When God Provides: Finding Hope and Creativity in the Midst of Plumbing Problems

Have you ever found yourself in a situation where you feel stuck and unable to move forward? Maybe you’ve been feeling this way for a while, and it seems like nothing is working out for you. Perhaps you’ve accepted lies about yourself or convinced yourself that things would never change. But I want to encourage you today that there is hope and that things can turn around.

Recently, I experienced a situation where I turned on the water faucet, but there was no water. I thought I had fixed the issue, but nothing seemed to work. However, instead of giving up and accepting the situation, I decided to be creative and find solutions. It wasn’t easy, but with faith and perseverance, we overcame the challenge.

We were without water to the house for one week, but God provided us with nice weather and enough containers to fill with water directly from the well. It was a time of testing and being creative in finding solutions as each new challenge confronted us.

When repaired, the plumber showed me the problem – a clogged pipe. When you hold it up to the light, you only see 2 very small pen holes which supplied water to the entire house. And I was always told we have low water pressure because our system is old.

The clogged pipe on my kitchen counter is a powerful reminder of the consequences of accepting situations.

 

For years, I convinced myself that our low water pressure was just a fact of life. I adapted to it, making small adjustments here and there to accommodate the limitations of our plumbing. But in doing so, I was shutting down the flow of energy, power, love, and transformation in my home.

Life is full of unexpected twists and turns; sometimes, things don’t go as planned. Sometimes, we adapt to our circumstances and adjust to accommodate our limitations. But in doing so, we can shut down the possibility of God’s blessings and provision in our lives. We must remember that we serve a God who is a way-maker and can make a way where there seems to be no way.

It’s easy to get discouraged and lose hope when we face difficulties, but we must trust that God has a plan and a purpose for our lives. If you’re facing a situation in your life that you know isn’t healthy or sustainable, it’s time to take action. Don’t settle for less than God’s best in your life. Pray for wisdom and discernment to know what steps to take, and have faith that God will provide for your every need.

Take a moment to reflect on the promises of God.

He promises to give us hope and a future (Jeremiah 29:11), to work all things together for our good (Romans 8:28), and to never leave us nor forsake us (Hebrews 13:5). These promises are not just words on a page; they are truths that we can hold onto and believe.

It’s never too late to make a change in your life.

Don’t let fear or complacency hold you back from experiencing the abundant life that Christ promises. Step out in faith, and trust that God will guide you every step of the way.

So, my friend, don’t give up hope. Keep pressing forward.

Trust that God has a plan for your life. He can make a way where there seems to be no way and provide for your every need. Be creative, stay positive, and believe that better days are ahead.

Remember, you are loved, valued, and capable of achieving your dreams. Keep pressing forward, and don’t give up hope. God has a plan and a purpose for your life, and He will work all things together for your good (Romans 8:28-29).

With love and encouragement,
