Surprise Provision

During a period when my husband was between jobs, we struggled financially. I was homeschooling our children and had a part-time job, but our savings were running out. One day we received a cashier’s check in the mail with no remitter’s name. This surprise provision sustained us until an employment opportunity opened for my husband. Later, a different career path for my husband required contract work, which meant the position was assigned for a designated period. When the contract ended, we never knew what the next step would be. Sometimes he went for several weeks without work, and my mind told me our livelihood was threatened. Amid my worry and fretting, God reminded me of the time an unexpected supply arrived in the mail. The recollection reinforced the Lord’s faithfulness to us. He is never too late.
