Jehovah Jireh is a Hebrew name for God that translates to “The Lord Will Provide.” Our God sees and He provides. He knows what we need before we ever ask or think.
A couple of months ago we had ordered some new speakers for the church. I received a call from the delivery driver that they were waiting at the doors of the church. I had an appointment that evening in just a couple of hours and I needed to drop a form off at my son’s school, and now I needed to get to the church to get these speakers in before it started to rain. When I got to the end of my driveway I asked myself “left or right?” Which errand did I want to handle first? I decided to go to my son’s school, drop off the form and head to the church. When I arrived at the church I saw a HUGE crate by the door! These speakers were easily double the size I had anticipated (I was envisioning their much smaller predecessors.) I went to locate a dolly because I knew it was going to be necessary. Then I came back around and just stared at those speakers wondering what I was even going to do.
My son Titus was with me and said, “Why don’t you call someone?”. I didn’t even know who to call most of our church staff was on vacation, my husband wouldn’t get off work for an hour and would have to commute and I stood there at a complete loss…. For 5 seconds… when all of a sudden around the bend and into the parking lot comes a familiar truck and trailer. Before I even had time to pray about it, God sent me exactly what I needed, Matthew Hawk had pulled in to come and mow the church grounds and he happened to arrive right when I was at a loss! He immediately knew what to do and we got those speakers inside in no time. If I had come to the church first I may have already given up before Matthew pulled in, but God provided the solution to my problem right on time!
Just last week Phil Frost came in the church and told me that my passenger side front tire was low, Tom Hubbell overheard him and said, “If you give me your keys, I’ll go fill it up with the air compressor in the garage.”. It was like a full car service while I was getting ready for Sunday morning. Tom came back in and told me that he had discovered that I had a nail in my tire. If I had been out and about with my kids and the tire went flat I can only imagine what could have happened, but that’s never happened because I knew now that i needed to get it fixed. Before I even knew I had a problem, God knew how to solve it and He sent some senior saints my way. I have countless examples like this in my life where our Sovereign God has shown up through it all. Thank God He is a provider! He is always on time!

Ephesians 3:20-21
Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.

Enjoying the morning sun on the deck of our condo while vacationing with my family in Myrtle Beach last month, I received a call from one of my daughters. It was our first morning at the beach and as I conversed with her, I noticed a humming bird that kept coming closer to where I sat. Something was obviously wrong, as she was frantically flapping her wings flying towards me, then away, but always hovering around the deck, seemingly in distress. She flew off, but remained in close sight of the deck and kept coming back toward the deck, displaying what appeared to be the behavior of an upset bird. Her routine continued and I eventually realized there had to be a reason to cause her to behave as she was. Still on the phone, I began scouting out my surroundings. At some point I looked up and there was what I first thought was some type of a wasp nest built on a string of outdoor lights. I quickly realized it wasn’t an insect’s nest at all. I had spotted the smallest bird’s nest I had ever seen. So small, in fact, it could only belong to a hummingbird. To my surprise, I realized we had a mother hummingbird staying at our condo!
There were 21 of us vacationing together this year and, needless to say, it was the first time any of us had ever seen a hummingbird’s nest. We were all fascinated, to say the least! It was perfectly built out of leaves, lichens, and the tiniest of feathers. It was small enough to easily fit inside a small tea cup. One of the taller boys was able to hold his phone over the nest and snap a photo that revealed two very small eggs lying inside.
One of the grandkids named the mama bird “Barbara,” who became the focus and marvel of everyone’s week.
Barbara continued to exhibit the same behavior she had with me throughout our week, flying around furiously, and, if it was quiet, you could hear her frantic chirping which was a sound barely more than a whisper. In time, she eventually got comfortable enough to sit on the nest for a second or two before flying off, yet always hovering within sight, and obviously upset that were enjoying the deck that she considered hers.
As I watched her throughout the week, my mind repeatedly went to Matthew 6:26; “His eye is on the sparrow.” This means that God cares for the birds of the air, yet emphasizes that we are of greater value to Him. No, “Barbara” was not a sparrow, but she was a bird and the frantic manner in which she watched over her soon to be young, reminded me of the faithful Father who does the same for me. What an illustration of the Savior’s love this bird was imparting!
I’m not a good sleeper so several times during the week I would be up in the night and I would peek out the window to find “Barbara” sitting calmly on her nest. Even in the dark, there she was, caring for her children. That image brought to mind Psalm 36:7; “the children of men take refuge in the shadow of Your wings.” This bird was demonstrating to me what God’s sheltering and protecting love looks like every single hour of the day and night! It was a beautiful and touching illustration and I am grateful to a God who cared enough to send it.
I’ve spent many summers in Myrtle Beach but meeting “Barbara” and the message she brought made this trip unforgettable! Her eggs didn’t hatch prior to our leaving, though we were all hoping they would! However, I did eventually receive a picture from the condo’s owner. It was of empty egg shells in the nest letting us know the babies had hatched. I probably will never see “Barbara” again, but I have no doubt I’ll remain in contact with the Savior who loves me enough to send a tiny bird to remind me His eyes and love are always upon me. What an amazing God!

Our family of five sat around the dinner table last night giving a recap of our day. Reagan & Ryland informed me they had been scaling Mount Laundry all afternoon and still hadn't reached the summit. Gibbs shared about a new kid he met at school. I gave a rundown of my day at the church preparing my message for Sunday. Kari mentioned that she had been to the church school and grocery store. Then she shared an off-the-cuff secret. "Oh, and I have a praise. I finished Revelation this morning during my devotions."

The replies: "Nice!" "Good job, Mom." "Hey, that's great." Then Kari went on to say, "Yeah, it took me a few years, but I have now walked through the study Bible dad gave me a long time ago and I have journaled through every book of the Bible."

No one knows this detail about Kari's daily life. There were no social media announcements posted of this accomplishment. ABC 6 did not end the 6:00 news congratulating a local pastor's wife for her years-long achievement. And yet, although this is never mentioned--everyone who knows Kari personally knows this secret. How? Because you cannot hide secret righteousness, just like you cannot hide secret unrighteousness. God set it up that way.

"And when you pray, you shall not be like the hypocrites. For they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward. But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly." (Matthew 6:5-6)

"Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of Him to whom we must give account." (Hebrews 4:13)

Good or bad, who you are behind closed doors is going to be revealed. It usually takes time, years even, but who you are being behind the veil in private will be known in public. And the quiet, daily life you live and hammer out on the unseen anvil is going to deeply influence and impact the people around you for good or evil, blessing or cursing. Today, I praise the Lord for a godly, loving, gracious, kind, consistent, contented, courageous, faithful, fun, funny, hard-working, enjoyable, Spirit-filled, joy-filled lady named Kari Whisner. If you know her, you'll never hear her boast and blast her own horn, but it's no secret this is who she is. I commend her example to you.
