The ways in which God provides never ceases to amaze me. There are many that He uses to faithfully supply financial help every month. It reminds me of how God faithfully supplied the needs of the children of Israel in the wilderness day after day and year after year. How I thank God for His constant provision.
There are also the times when unexpected gifts arrive to provide extra or special help. That unanticipated gift is often the source of answered prayer for a specific need. Missionaries and our home office face expenses that are above our regular income and can never be planned for. I am reminded that God knows those situations and can work in wonderful ways through special gifts.
Peter reminds us in I Peter 5:7, (and we all need reminders!) that He "careth" for us. The word "careth" means to have interest in or to be concerned for. It is the same word that is used to describe the hireling in John 10:12 where it tells us that the hireling does not care. God, however, does care and it is evident in so many wonderful ways!
