Beans & Franks

Today is National Beans 'N' Franks Day. One of the first foods ever put in a can for convenience was baked beans. Then, someone with an epiphany decided, "Hey, I think I'll put my hotdog in my beans." And, the rest, as they say, is history.

It is amazing what we will do to try to please our palate. We will put sauce on things. We will season things, We will try various things to try to make things more appetizing. The thing I remember, though, is that whatever I have is from GOD. I have NEVER not had anything to eat. Maybe I didn't have what I wanted, or maybe I didn't really like what we were having, but there has always been something to eat. Why? Because GOD has provided.

That is my thought today; how GOD always gives me exactly what I need, exactly when I need it. Today's word is a quote from Elisabeth Elliot, which says, "GOD has promised to provide all our needs. What we don't have now, we don't NEED now."

I think I need to remember that more often. I have a tendency to want to get from point A to point B as quickly as possible. I have a tendency to want to get things done: the house paid for, the vehicles paid for, the kids' college paid for, retire, etc. Yet, everything I NEED TODAY has been provided. When we get to the point that we need those other things, they will be provided also.

Yes, GOD has promised to provide all our needs. If you don't have it, you don't NEED it. I really need to remember that.

Gonna be on vacation for the next few days.

Be Blessed,
