Philippians
4:19 – “But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ
Jesus.”
We cherish receiving
the answers to prayers and it is even more glorious when our desires and very
thoughts seem to materialize instantly or without much delay. Lately I have been experiencing the wonderful
provision of our God in ways that have been quite delightful and intriguing. I thought about a new coffee maker and walked
into a store and found the very one I wanted on sale. I desired for some new furnishings and within
a week’s time all the pieces I needed to revamp my bedroom came from different
sources but matched together as if they were sold as a unit. I imagined new revenue sources and found out
that I had a teaching assignment that came through in a pinch.
It isn’t
good luck or serendipity or fate. It is
the provision of our God. I didn’t spend time on my knees begging or pleading
for God to help or supply. I simply thought about what I wanted and when the timing
was right God had the universe to supply my need. Somethings right away, other things within a
time frame that still made it spectacular.
He told me that
everything I would ever need to fulfill my mission on earth was available at my
disposal, so why can’t we also imagine that the ‘extra stuff’ that makes life
more livable isn’t also waiting in the wings for us to just trust that it is
there and that God wants us to have it.
Think some
good thoughts today and watch as God delights in bringing joy to his children;
and as he supplies be sure to thank and testify.
Every
day is a good day; it is up to us to make it a victoriously GREAT day!
Be blessed! Dr. JoAnn
