He Meets Our Needs

 


Happy Friday before Thanksgiving,

As I was watching the news and how people are stocking up on various products – like toilet paper- I thought about how we can rely on God to supply our needs.  He is a God of abundance.  He never runs out of resources to meet our needs. 
 Philippians 4:18a TPT “I now have all I need –more than enough- I’m abundantly satisfied!...”

He has met my needs and sometimes my wants on more occasions than I can count or probably even remember.  The incomprehensible thing about God is – He knows our needs, often before we even know them.  Sometimes He waits for us to humble ourselves and ask.  Sometimes He supplies our needs without us even realizing we are in need.  I often look back and am in awe how He took care of me. 
 Matthew 6:8 NLT “Don’t be like them, for your Father knows exactly what you need even before you ask him!”

I was recently talking with a friend who is overwhelmed with the number of people she knows with major needs in their lives.  She knows Jesus can help but to her everyone seems to be struggling without much relief.  

If we believe God knows our needs and gives us what is best for us, we can feel assured we are not struggling alone.  Matthew 6:26 NLT “Look at the birds. They don’t plant or harvest or store food in barns, for our heavenly Father feeds them.  And aren’t you far more valuable to Him than they are?”

We must live by faith, not what we see and hear with our carnal senses, but what we know to be true by His word.  Philippians 4:19 NLT “And this same God who takes care of me will supply all your needs from His glorious riches, which have been given to us in Christ Jesus.”

By spending time with God we can know Him and His desires for our life.  We have as much of God as we have faith to believe and receive.  2 Corinthians 5:7 NLT “For we live by believing and not by seeing.”

Be confident in His unlimited abundance.

Be Well, Be Safe

Spiritual Discernment

Image
I have been thinking about discernment lately. The dictionary defines discernment as  “The act or process of exhibiting keen insight and good judgment” With the amount of information that has been given to us the past 2-3 months on the Corona Virus, discernment has been increasingly important.       “Is the virus real?”       “Who is at risk?  Am I at risk?”       “Should we stay home?”  “Is it OK to go grocery shopping?”       “Should we wear masks?”       “Is it all a conspiracy to control us?” All of these questions and concerns have come at us from TV and newspaper, social media and friends.  I have gone from feeling fear to having faith, from extreme concern to throwing caution to the wind, from anxiety to confidence.   All ‘feelings’.  After praying and reading the word, I am able to put those feelings aside and trust the Lord.  This is my guiding scripture:      “Trust in the Lord with all you heart and lean not on you       own understanding.  In

No Fear

As I was reading my Bible today, Psalm 18:1-2 popped out at me.  This is a Psalm of David  that he sang to the Lord after the Lord rescued him from all his enemies and from Saul. He sang: “I love you, Lord; you are my strength. (2)The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my savior; my God is my rock, in whom I find protection.  He is my shield, the power that saves me, and my place of safety.”  This is such a good word of reassurance and encouragement. Have you ever felt afraid and powerless?  Frightened of a situation or for a loved one?  I have.   I have not been fearful for my life by another person, but there have been accidents and illnesses that have caused me to be afraid. There have been times not knowing about the safety of a loved one that has caused anxiety and feelings of impending tragedy.  Sometimes it was warranted and sometimes it was my mind imagining the worst.  My mind can go from OK to the worst case scenario in a matter of seconds!   During those times I need to reme

Advent Week 4 - Love

Image
  Happy Christmas Eve Day,                                                   December 24, 2021 It is hard for me to believe it is Christmas again.   As I sit here looking at my Christmas tree in my new home I truly feel incredibly blessed.   It has been an amazing year for us. As I continue looking at Advent, the fourth week of Advent is the Angel Candle or candle of Love.   As Believers in Jesus, we know the Christmas Celebration is about Jesus and His love for us.   He left His Father to come to earth as a baby born in a humble stable.   We celebrate His birth and later His resurrection because our faith is based on this belief.   It is only because of His love for us that He was willing to live a human life.   Our love for Him acknowledges our acceptance and belief in Jesus as our Savior.   The middle white candle is traditionally lit on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day.   It is the Christ Candle.   It is the Christ Candle because it is only in Christ that we find the Hope, P
