- Philippians 4:19
When we come to trust Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior we can trust Him to meet our needs throughout our walk with Him. The Lord knows what we truly need and He will meet those needs. The Lord might not grant us what we want or desire however. He isn't our genie who bends to our will. The Lord is our God. He is our Creator and Maker. He is God. We are His creation and we are to submit to His will and His calling.
The Lord is our provider. He will enable us and provide those things and skills we need to accomplish His will and His plan for our lives for His ultimate glory. We may not always get those things that we think we need. Those things we think we need may not be good for us or maybe the timing isn't right. We can be assured that the Lord will do what is right and in His timing. The Lord knows the beginning to the very end. He knows what it will take for you and I to grow Spiritually and what will hinder our growth.
We need to continue to study God's Word, the Bible, and we need to submit to the lead of the Holy Spirit. We need to be anchored in the truth of who God is and the truth of his Holy Word. We must prayerfully seek God and discern what it is He is calling us to do with our lives. We need to make sure it lines up with Scripture so we can be certain we are truly hearing from the Lord for He will never go against His Word.
I am thankful that the Lord is always with us even when things in life look bad or get scary. Sometimes we face fearful events that test our faith and trust in Him. We must remember that God is faithful and trustworthy. We can count on our God to give us strength and comfort during the trials that we all go through eventually.
A few weeks ago my mother had a operation to remove a small growth and it turned out to be Non- Hodgkin's Lymphoma, low grade. She had x-rays following that and she had her doctors appointment today. The results were very good. There are no other signs of cancer. Her blood work is fine, her lungs are clear, no other growths, and she feels fine. Praise the Lord!
Sometimes the Lord brings healing to our loved ones here while they are on the earth and sometimes that healing won't take place until their feet reach that Heavenly city where they will be with Jesus for all eternity. We believers in Christ Jesus have a wonderful living hope and we have the promise that the Lord will provide for our genuine needs.
Sometimes it may seem really hard for us to see the Lord's provision, but we must continue to walk and live by faith in Him. We must continue trusting that the Lord will work things out in our lives for His Glory and His purpose.
If you are struggling to see God's provision for your life I would encourage you to continue to seek the Lord in prayer and ask Him to help you see His work in your life.
Lord,
Help us to see Your provision for our lives when life seems hard.
You are God and we are not.
Lead us and guide us by Your Holy Spirit.
Thank You Lord Jesus for providing for us each and every day.
In Jesus Name I pray,
Amen.
