"I am a Bible college student," he replies.

"A Bible college student. Hmmm," the father says. "Admirable, but what will you do to provide a nice house for my daughter to live in, as she's accustomed to?"

"I will study," the young man replies, "and God will provide for us."

"And how will you buy her a beautiful engagement ring, such as she deserves?" asks the father.

"I will concentrate on my studies," the young man replies.  "God will provide for us."

"And children?" asks the father.  "How will you support children?"

"Don't worry, sir, God will provide," replies the fiance.  The conversation proceeds like this, and each time the father questions, the young idealist insists that God will provide.

Later, the mother asks, "How did it go, Honey?"

The father answers, "He has no job and no plans, but the good news is he thinks I'm God."

God, I'm not trying to rule the roost.
I don't want to be king of the
mountain.  I haven't meddled
where I have no business
or fantasized grandiose
plans.  I've kept my
feet on the ground,
I've cultivated a
quiet heart.  Like
a baby content
in its mother's
arms, my soul
is a baby
content.
Wait, Israel,
for God.  Wait
with hope.
Hope now;
hope
always!
Psalm 131
The Message
