked in my purse and counted out my bills and change.  I had $66.59 exactly.  That's when I  "heard" a message just for me:   My worry is not productive.  "Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?" (Matthew 6:27)  Over the last year, I have tried tell God how my life should be and what I need.  Here's a shocker:  He already knows.
      What does God need from me?  God needs me to be a good steward of the talent and treasure he has given me.  He would like to see me walk on faith.  It does not even have to be a steady or lovely walk.  When it comes to faith walking,  I am hoping there are merit points for starting at all.  God knows that I have gotten off the path, sat down on the path, asked for a new path and had unsightly fits on the path.  Yet, if what we read about the Almighty is true, "He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins...." (1 John:9)
       So I am counting on Psalm 40:  "I waited patiently for the Lord; he turned to me and heard my cry.  He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire; he set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand."  So I am going to stand on the rock and clutch my mustard seed of faith.  I believe that's just enough.  Join me?
