Inexhaustible supply line!
Verse
for Today: Tuesday, January 21, 2014
Philippians
4:19 - And my God will supply all your needs according to His
riches in glory in Christ Jesus.
Human
needs are so vast and varied that it is well nigh impossible for the world to
satisfy it all. There are millions in this world whose basic needs like food,
clothing and shelter are not met. Man also has needs in the emotional, social
and spiritual realms of life which also remain largely unmet and unattended to.
Scientific inventions and knowledge explosion have only enhanced the vastness
of the needs, but have not even suggested ways to meet it. But God comes to the
scene to tell man that if he is willing to submit his life to God, He will see
to it that every need will be met according to His riches in glory through
Jesus Christ. There is absolute assurance that our spiritual and emotional
needs will be fully met by God. Social needs are met more qualitatively when
more and more people accept God’s answer to social problems and inequalities.
Physical needs will also be met when people are willing to share what they have
with the have-nots. But what God gives to His children each day is the
contentment in their hearts with what they have. When we trust God to meet our
needs and start minding His business, He will in turn fill our hearts with
faith to believe that we will enjoy a fulfilled life. When Abraham was called
out of his own country to an unknown and unseen place, he had such assurance
from God that he will be looked after by God. Apostle Paul tasted His
providence and so he could boldly tell others what his God would do for them if
they trust Him. God meets the needs of all His children at all times according
to the measure of His riches which no human beings can estimate or match. Our
God owns the cattle of a thousand hills and all the gold in the gold mines of
this universe. He is the creator and owner of the trillions of galaxies in
this universe. His Heavenly riches are even greater. All these riches are made
available to His children through Jesus Christ. None else can excel God
in giving.
Dear
friend, are you a needy person knocking at the doors of this world for your
sustenance? Do you have unmet physical, emotional, social and spiritual needs?
Do you ever doubt that your vast needs can’t be met by anyone adequately?
Remember, your God is so big and His resources are so vast that any of your
needs will be met by Him without any difficulty. But you must bear in mind
the truth that He has not promised wants or luxuries to you. He is
concerned about needs and will not deprive you of your basic needs. He has
promised to meet your daily needs as you trust Him for all your tomorrows. He
will meet your emotional needs through the outpouring of His love in your heart
through His Spirit. Your social needs will be met as you keep company with God’s
children. Your spiritual needs will be met through God’s Word and His Spirit
through the infilling. But we must live by faith in His capacity to give from
His sufficiency to meet all your needs. We do not need to look to the hills and
fields of the world to feed us, but to the Father in Heaven who
has enough to give to us. His supply lines will leave no room for us to doubt
or become anxious about our future. We are fortunate people to have such a
benevolent Father who is so rich and has so much concern for us and our
affairs? He will never leave us as orphans and wayward children.
Psalms
23:1 - The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want.
Thought
