Shortly before coming to Peru I wondered if I would even be able to go due to finances. But… God pulled a miracle on me and provided the money for me to go.
I actually spoke about this in Iquitos during our first few days here. I spoke about the sparrow. How not one of them will fall without God knowing. If he takes care of sparrows, how much more will he take care of us?
I want to direct your attention to another time when God provided: five loaves and two fish multiplied and fed thousands. And there were a lot of leftovers!
This happened with our team, except with chicken and rice and it fed 70 instead of 20.
We were on our way to a youth retreat with 40-50 Peruvian youth with us. Most of them hadn´t eaten lunch and neither had we. So we decided that we would share our food with them. Some of us didn´t think that we had enough food for everyone to eat, but we started to serve the food anyway. As we dished out the food it didn´t seem to be diminishing any. Finally everyone was fed and satisfied…. And we had some leftovers!
Most of didn´t realize it until Brentastic pointed it out to us during team time a few days later. I know I sure didn´t realize it, but our God is an awesome God!
So… To sum up this short blog: even when circumstances look bleak and we don´t think there is a way out, God will always provide for us. He loves us more than anything. He is a loving father, and what father wouldn´t provide for their children?
