God Provides When He Takes Away

God Provides When He Takes Away

This post is meant to serve as a reminder that God’s provision is about more than the chronology of things happening… For example he brought me a job when I lost my main one - he just brought that to me before I lost it… the timing of that event make it no less significant or caused by God… He answered the prayer I hadn’t uttered yet when it comes to providing for my family I believe one way God provides in the midst of taking things away is through living a life of daily submission to him. The idea that it goes: something bad happens pray for protection maybe something happens and the reality of what happens affects my view of God is silly, selfish, and misguided. God sometimes provides by gifting you in a way that ends up protecting you later - but to make the claim the gift was honed solely by you, or worse - a product of yourself, is to make a grave theological error… God’s provision is a daily journey with him, not a hail mary prayer for a last second safety net…

Whoever practices righteousness is righteous, as he is righteous The difference I note is that ESV, right or wrong, is more clear that the "just as that one is righteous" is actually Jesus ...
You suck at git - but it’s honestly fine

You suck at git - but it’s honestly fine

Git is for everyone # I just started listening to localfirst.fm podcast podcast and would recommend it after 2 episodes. In the first episode, the hosts discuss where the term comes from, what it means, and examples of some localfirst, or semi-localfirst projects. One of them is the de-facto standard by which developers share code today. There’s a reason it’s the standard. I’m not arguing that it’s perfect, and there’s new abstractions that may help people adopt usage like jujutsu, but ultimately is a great tool, and anyone can use it who works with text files (lookin at you book-writing nerds) But as I was enjoying the pod the co-host/guest said “and we all know the git user experience isn’t that great” heavy sigh Git isn’t that hard - you probably just aren’t that good at it It’s OK # Don’t hear me say that you suck at git like that’s a bad thing… It’s totally fine to not be a wizard. Many people can use git like 80-90% efficiently for their own use cases. In fact, my usage of git do…
