And my God will meet all your
needs according to His glorious
riches in Christ Jesus.
(Philippians 4:19)
We sometimes like to think that we are in control of our lives, but in reality we know that we have absolutely have no control at all. The only one that is in control is God. Sometimes we try to meet our own needs and we try to work hard and make money, but that will only take us so far. Many people fall into a trap with money and they never seem to have enough no matter how much they obtain.
We all stress out over money and paying the endless stream of bills that seem to come to us. Sometimes we get so focused on material things that we forget about the important things of life. The Lord should be the main focus of our lives. We are told in Scripture by Jesus Himself that we ought to love the Lord our God with all of our heart, mind, body, and soul. We are also commanded to love our neighbor as ourselves.
We overlook those commands quite often I am afraid. How many people give one thought about God through the course of a day? We try to I am sure, but sometimes we get distracted with the things of this world.
We need the Lord in a great way in this Nation and in our own individual lives. The Lord will provide for us. Do we believe Him? He is our provider after all. He loves us and He cares for us.
We must learn to trust Him more. That goes for me as well. I need to learn that the Lord will provide for all of my true needs. The Lord is trustworthy and He is faithful. He will provide us with everything we need in order to accomplish His will for our lives.
Wherever you find yourself and whatever the circumstance just now that the Lord is near you and His working things out for you in His timing and for your ultimate good.
Lord,
We thank you for being a good loving God.
Thank You for meeting all of our needs.
We surrender ourselves to You O Lord.
Lead us and guide us by Your Holy Spirit.
In Jesus Name we pray,
Amen.
