Glory be to the living God !! Yesterday my landlord informed me that he wanted us out ASAP. Understand, our landlord is a good man, he just can no longer carry us. Since I've not had a steady job in 8 months we've always been behind in rent. He has never charged us a late fee and always tried to work with us. I could tell when he called he was at the end of his financial rope as well. I could feel this coming, so over the last few weeks we had been praying for a miracle from God to somehow meet our needs in this area. With each passing day nothing changed. I knew that if there was not some kind of divine intervention that we were going to be living in the street.
After my conversation with our landlord I will be totally honest here, I truly felt totally abounded by God. I thought to myself, "this is great! Where are you God? You're WORD promises to take care of us... well?" After about an hour of feeling sorry for myself I settled down. I knew somehow God would take care of us.
About 2 hours later my landlord called back. He informed me that if we could come up with something that he would work with us still. Prior to this our landlord only took full payments for rent, now he was will to take partial payments. There is no other explanation, God touched our landlords heart.
Thank you God !!! You have never failed us, even in our darkest hours YOU have always been there. I want to thank you and praise your HOLY NAME for protection and blessings in my life.
Psalm 30
1 I will exalt you, O LORD,
for you lifted me out of the depths
and did not let my enemies gloat over me.
2 O LORD my God, I called to you for help
and you healed me.
3 O LORD, you brought me up from the grave;
you spared me from going down into the pit.
4 Sing to the LORD, you saints of his;
praise his holy name.
5 For his anger lasts only a moment,
but his favor lasts a lifetime;
weeping may remain for a night,
but rejoicing comes in the morning.
6 When I felt secure, I said,
"I will never be shaken."
7 O LORD, when you favored me,
you made my mountain stand firm;
but when you hid your face,
I was dismayed.
8 To you, O LORD, I called;
to the Lord I cried for mercy:
9 "What gain is there in my destruction,
in my going down into the pit?
Will the dust praise you?
Will it proclaim your faithfulness?
10 Hear, O LORD, and be merciful to me;
O LORD, be my help."
11 You turned my wailing into dancing;
you removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy,
12 that my heart may sing to you and not be silent.
O LORD my God, I will give you thanks forever.
May God bless and keep you always,
Tim
