SUPPLIER

Have you thanked Him?

Have you praised Him?

Have you made it your priority to agree and cooperate with Him today?

Have you taken that deep breath and listened for what He has for you today?

ARE YOU SEEKING?

1 Timothy 2:1 (The Message)

1-3The first thing I want you to do is pray. Pray every way you know how, for everyone you know.

It was a long day on the road yesterday.  I am convinced that the country stretched yesterday and they moved Florida to just above Australia on the global map.

But the time in the car gave me some time to think.

Last Monday night we had more than 10 new faces come to FREEDOM. Now granted, they were familiar faces, but they were new to our fellowship.  Each one had a “different” challenge, each one had a “need”; a unique need for which they were seeking provision.

One needed a job.  Another needed direction for the “next thing”. Another needed treatment.

Truth is, from God's perspective, being in “need” can be spiritually beneficial. We “need” to start to understand that.

Tom Thompson my dear friend from the REFUGE says that we when we are “done”; have come to that place of need and have decided to stop, that is when GOD can start.  However, our pride often keeps us from seeing that. 

We need to take a page from Paul when we are in “need”.

For Paul understood that in his “need” GOD had what He “needed”.

2 Corinthians 12:10

That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

Sometimes it takes the bottom falling out for us to remember that GOD is a GOD who promised to provide.

Philippians 4:19

Amplified Bible (AMP)

19 And my God will liberally supply ([a]fill to the full) your every need according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus.

Trouble is we are a worrisome lot.  We are quick to panic when life gets a little out of frame or our path gets a little rocky.  We forget that GOD has our best interest at heart 24/7 365!

Matthew 6:30-33

…don't you think he'll attend to you, take pride in you, do his best for you? …Steep your life in God-reality, God-initiative, God-provisions. Don't worry about missing out. You'll find all your everyday human concerns will be met.

Maybe you are facing a “big” need today? Maybe the bottom just fell out.

Maybe it is a new need or that pesky reoccurring need.  Whatever then need, give this a try.  Take GOD at His word with the need.  He promised He would fill it right?  Don’t worry about the “how” or the “process”.

Today see your need as GOD is inviting you to trust Him and His Word with it.

I love you all.

Have a blessed day.
