money money

What an annoying necessity. I wish we didn't have to rely on it. As our anniversary looms we are learning (and struggling) to trust God for what we want and need. If only there was some way of winning lotto without all the hassle of having to spend money on a ticket and then not winning.

I guess having God is like having a lotto ticket that has the winning numbers and can be given to anyone without the amount being split between winners. Who would keep something like that to themselves?? I feel like that someone would be me right now.
I got told that God would provide me with a job at "just the right time". Yeah God... some indication of dates would be nice. Why is it so hard to trust someone whom you know to be perfect?
If someone came to me and said "I will give you a million dollars on friday at 12:32pm" and another guy said "I will provide for you for the rest of your life but you may not notice all the ways and it wont necessarily be money" I would probably choose the million dollars. I'm not sure if that makes me a bad christian for thinking of God as an ATM...

Psalm 23

A psalm of David. ¹ The LORD is my shepherd, I lack nothing.

 ² He makes me lie down in green pastures,

he leads me beside quiet waters,

 ³ he refreshes my soul.

He guides me along the right paths

   for his name’s sake.

⁴ Even though I walk

   through the darkest valley,

I will fear no evil,

   for you are with me;

your rod and your staff,

   they comfort me.

 ⁵ You prepare a table before me

   in the presence of my enemies.

You anoint my head with oil;

   my cup overflows.

⁶ Surely your goodness and love will follow me

   all the days of my life,

and I will dwell in the house of the LORD

   forever.
