Need-based blessings!
Verse for Today: Wednesday, February 13, 2013
Genesis 2:18 – The Lord God
said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable
for him.”
God who knows our situation and
circumstances with all our needs comes to meet the needs according to His
wisdom at His time. He knew the needs of Adam, the first man, and provided a
helper suitable for him at the right time. The helper God created for man was
most suitable for his physical and emotional needs. God recognizes those who
are lonely and without companionship and fellowship, and provides help to meet
those needs. God’s help comes in our physical, emotional, social, financial and
spiritual realms. God has the right provisions to meet specific needs in each
of our situations. When God gives, it is according to His status and dignity.
He gives abundantly to satisfy our every need according to His measure. God’s
gifts provide contentment so that we would not need to go world’s sources. God
is abundant in resources and all these resources are available to His children.
He would not want His children to be destitute. He wants to fill their lives
with hope and expectation and lead them to enjoy all that He has given them in
full measure. God will not give us what is not good for us. His giving always
ends up in glorifying His name as we receive and enjoy His goodness. But God
expects us to recognize Him as our sole giver of all that we have. Thus we will
be challenged to use all that He gives us for His glory and honor and for the extension
of His kingdom. As we know Him more, all our anxieties about our future would vanish
into thin air because no good thing will He ever deny us.
Dear friend, are you feeling
deprived of things in life which seem to make your life empty? Is your life a
procession of complaints and dissatisfaction? But it is a fact that your God
knows you with your circumstances very well. He knows what you need and why. He
gives you only what will be spiritually expedient for your life to be built up
in faith and trust in His magnificence. He will not deny you that which is
essential and good for your life. He knows you intimately to understand your
most intimate needs. He gives according to His measure. He will only give what
is best for you which you may not understand well enough to discern and ask. So
in His infinite wisdom, God may not give you all that you ask for, but only
that which will be a blessing to you. You probably will wonder why God allowed
painful experiences in the life of Abraham, Jacob, Joseph, David and Paul. God
gave them what was best for their lives to be built up for Him. In many
instances, God delayed meeting even basic needs like safety, security, food, sleep
and relationships to His choice servants. God’s timing helped build up these
lives up for Him to use them for accomplishing His purposes which were all
fully evident in the later years of their lives. Today God wants us to give Him
topmost priority in our lives. In God’s economy, our needs will be defined on
the basis of our priorities for Him. When God sees gaps in our lives, He will
come to perform miraculous and magnificent ministries to fill it for us. Of
course, we need to trust Him to be able to sleep in His will and leave the
choices to Him. He will then open our eyes to see what He has prepared for us
which will cause us to praise Him.
Psalms 34:9 – Fear the Lord,
you Hi servants, for those who fear Him lack nothing.
Thought for Today
When we are willing to sleep in God’s perfect will, He will show us His
choices for us.
