What Language does God speak to you in?

I have been doing a good bit of reading lately, actually I am reading two books at one time. The one that has been hitting me hard is Max Lucado's "He Chose the Nails" In this there is a statement that Lucado makes that really has impacted the way I think about God. He states how there is no language that God does not speak, and this is not limited to just a verbal language but spreads to other things. When reading this I realized that God speaks into my life through the language of provision.

As I look back into my life, I see that there has been many times when I would have been lacking in something, but God always pulled through for me. He delivered things to me that I needed, at the exact moment I needed them in. When my family was kicked out of our house, God provided a new home through my grandparents. When my dad left us, God provided a new father through my Grandpa. When we didn't have the money to pay some bills, God sent the money through some random people. When I needed money to go to CSU God sent it all my way. With my faith in God, God has not let me down.

The most recent act of provision that God has given my family is through my mom. My mom lost her job this week because the restaurant she has worked at for 6 years closed down. I struggled through this because things had been going good as of late. The way I look at it now is that God has to make sure that I am still vulnerable to change, that I do not allow my pride to get higher than the humility that I contain. But with that being said yesterday at church (which was amazing by the way) I started claiming prosperity over my family. I claimed a job for my mother, and that the loss of one is the beginning of a new season that my family will prosper in and will be blessed. I felt the spirit come over me like it has not done in a while and I new that it was done, that God would provide. Well low and behold today God provided. My mom texted me saying that she got a job today, making more money than she had been making before. There was an excitement in the air and all I could do was praise God. She didn't know that I had claimed a job for her yesterday, but never the less God still provided. It's amazing how God works.

Love you guys,
