Who Said It
Todd Wilson

If you receive your Men of Integrity content online, you've already met Todd, his wife Debbie, and their six kids through his humorous "Familyman Weekly" column. At Purdue University, Todd told God, "I've run the first 20 years; you've got the rest." After 12 years as a youth and associate pastor, he decided to go with his passion to serve families. To encourage home-schooling parents, Todd spends several months each year traveling with his family in a 30-foot, gas-guzzling RV.

What He Said
Whose Problem?

My friend Kevin stands out—not because he's tall, thin as a rail, and looks like a misplaced cowboy here in the Midwest, but because of how he trusts God.

Most people pray but trust in hunches. Kevin prays against the odds and, when the situation looks bleak, simply believes God is going to do what's best for his family and for His own glory. At times I thought he'd have to show at least a little concern, but he didn't. When he was suddenly laid off from work, he just grinned and said, "Well, I guess God's going to have to provide in a different way."

Most people panic, throw all they say they believe about God's provision out of the window, and scramble to make it happen. Not Kevin. He doesn't force the issue, rush in to take care of it himself, or throw up prayers of panic. He works hard, does the best he can, and then waits on God to make it happen. And God has never let him down.

Prayer for the Week

Lord, You've never let me down in my past. So help me to really rely on You for my present and future.
