God's provision - Car Park Lot

Had to go to the bank during my lunch break to do some personal stuff. You know what it's like going to a bank during lunch time on a weekday? Couldn't find a parking lot. The congested car park had about 6 cars waiting for a lot ahead of me. Drove out of that parking area. Told God He would provide. Even as I muttered that silently, my human mind wanted to turn off to another area where I thought I would have a higher chance of finding a parking space but I heard the Lord prompting me to drive to another car park (which is usually crowded with cars awaiting too). Was kind of reluctant but obeyed Him anyway and turned into the car park. There was another car waiting just ahead and a motorcycle parked illegally to my right. Decided to just put on my hazzard lights to wait. 20 seconds later, the motorcyclist climbed up his bike and moved off. 10 seconds after, the driver of a car on my right gestured to me that she was leaving. God provided me with a parking lot just exactly where I had stopped my car. Not a car length more, not a car length less. Isn't He amazing?

Okay, so you think, this woman's a bit bonkers, gloating over a parking lot God had seemingly provided her with. Well, I'm actually gloating over the fact that I obeyed Him and trusted Him AND it paid off. Now, it was just a teeny weeny parking lot. Not a very big leap of faith on my part. I didn't have much to lose by obeying Him in this case. But God desires us to really put our foot into it (so to speak). We're to take VERY BIG LEAPS OF FAITH and place our trust in Him in matters, big or small. That's the toughest part isn't it? To place our trust that He will take care of us in matters of utmost importance or relevance. Parking lot? Bah, easy peasy. Health? Love? Finances? Work? Problems? How do we keep our faith in Him to provide in such cases?

In my case, I need to be constantly reminded. I think God reminds me with small 'miracles' such as giving me a parking lot just because I trusted Him to provide me with one. It's not the first time and it won't be the last. If I can keep taking small steps to trust in Him, then I know I'm headed in the direction He would like me to take. Have a go and start trusting the Lord to provide, starting with the small stuff in your life. You may not always get the answer you are looking for but He knows better.
