Luke 12:22-31 (ESV)
If then you are not able to do as small a thing as that, why are you anxious about the rest? Consider the lilies, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. But if God so clothes the grass, which is alive in the field today, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, how much more will he clothe you, O you of little faith! And do not seek what you are to eat and what you are to drink, nor be worried. For all the nations of the world seek after these things, and your Father knows that you need them. Instead, seek his kingdom, and these things will be added to you.
When I first arrived in Vancouver, I brought everything I had with me, but because of a housing conflict, the only suit I had with me was the first suit I bought when I’d gotten my job with Naturalizer. That was a suit that had another great story behind it, but that’s not for this post.
After I’d miraculously aced the interview, I noticed that my suit had a worm hole. I’d had dinner at my Aunt’s, and a friend of hers had told me that along commercial drive . When I explored commercial, I found a retiring tailor who had one suit left in my size that was right on the window.
The suit fit me perfectly. And the best part was it cost me 350, down from 700 dollars.
The other day, a client at work asked if they were paying me too much because my suit looked tailored. Strange story how the greatest suit I’ve ever had came as an act of such strange providence.
I wonder if other things can be this way?
