Financial Blessing During Unanticipated Event
She was one of my wife’s favorite aunts and it would have been difficult to tell my wife she couldn’t go to the funeral. Because of the location, going to the funeral involved booking airline tickets and hotel reservations. These meant spending a lot of money for something of great value to our family.

“And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.”

Philippians 4:19 NKJV

What an awesome promise we are given in Philippians 4:19. The Bible tells us that God will provide according to His riches in glory, not according to our faith or our works or anything else about us. His provision is according to what He has and by extension by Who He is.

God kept this promise by providing cash for the plane tickets and for the hotel. It’s funny how we always have what we need, even when the unexpected happens. I thank God for His provision and His love.

The Blessing of Restoration
The trip was important to my wife but why was it important to God? It was important because the desire of my wife’s heart. It was also important because God was ready to do the work of restoration. Even while mourning the loss of a loved one, my wife and her cousins were able to re-establish bonds which had grown weak over the years. God restored family ties and we look forward to growth in this area of our lives. This is a great blessing on which we cannot estimate the value.

The Blessing of a New Chapter
A few years ago my wife left a job where the work environment had taken an uncomfortable turn. God opened a door back then to a better working situation but at lower pay. We had to make some changes, but God provided for us and moved my wife forward along a path He showed her one night during her quiet time. We learned last month that she will receive a promotion with a pay increase that puts her back to where she was on her old job. This is a blessing both financially for our family and career wise for my wife. I thank God for providing for us over the past few years and for His blessings as we move forward according to His will.
