As plain as anything could ever be.
Truth is standing right in front of you.
Standing there for all eternity.
The Way, the Truth, the Life, the Victory.
I read where J.C. Ryle said "We must read our Bibles like men digging for hidden treasure." And according to the Bible, it says in James 1:7 "Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.” More from my path...actually more from the studio and what’s Beyond the Canvas”... A need for paint took me to the store. And there standing in front of me was a clearance cabinet and just like Goldy Locks, it was the right style, the right size and the price was just right too. Nice and thank you Jesus! Wait though there is no door. And with that the the Holy Spirit led me to the wall decor section and right there, like manna from heaven, also on clearance, is a wall hanging that just so happens to be a great fit as the cabinet's door. And the hinges are already on it. Lets take it home Lord! It took a little redesign but then who doesn't? :) And there you go, a Magnolia worthy project.
Well now how did that come about? It’s actually quite simple. According to (and proven true many times over by this humble human I might add) Luke 6:38 “Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you."
So here's the deal...the more you give, the more you get. Gift away one large beautiful vintage china hutch to a most beloved and God-chosen person and give the need for a smaller one for ones earthly treasures to God. Tuck the prayer into your heart and leave the details to Him as well.
And there you go. Answered prayer in no time at all. Did I fuss at Him about it? Nope. Not this time. Did I rail at Him about it? Nope and the thought makes me flinch and want to put on a tin foil hat. What I did do, is that I learned to just give it over to Him and move on about my business. God is faithful and He cares about every single part of your life. So relax. He's got this.
