When We Don't Even Know What We Need

When we don't know what we need, God does. Sometimes He will bless us in ways that surprise us.

I didn't know that I needed to teach Children's Church, but I do. God knew that and provided the opportunity. It's going to be so much fun and I'm going to learn so much!

I didn't know that I needed a brand new, free Samsung tablet, but I did. I knew that my computer was getting old but new ones are expensive. I thought that I might need to get a new one in a year or so. God had other plans. Now, not only do I not yet need a new computer because I can use the tablet, I still have a laptop for when I really need it. God knew all of this.

I can even use the tablet for Children's Church.

I didn't know that I needed to use my dad's old Bible, but I do. I knew that it would be good to get a new Bible, preferably a Study Bible, but I never knew how helpful it would be to have my dad's notes and verses that he highlighted. But God did. I feel like I'm getting to know things about my dad through the verses he marked that I never had the chance to know before. 

I never thought to ask God for any of these things but He has provided them and now that I have them, I can see how much He has blessed me, how much I really needed them.
