So Good To Me

Delight yourself in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him, and he will act. Psalms 37:4 ESV
When the man tossed the cable on the desk, I started laughing. I could hardly believe it. I have always been drawn to technical things like a moth to a bug light and I like tinkering with them. I wanted to hook a computer up to my television and needed an DVI to HDMI cable. They are common today, but in 2004 they were nearly unheard of. I searched the Internet and found one for about forty dollars, but something told me to wait so I did not buy it.
We owned a small computer business and our first client of the day was an insurance company. We walked into the office and while discussing the issues that they were having, the man reached into a desk drawer and tossed an unopened DVI to HDMI cable on the desk. He said 'I don't know why I bought this, but I certainly do not need it. Maybe you can use it for something?' I started laughing. 'God is so good to me', I thought.
Some would say that is not scriptural and HDMI is not in the Bible, but it does not matter. The scripture says that He will give you the desires of your heart. Like the blind man said, 'I don't know how it happened. I was blind, but now I see', I needed a cable and did not have one, but now I do. Delight yourself in the Lord, put Him first in your life and He will take care of you. God cares about the little things, not just the big decisions and He wants to be intimately involved in your daily life. All that I know is this: He is so good to me.
Prayer: Father, draw my heart to You like never before. Give me the grace to live a life pleasing to You and walk with me each day, in the name of Jesus.

Dear Father in Heaven, You know who I'm and know my desires. Enlighten me to understand that Your will be done not on my time but on Yours,in Jesus name I pray. Amen.
Thank you Pastor for this devotional.
Love this! Reminds me of a time when we had just moved & money was tight...we had a young kitten & had forgot to get kitty litter at the store. We were almost home, and I said "oh shoot we need litter". We approached a stop sign and I looked out at a pile of stuff on someone's curb. Right there was an almost full box of cat litter! Another one of those instances where I just KNEW it was a "GOD-THING"!! A small thing but He knew!
Love this, Kim! For me, I think it's the little things I love the most - that He cares about every detail of our life!
GOD is good to me, too! Thank you for this wonderful and powerful word and testimony.
Amen!
Heavenly Father sometimes I forget how good you are. I made the problems in myself take first place in my life. Instead of you. Abba Father please forgive me for not looking to you for all my needs. Please I am asking for prayer because I am going through a very hard time with a job that I just started a month ago. I should have been happy on this job but I just feel overwhelmed, down and sad. Also I am a year away from graduating college and I just feel like everything that I work so hard for in school is up in the here. I am a single mom trying to finish school so that I can get a better paying job so that I don’t have to try work two jobs to make ends meet. I just think it the Devil working against me by using people. Thank you pastor Dion for this encouraging devotion. This devotion was what I needed to hear please keep me in your prayer I know that I am going to get through what I am going through. It too shall pass. With man things are impossible but with God all things are possible.
Many blessings to you in the midst of each part you mentioned!
THAT IS SO TRUE, HE HAS HELPED ME AT TIMES, I DON'T THINK ABOUT ASKING FOR HELP. IN 1999, MY HUSBAND AND I ALONG WITH DANIEL, WERE IN A BAD CAR RECK. A CAR HIT US FROM BEHIND, MY HUSBAND DID NOT GET HURT, OUR SON DIDN'T GET HURT, BUT I GOT SENT TO THE HOSPITAL.
I HAD 4 BROKEN RIBS ON MY RIGHT SIDE, 3 FRACTURED ON MY LEFT, MY RIGHT ARM WAS BROKE.I COULDN'T MOVE MY HEAD, AND EVERY TIME I TOOK A BREATH,I SCREEMED. TO MAKE A LONG STORY SHORT, IWAS IN THE HOSPITAL FOR 2 OR 3 MONTHS, BUT GOD TALKED TO LORRIN, HE TOLD HIM , IT MAY TAKE 2 OR 3 YEARS BUT SHE WILL BE HEALED.I AM STILL ALIVE. PRAISE THE LORD
That is so wonderful, Sandra, both for healing you and for speaking to Lorrin! Praise God!
Wow... that's a lot! I pray you received good care!
Amen. Praise God! Thanks Pastor Todd! Father, draw my heart to You like never before. Give me the grace to live a life pleasing to You and walk with me each day, in the Name of Jesus. Amen.

Yes, He is so good to us! He loves us so much and the more we seek Him and delight in Him, the more He blesses us in ways we never thought possible! Thank you Pastor Dion! You are so blessed and anointed!
