God the provider.

Phil 4
"19And my God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus."

At college this week we have had to collect source materials for our induction activity. We need to have them by the time we start college this afternoon. The one key thing that I needed was a realistic looking bird feather. So on the first day I bought a pack of brightly coloured feathers meant for kid’s craft, but that wasn't realistic the colours were all wrong (at least I couldn't get into trouble for taking nothing as we were originally told we needed them for the next day). Yesterday after college I saw a feather bower in a shop window and bought that, however the feathers were not quite what I was looking for and needed, and besides it had a bit of glitter on (Still better then the brightly coloured pack though). This morning I just happened to go out into the garden to do something and see the rabbit (I sometimes do this of a morning but it is by no means a daily thing) and on the floor I noticed a bird’s feather on the garden. I was like wow this is much more like it, although still not the perfect feather I had been looking for. Then I noticed another, which I thought could be useful and then another and another, until the last feather that I found in the garden. It was hidden in slightly longer grass then the rest, which was wet and wet my socks in my flip flops. However it was worth getting my feet wet as when I picked it up I realised it was the perfect feather, just what I had been looking for, the right shape, realistic bird colour and no glitter. God is a provider. He provides us with what we need. Not always what we want, but what we need.
