Provision Comes - Steve Martin, Love For His People Ministry

 Provision Comes

 


 

"In vain do you get up early and put off going to bed, working hard to earn a living; for he provides for his beloved, even when they sleep.” Psalm 127:2, Complete Jewish Bible

 

When I clearly heard the Lord back in mid-2009 to give my usual six-month notice that I was leaving my position at that time as the USA Director of an international ministry, I was sincerely seeking the Lord for what would be the provision going forward. He had finally given me the go-ahead to start our new ministry after years of wanting to do so, and my faith was founded on Him and the funds to make it happen.

 

Assuming that money would “just come” to cover the ministry costs, and our own personal expenses, being I was obediently following His leading, I was not overly concerned. After all, I was doing as He said, and it was often heard, “Where the Lord guides, He provides.” I believed it.

 

But after a few months, things got a bit uncertain. And we didn’t have a savings account or dollars stuffed under the bed to cover the mortgage, car payments (2), and regular monthly bills that still came. With my income dropping from $70,000 per year to just over $11,000 (I still have all my accurate tax returns for those years and following so as not to “exaggerate”), my good wife was greatly encouraging me to do something. Even if it meant for me getting a job at McDonalds if I had to.

 

Thankfully, her part-time job as a child caretaker provided food and some other needed income for the home.

 

In my heart, I knew the Lord was going to provide. I waited for His clear direction. In the meantime, He did lead me to seek a part-time accounting job, which I did.

 

And then He spoke. “Use what I have already given you.”

 

“What?” I asked.

 

He responded further. “Your home. The extra bedroom.”

 

Being our four kids had moved out, we had two extra bedrooms in our home, basically unused. That was 13 years ago, and we have had a renter ever since, providing income for the ministry and more.

 

In addition to that, with the accounting contract services jobs He has provided over those 13 years, it covered all ministry expenses for frequent Israel trips, and gave us additional monthly support for our Messianic Jewish friends living in the Land.

 

With that being said, we had decided to no longer have a renter, to take a “break” from it. This August 2023 was to be the end of it. And I thought, “There goes my Israel ministry trip funds” as I had known. I even began to think that there would be no trips to Israel in 2024. And so, I again put it in the hands of the Lord to see where His next means of provision were to come from, for He hadn’t removed the calling and ministry that He had first given 13 years ago.

 

And then on Aug. 7, 2023, I got a voice message from someone responding to a “room rental ad” I had placed in January of this year (2023) but had placed the ad on “pause” in February. How did that happen - that it was seen?

 

When I mentioned the call to Laurie, she responded rather positively, surprisingly to me, after I had already told the person we no longer were renting the room.

 

And then Laurie had the person come over that same night…and now we are going to be back having a renter here near the end of the year, after giving it a few months break. And the rent income will be double what we were getting from the last one! Ministry income!

 

The Lord does provide. He is always faithful to enable us to fulfill what He has called us to do. Each one of us, if we but keep our eyes fixed on Him.

 

As He promises to each of us in faith, “…and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith…” Hebrews 12:1-2, NASU

 

What He has called you to do, continue doing it. Even when it looks like it may be “done and over”, He will still make a way, until it is really done and over, and we have reached our eternal reward in heaven.

 

Ahava and shalom,

Standing in support of Israel, Jews, and believers in all the nations, in the Name of Jesus (Yeshua) Our regular communication to share the Love For His People with our friends. Blessings on ye head! 


 Aug. 4, 2023 Charlotte, North Carolina 

Greetings to my family and friends of Love For His People Ministry. 

I am grateful to the Lord that He continues to give me words of encouragement and inspiration to share with you. And then once I have accumulated a good many I like to publish in a book, making it easier to read as a morning devotional or to pick up anytime and hear what He may be saying again. 

That said, I have now published my 37th book, Being Faithful to the End

Being faithful to the end is what each of us has been called to do, by the One Who created us and gives us all we need to complete the tasks set before us. As it is written in Hebrews 3:14-15: “For if we are faithful to the end, trusting God just as firmly as when we first believed, we will share in all that belongs to Christ.” 

As you read the chapters I have written over a period of several months, I pray you will continue to take the next steps necessary to hear the Lord daily, understand His Word, and obey Him as He leads you into new and amazing ways. 

Whether you are a new believer or one who has known the Lord since your youth, as I have, may His ongoing love and encouragement guide you in all things, as you continue to be faithful to the end of your life. 

The messages in this book: 

1. Keep On Keeping On 
2. When All Else Fails 
3. When No Becomes Know 
4. Pioneers 
5. Giving Life
6. Heart of Compassion 
7. When You Have Nothing 
8. Enough 
9. Oppressed 
10. How I Learned To Give 
11. Justice – It Will Come 
12. Carry Them On Your Shoulders 
13. Remember the Markers 
14. In the Heart of God 
15. Next Step 1
16. The King and His Bride 
17. Searchin’ 
18. Trust and Forgiveness 
19. Through It All 
20. Messiah 
21. Final Word 

For the next 5 days, beginning tonight, Saturday, Aug. 5, 2023 at 12 am PDT, the Kindle version will be free for download (normally $2.99). This will end on Aug. 9 at 12 am midnight PDT. You don't have to have a Kindle iPad to download. You can get it on your mobile phone or laptop.

Thankful. Always. Our Lord. – Love For His People Ministry

 

Thankful. Always. Our Lord. – Love For His People Ministry

Nov. 24, 2022 Love For His People Ministry in Charlotte, North Carolina USA

Greetings family and friends,

As the nation of the United States of America today stops and gives thanks, above all to the Almighty God, we share His goodness, provision, and direction with all.

Without His grace and mercy operating in the world and the nations, we would not have anything good, decent, or of eternal value.

We give thanks to our God the Father, Yeshua (Jesus) His only Begotten Son, and the Holy Spirit (Ruach HaKodesh) as they direct and judge the hearts of men and women.

With all thanksgiving and praise,

Steve and Laurie Martin, Love For His People founders
