Our Needs and God's Supply!!!

There is a verse in the Bible that I believe is on of the most practical we will ever encounter. Every single one of us faces needs. Sometimes those needs are beyond our own means. But, those are not the times to become anxious or to panic. And we should not give up in defeat as I am sure some of us do. It is at these times that God wants to draw from His unlimited storehouse to meet our needs as only He can. Our job is to trust in Him to meet our needs!

"And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:19

Do we believe God can meet the needs of our finances? Our health? Our children? Our parents? Our church? Scripture says we will never face a need for which God's provision is not more than adequate. And this promise appears over and over again in the Bible. We only need to read and lean upon God's Word, God's promises! If we are not experiencing God's bountiful provision, what is the problem? Is the difficulty with God? Could it be that we really do not believe that God stands ready to meet our every need?

Friends, the promise of God is that every resource of God is available to any child of God who will believe Him! No one has ever exhausted God's supply nor suffered a shortfall when trusting Him. That is the key: TRUST!!! Unfortunately, some of us Christians live as if God's abundant resources were not available to us. We are children of the King, but we live like beggars. The question is: Would the people close to us affirm that our life gives evidence of an unwavering belief that God will do what He said? Only you can answer that question! How are you meeting your needs today?

May God Richly Bless You Today!! H Trent!

Thinking About Calling Down Fire!?!

James and John were refered to as "the Sons of Thunder" in the Bible. When they discovered a Samaritan village that would not receive Jesus, they were fully prepared to call down fire to consume the entire community. "And when His disciples James and John saw this, they said, "Lord, do You want us to command fire to come down from heaven and consume them, just as Elijah did?" Luke 9:54. Maybe they felt that through such a show of power, the gospel message might be enhanced. The two brothers were willing to sacrifice the lives of the village in order to further the cause of the gospel. However, Jesus rebuked them! Later, the apostles heard that Samaria had responded to the gospel. Guess who was commissioned to go and help them receive the Holy Spirit? None other but Peter and John! It was God's purpose that the people not be destroyed but saved! God chose not to rain down fire on the village, but to shower it with His Holy Spirit! I wonder what w...

Restoration From Our Shepherd!!!

These are very trying times we live in today. Things are happening around us so fast that it is sometimes difficult to know where to go or where to turn. We can easily become stressed and weary of doing the same old grind, day after day, uncertain about what is lying just around the next corner. Well, our Shepherd knows!! He knows our every need, our every hurt, our every pain. He knows that we will grow weary in our pilgrimage with Him as well. He knows that there are times when we need to rest. Our Shepherd also knows what we need to be refreshed. At times, we do need to lie in lush meadows or beside quiet streams. Sometimes we need to be held by our Shepherd. At other times we need to enjoy the pleasures the Shepherd provides. And, our Shepherd will not always replenish us the same way; His response to us will always correspond to our present need, if we will ask Him. "He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness for His name's sake." Psal...

Our Risen Lord!!!

I have often heard a thought spoken out loud that sometimes troubles me. "If only I could have walked with Jesus, as the disciples did, it would be so much easier to live the Christian life." I would like to say that when someone thinks or speaks like this, it reveals that we do not comprehend the greatness of the risen Christ we serve today! We need to be reminded, we are walking with Jesus, the Risen Christ, who is now in all of His glory! The Jesus of the Gospels is often portrayed as One who walked along the seashore, loving children and gently forgiving sinners. The Jesus we serve today, is on high, in full majesty! "His head and hair were white like wool, as white as snow, and His eyes were like a flame of fire; His feet were like fine brass, as if refined in a furnace, and His voice as the sound of many waters." Revelation 1:14-15 This Jesus we see at the close of the New Testament is far more dramatic than the Jesus we know before His crucifixion. Here He st...
