It's a matter of faith.  Everytime I want the house to be in perfect order, I remember good things happen in God's time.  Should I feel nervous without a roof over our home?  Think about it... with out that roof,  the rain comes in.  It can cause all sorts of problems.  It can cause wood to rot and belongings to  mildew.   Victims of violent storms know that after the roof blows off many belongings are ruined. 

  Isn't having a roof over your home, a lot like trusting God?  He covers you and wants to protect you.   When we stay covered by the Lords protection we can relax that the storms of life won't soak in and ruin our lives. 

A sweet lady who watches our newscasts sent me a story about another woman who was in the late stages of her cancer battle.  She was in such pain, she decided to stay home instead of going to her treatment.  She was hurting.   In her pain, she called out to God and said, "God, I don't know you or anything about you but I want to put myself in your hands and turn things over to your will."

Then this woman's friend heard her quote scripture.  It was Isaiah 58 " Then your light will break forth like the dawn.  and your  healing will quickly appear; then your righteousness will go before you, and the glory of the Lord will be your rear guard."

This woman's friend said, I thought you never read the Bible?  She replied, I've never opened a Bible.

But how could she quote scripture?

The story went on to report that the woman who had cancer, was healed.  She didn't have to deal with it again.  The Lord covered her with his Love, healing and wisdom.

I've decided, I'm not going to worry about the roof anymore.  I'm  just going to trust that the Lord has me covered roof or no roof!
