Lesson
4 For the word of the Lord is right and true;
he is faithful in all he does.
5 The Lord loves righteousness and justice;
the earth is full of his unfailing love. Psalm 33:4-5
God teaches us lessons every single day and some of these lessons are learned over a long period of time. Exactly two weeks ago our car was stolen from our driveway, and the insurance company said that after 14 days the car would be considered totaled. As each day passed and there was no word from the police, I had come to the conclusion that our car was stripped and sold for parts or was being driven somewhere a far distance away. Just hours before we entered the 14th day the car was gone, Debbie received a call from an unknown caller. It was the police telling us they had found our car. The address they gave us was a park just 20 minutes from our house, and happened to be the home for Southside Little League where Gaven played in his District 7 tournament four years ago. The lesson of patience and God's faithfulness is evident, but what else we will learn is yet to be seen. I know that God is showing me something that will help me grow closer to Him, but sometimes I wish I could grow closer to Him without these trials. Praise God from whom all blessings flow.
Have a great weekend.
Matt
