In Mary's praise to the Lord, You have reminded me that You will always take care of me. "exalted the lowly," "filled the hungry with good things," these verses reming me that God will always take care and provide. "Hungry" doesn't always mean physical hunger; you can be hungry for love, affection, spiritually, etc. and God fills ALL hungers with good things. I am a living testament to how God provides, and I'm sure if anyone looks backwards throught their own lives they will see God's provisions for them as well.
My testamony on this starts 3 months after I was married in May of 2009. My husband and his father owned a custom cabinet shop. They made the most beautiful cabinets I had ever seen put in a house! They did good, quality work, and never had an upset customer. However, when the economy started going down, so did their business. My husband and his father were struggling to hang on. For months neither recieved a pay check while I was only working a part time bairly above minimum wage job. The shop went out of business and my husband went without a paycheck for 7 months. We survived off his paycheck before and now we were trying to make ends meet off of my $350 every 2 weeks. We had a house, a car, student loans, power bills, phone bills, etc. We lived month to month to say the least. Then God provided a part time youth ministry position that helped with $100/week. God placed people and oportunities in our lives that looking back now still makes me cry! Every 2 weeks when I got paid we would tithe, even though we did not see how we could make it without that money, every month we wondered how we would make it the next, every month we never missed a payment! God always provides! Then God provided my husband with work! We still struggled, but we continued to make it. 2 months later, God provided me with full time work and a career that we could live off of and we had to move. 1 month later, God has provided my husban with a full time job at out new location! GOD IS SO GOOD!!
"My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit has rejoiced in God my Savior."
