God works in such remarkable ways. I am often dumbfounded by His provision, and how I am so often completely unaware He is working. You may recall a few weeks ago that I got a flat tire while traveling home from NY. Over the past couple of weeks, I thought that tire was again looking low. I wasn't certain, but since my dear daughter drives that car to school, I wanted to get it checked. I brought the car in.
It turns out that the very kind garage that patched the tire on my trek home from NY had patched the sidewall. That is a big no-no, will never hold long term, but it only cost me $7, and got me safely home. Once home, I was able to go to the shop where I have tire insurance, and the tire was replaced for a fraction of the cost of what I would have had to pay had the garage who patched it tried to sell me a new tire instead.
It all worked out...well, miraculously.
OK, you cynics. I know what you are thinking. If God was so good, He wouldn't have let me have the flat tire in the first place. WRONG! By getting the flat tire and then being able to observe and even perhaps understand the sequence of events of His provision, my trust and faith in His goodness was enhanced. I learned other lessons like patience, and trusting my instincts, and probably others I don't even yet know. If there is one really important lesson in all of this it is keep my eyes wide open because God is right in front of them all the time.

And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him. (Hebrews 11:6 ESV)
