Empanadas and Faith

Today there were four people from the Nazarene Church baptized in the localriver. It is always so exciting for me to watch the joyous celebration ofthese fellow believers. I am looking forward to see what God has for theirlives.After playing the weekly basketball game with the youth group, I went backto my apartment and started to think about making some sort of dinner. Iwas feeling rather depressed and lonely, thinking about eating and spendingthe night alone in my apartment. I was missing my past friends from Shelland the Sunday night dinners we used to have. While I was thinking alongthese lines, my friend Pamela called me to invite me over to the Pastor'shouse with others to just hang out. I ended up spending the next couplehours singing and enjoying the company of others. The pastor's wife made usempanadas (filled with cheese) and it just struck me that, God really doesknow the desires of our hearts and He wants to give them to us. This mightseem like such a small thing, but it meant so much to me that even though mydesire was so trivial He still provided. It also seems fitting that thesermon this morning was about not worrying or fretting over things. ThatGod will provide and give us peace. How wonderful it is that we have a Godwho will make sure we understand His word. Many times I have read thepassages referring to not worrying or being anxious, but God didn't stopthere, He reinforced them in my daily life and I am so grateful that He hasthe patience to do that for me. I want to always have confidence in Hisprovision for my life. I challenge you to look at your day and see thelittle details of God's work in your life. Even our smallest desires Hehears, what a mighty God we serve!
