GOD cares about my BUTTONS! (Kristy Stidahm)
I’ve been making these leg warmers as a craft lately. Although I have tons of buttons that Iv’e acquired over the years none of them were big enough for this project. I was having to mix and match which some times took longer than the making of the original project.
I needed toggle buttons which are big and are expensive. Two would have been about $8.oo and I need 6 to complete the project. I didn’t want to spend that much money on a craft just for fun. So I started to pray asking GOD for some great buttons that I could afford. I was very specific about the kind.
Some people I talk to think that some of the things I pray for are frivolous and I am wasting GODS time. They say he only cares about the big things. I think this kind of thinking is whats wrong.
There are multiple scriptures in the bible telling us to ask for what we need and GOD will provide. Philippians 4:19 “My GOD shall supply all your needs according to His riches in glory by Christ JESUS”. I believe this to be a true statement. I have tried GOD in this area many times. Sometimes I have to seek it out and wait for him to provide. Sometimes he tells me no.
As our FATHER, and Creator of All Things, he can do and tell us anything he wants. The Father aspect wants to give his children (us) the things we ask for. I believe we have to following him and doing good. HE alone determines what is good for us and what is bad.
Matthew 7:11 ” If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children how much more will your FATHER who is in heaven give good gifts to those who ask Him!
That my friend is GOD talking. He wants a personal intimate relationship with you and me. He wants you to seek him out for ALL your needs no matter how small. He is your FATHER. He takes such delight in you. Try and see. Test him! I takes faith but you only need the size of a mustard seed to get it all started.
I’ll finish writing about what I started. I did find my buttons. I started looking anytime I went places. I went one day to Joann Fabrics and started looking in the clearance section. In all the years I have been shopping there, I personally have never found buttons in this section. On this day my prayer for buttons was answered. I didn’t just get toggle buttons, HE gave me all kinds of buttons. I got exceedingly above all I could ever ask or imagine. That’s the kind of FATHER He is.
I have tried God in everything. I ask for things all the time, not just for myself but for others too, praising Him and thanking Him before it ever happens This kind of faith takes time and trust. I have not arrived in any sense of the word but I’m farther along in faith than I was yesterday.
Try GOD. Ask! What harm can it do? If it doesn’t work out your gonna be no better off than when you started. I know my FATHER and HE will not disappoint.
