Desiring God has been given new facilities for $1 a year. All we have to do is outfit the building for our needs.

And God has provided through more than 500 different people! As of October 3, 2008, $1 million has been donated to help make Hope Commons the new launching pad for Desiring God. Please join us in praising God for this good and timely provision from his hand.

God moved in a mysterious, miraculous way to provide for this need. Since December of 2007, we have been bringing this need before God and before friends of Desiring God. After God quickly provided nearly $600,000 this spring, we made little progress for the next five months.

But God knew what we needed and when we would need it. So we gathered daily to pray, to encourage each other to press on, and to remember God’s good provision to his people in the Bible.

And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:19)

And all along God was taking care of us. He knew before we did that the buildout of our new space would be delayed by several months. And when construction began in earnest, God provided through his people more than $300,000 in less than five weeks—during some of the most difficult economic times in memory.

God is not constrained by a credit crisis or inflation or the stock market. He reigns supreme and is lavish in his generosity to those who wait on him!

Thank you, Father, for your good provision through these faithful people. Thank you for your word to carry us through difficulty:

But as for me, I will look to the Lord; I will wait for the God of my salvation; my God will hear me. (Micah 7:7)

Thank you, most of all, for the greatest treasure in the universe – Jesus Christ!
