Day 196
Currently, I see many prayer needs regarding money coming from many different places. You know someone who is going on a mission trip, one of your favorite camps is trying to purchase back the deed to the camp's property, a young family has just moved down from Boston and is in need, you are in need, your children are in need. You feel the weight of it. It pushes down, down and down and it makes it hard to look up.
You wonder where all the resources are going to come from?
Day 196
Currently, I see many prayer needs regarding money coming from many different places. You know someone who is going on a mission trip, one of your favorite camps is trying to purchase back the deed to the camp's property, a young family has just moved down from Boston and is in need, you are in need, your children are in need. You feel the weight of it. It pushes down, down and down and it makes it hard to look up.You wonder where all the resources are going to come from?
Hey,You! Hey, Me! What are we doing? These needs no longer have the power to pull us down. Yes, they have the ability but not the power. What is the answer? Jesus is the answer. He is the solution. He is the resource. He owns the entire world, every single piece of property that has been, that is, that ever will be, He owns everything! His death and resurrection broke the power of death over us and gave us new life. So where is this pressure coming from? Is it Phantom pain? Phantom pressure?
The pressure is coming from a lack of understanding and therefore a lack of faith. It is never about a lack of resources, NEVER. When do you think He lacks resources? Last night when you were sleeping, do you think HE ran out? He never does but we do happen to be connected to the story writer of all story writers who writes in such a way as to increase our faith. We must see things for what they really are! Honestly, our shortsightedness is killing our faith and our faith is essential to walking with Jesus. Jesus has the resources, He is the resource.
God tells us this in Philippians, "And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:19. We also should not look at what others are doing with their money and consequently think what they should be doing with their money. Leave that in God's care. He doesn't need their money. They do not have a big chunk of the unlimited supply! God has all the resources in Jesus Christ. He is your answer, always. Trust in Him.
