Thankful yet Sorrowful

So- Corey still has a job after multiple layoffs at his company today. I am so thankful that the Lord is providing for us today like He always does. Yet, I am full of sympathy and my heart is so heavy for those that lost their jobs. I try to stay away from the news these days because everything is so doom and gloom, but occasionally I will read something on the internet reporting how many people are unemployed. Just about everyone I know has been affected by the economy in some sort of way and I know how stressful it is when people don't have the money to pay their bills. It is a reminder for me to be faithful in giving to those who are struggling, to listen to those who just need someone to lend an ear, and to be a friend to those that are feeling so alone in their time of need. God has blessed us more than we deserve and I want to be a good steward with what He has given us.
The Lord is so good, He is faithful, and we can TRUST HIM!!
I was listening to the latest "Passion" CD "God of this City" today and there is a Matt Redman song on there called "God of our Yesterdays" and it talks about how God is Sovereign and we can trust Him. In the middle of the song, Matt Redman quotes a scripture and says "Those who know Your name, put their trust in You."
Well, I know His name.. Jehovah Jireh, my Provider! and He is FAITHFUL
