I want to build an altar to God with my words tonight.
Listening to a friend talk about their family’s long-awaited financial prosperity, I had an ‘a-ha’ moment. I realised two things: first, that although we do not have the income or ‘secure’ employment of my friend’s family, God has been faithful to provide for everything we needed, at the time we most desperately needed it; and second, my fear was gone. I was able to listen to her joy without envy.
Tonight I am Ruth, who has found favour with Boaz in her time of great need.
I don’t know if we will go through more financial trials this year, or whether a season of prosperity has now begun, but I do know that I want to shout out to the world that my God was faithful to provide for me and my family. I want build a monument that I can look to if I go through more trials. I want to testify now, while my hope and faith are high, so that this blog shows him and his goodness as well as me and all my failings.
Has God been faithful to his word in your life recently? Will you join me in building an altar with your words?
