MAY 6, Proverbs 3:5-6

You may have heard from your parents that the economic situation is bad. Your parents may be out of 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 his sons. “Jesus once made a boy’s lunch enough for thousands of people.”

“You are right, Joel,” said his father, “Let’s ask God to help us.” So, he led his wife and children in the family prayer.

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 spoiled the labels on the canned food. Even though the food is still edible, he could not sell them anymore. Imagine the joy of this family!

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

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

Thought: God is pleased with those who trust in Him.

Prayer: Our Father in Heaven, it is wonderful to know that we can always depend on You. Help us to remember this when we are 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. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.
