Unseen and unheard!
Verse for Today: Saturday, November 17,

Joshua 24:13 – So I gave you a land on which you did not
toil and cities you did not build; and you live in them and eat from vineyards
and olive groves that you did not plant.
The goodness of God is beyond measure and expectations. He
gives to His children in a way that is far superior to what any other source
would give. When He gives, He doesn’t expect anything in return except a
grateful heart from us. He acts in such an unprecedented speed for His children
to enjoy His favors. He prepares all that His children need at the right time.
When Prophet Elijah was hungry, his meals were ready at the right time. It
included the kind of menu that would be cherished by anyone in the land. When
the banquet hall at Cana was short of wine, it was made available by the Lord
Jesus at the right quantity and quality with the best of taste, to the amazement
of all the guests. A small measure of bread was enough for Him to feed
thousands of people to their satisfaction. He provided ready made food for the
Israelites for forty long years in the most difficult place like a desert. He
produced the best drinking water for two million people and their cattle at the
split second. God’s children had readied farm land, cities and houses to dwell
in and sweetest grapes and nourishing olive fruit to eat. All of these
provisions show us the great heart of concern and care that God has for His
children. God’s provisions often take His children by surprise because they are
far beyond expectation and often above reason and logic because it emanates from
God’s heart full of love and concern for His children. These provisions are
beyond what any eyes have seen or ears have heard. Today He meets our daily
physical, emotional and spiritual needs far beyond measure or expectation.
Dear reader, are you walking along with the Lord with the
expectation that He will meet all your needs? You will not be disappointed in
any way because what He gives will be beyond your expectations. Perhaps what He
gives may not be what you expect and sometimes you will feel frustrated that
you are not given what you desired. But eventually you will learn great lessons
about the heart of God with which He gives you His best at His best time. Along
with that, He gives you patience, maturity, joy and faith to keep trusting Him
for what He will give you. God has best interest in our affairs and He will
meet it all in the best possible manner. He uses the seemingly insignificant agents
to supply your needs. He sends your food through a raven and employs a few
servants to serve the best of wine. His instrument for getting water out of a
rock is a wooden staff and not a sharp metallic instrument. A simple sharp
stone from the field is sufficient for Him to bring down the tallest and most
powerful soldier who tries to devour you. He uses a fish to teach you great
lessons in your life of faith and obedience. Even the most basic cereals will
make His children stronger than their contemporaries who eat the best of the
royal gourmet. Yes, our God is the great supplier of our needs in the most
unimaginable manner to meet our every need provided we are willing to put our
faith in His capacity and willingness to give us. This God is with you today to
meet all your needs if only you are willing to take the risk of believing on
Him and put all your faith and trust in Him.
1 Corinthians 2:9 – No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no
mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love Him.
Thought for Today
God’s provisions are a measure
of His heart full of concern and care for His children.
