I have started reading scripture and applying it to my life, as in what is that scripture saying to me?! Of course, scripture is God’s way of communicating with us, through His word.
There have been so many times in my life that I honestly didn’t know if it was God speaking to me, or if it was me wanting it so badly that I hoped against hope it was Him speaking. Take it to open yourself and you’ll find out the truth.. So, after listening to a Bible Study with Greg Laurie, I have decided to take his advice. Just this AM I had some unexpected bills go up because, well cable, water, power, etc. do go up from time to time, sometimes more often than not.. My cable bill went up 50.00 a month, that was a big jump. So, I called them, and of course, they told me this was the cheapest rate they had, take it or leave it, yes the man on the other end said you can take it or leave it would you like to disconnect??? Boy, the flesh in me wanted to say yep I sure do.. But, I knew I needed to discuss it with Mr. Shabby before doing anything. So, I got off the phone and did my morning verse, and there it was.
Habakkuk 3:17-18
17 Though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though there are no sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls, 18 yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will be joyful in God my Savior.
The Lord, saying, not all things yield, at all times, be thankful (joyful) in me. He will give us all our needs. What we have is enough. So, with the bills going up and our income not, we find new ways to get through. Did the Lord speak to me when I was worried about the cable bill as well as a couple others going up in this scripture, Indeed He did, and what He has and is given us is enough, I will PRAISE Him and be joyful in all that I do have. I hope that you are all having a wonderful Thursday. Sending out all my love to each one of you. I hope that you too in these troubled times are trying harder to apply God’s word to your daily lives each and every day.
Love,
Debbie

Every little bit helps! We only have one choice in Anniston, AL. Cablonek
Groceries, and ALOT of costs have escalated ~ however, the income hasn’t went up!
In comparison to so many though, we are so Blessed!
God is Good ~
Thanks for your inspiration Debbie. I must admit I haven’t read your blog much because I don’t think to read on my tablet. I’m working on changing that. God’s word and works come from many different paths. Thanks again for your persistence in continuing your blog. Blessings to you.

Oh, Marilyn, thank you! I wish I could still write, these days I just get started and my mind just blanks out.

Hi Debbie. I went through the bill crunch a few years ago, but looking back, I think God wanted to direct my priorities elsewhere.
First, I got rid of cable, and only got wifi. I was abl to watch Neflux, Ulu, and AmazonPrime on my smart tv thst way. Then, he brought my attention to so many shows on those pkatforms that I wouldn’t watch anywy, so I canceled them. Now, I have a roku, and theres a lot of channels with positive programming that is free. I slso signed ip gor Frndly tv…its only around 5 dollars a month. Maybe a few things like that will give you programming to watch without the heavy costs.
Great word for today and something I’ve been struggling with as i try to balance life and unexpected medical bills…and hopefully retirement looming ahead
Thanks
Amen, He does provide all things.
In a world where noise is loud, we need a place to quietly learn God’s Word so we can apply and share the Truth. Here’s your starting place.
Know the Truth. Live the Truth. It changes everything.
Are you familiar with the First 5 app ? Studying book of Hanukkah this week.
Amazing online bible study

Thank you for this message and examples. The amount that I owed for my surgery was more than I draw a month. I’m very careful how much money I spend because it doesn’t go far. God hasn’t ever let me down and has blessed me more than I deserve.
God bless you my sweet friend!! I love you ❤️
