Matthew 17:27 Go to the lake and throw out your line...
Matthew 17:27
"Go to the lake and throw out your line. Take the first fish you catch; open its mouth and you will find a four-drachma coin. Take it and give it to them for My tax and yours."
God provides in so many ways...
As it was in the Bible, when Peter ask how to pay the tax man...Jesus asked him to go to the lake and catch the fish who in turn will have sufficient funds in it to pay the tax. This would seem to be an odd way to provide for a need but it definately would be remembered !
Do you remember the fish that God provided for you...?

You are where you need to be...
God always has a plan for you. The places you have been, the experiences that you have, the people you have met ...all are part of a bigger plan. Some small events that you never gave a second thought to, a place where you felt you had to go, at a particular time, on a particular day.
Take for example this weekend. I was at a neighbouring town on my usual weekend errants. My thoughts were bouncing between visit a new hyper market nearby or to go further across the bridge into the mainland to check out some of the other shopping centers there for some items for my collection. Eventually I settled for staying on the island and going to the hyper market nearby. Not really remembering the actual location, I decided to go to the new mall which I had visited before in the general area to see if it was located there. After parking my car, I went down and checked at the information counter. No sign of the hyper market here. Oh well, I thought, I would have to continue my journey to see if it was further up the road.
As I walked to the car park, I missed the door to the second floor where my car was parked and entered the ground floor parking. As I turned back to find the door leading upstairs, a young couple approached me and ask me if I could help them as their car was not starting. They pointed me to their car parked near the entrance of the car parking. I told them to wait as I drove my car down.
After reaching their car, we maneuvered the car out of the bay so that we could hook up the jump cables. It started up on the first try and we both continued on our way. I finally found the hyper market a short distance down the road.
Now looking back, I could see so many factors falling into place.
What if I had not changed my battery 2 weeks ago ? Would my battery had been able to jump start the other car?
What if I had gone straight to the hyper market or followed my original plan to go accross to the main land ?
What if I had gone straight up to the second floor without missing the door ?
Sure eventually they would have found some other person to help them but can't help to think that I was placed at there at that point in time for that purpose.
How many other incidence in your life that you look back and realiase that you were not there by accident ?

Luke 12:6-7 Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies?
Luke 12:6-7
New International Version (NIV)
6 Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God. 7 Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.
It is nice to know that you are considered worthy to be cared for. Throw your worries to God and he has a plan to take care of you. This does not mean that you run accross a highway or step in front of a bus but to put your trust in God and do what you need to do.
