MAY 5,  Proverbs 3:5-6

You may have heard from your parents that the economic situation is bad. Your parents may be out of a job or facing financial problems.

Imagine this scenario… Once a family sat down to dinner. The father was worried as he had very little savings left.

“Jesus can help us,” said little Joel, one of the sons. “Jesus once made a boy’s lunch enough for thousands of people.”

“You’re right, Joel,” said the father,“let’s ask God to help us.” So he, his wife and his children prayed.

That evening the phone rang. It was the man who owned the provision shop. He had some canned food to give to the family. The rain had spoilt the paper wrapping round the cans and although the food is still edible, he couldn’t sell them. Imagine the joy of this family!

Joel was right. Jesus always has a way to help us. There is no trouble in which He can’t help us, so trust in the Lord always!

Match the person to the faith and trust in the Lord.

Prayer: Our Father in Heaven, it is wonderful to know that we can always depend on You. Help us to remember this when we’re in trouble. We thank you and love You for saving us from sin, our worst trouble. Please keep us in Your Kingdom and bless us. Amen.
