This morning, while I surveyed the beautiful desert that is my home and drank coffee from my snowman mug I found myself silently asking God questions like I always do. As I looked down at my blue Mexican sweater and the Ugg boots that kept my feet warm, I asked God the question that I was most eager to have answered. This was my question to God: "Why should I get to enjoy this while there are so many human beings living in poverty?" So many people struggling. His answer wasn't a direct answer to my question, but it came to me. Perhaps he sent it at the same time he sent the wind that made my ears feel a little cold. He said.
"I am with them Annie" The more I analyzed the situation, the more I realized that he was.God told Joshua that He would be with him wherever he was (Joshua 1:9).
And I know that God is with those that are living in poverty too.
God is with them, and so I know that they too must be enjoying some particle of God's grace.
Beautiful thoughts!
