A few
years after we got married, Cindy told me what she was thinking on our wedding
day as she walked down the aisle, I hope
he will take care of me! In 1977, I had a part-time janitor’s job making $3 an hour while I attended seminary. What could be better financial security
than that?
I had preached
four sermons in my life by the time I had graduated from seminary. You’d think that
hundreds of churches would come knocking at my door begging me to be their
pastor. But not even a single church called. What could be better financial
security than that?
After graduating,
we loaded up a U-Haul truck and moved to Garden City, Kansas to plant a church.
We had only been there one time, had no job, only a few dollars saved, and no
place to stay. What could be better financial security than that?
But we did trust God to provide for us. We never missed a meal, paid
our bills on time, and constructed a church building debt-free. It was
like when Jesus sent out His disciples to preach and said,
“Take nothing for your trip, neither a walking stick, bag, bread, money, or
extra clothes” (Luke 9:3).
Later He asked them to recall when He sent them out
empty-handed: “‘When I sent you out without money belt and bag and
sandals, you did not lack anything, did you?’ They said, ‘No,
nothing’” (Luke 22:35). God provided everything they needed.
He promised to provide for those who trust
Him. What could be better financial security than that? www.kentcrockett.blogspot.com www.makinglifecount.net
