Lack of Anything

Lack of anything – February 6, 2011

God loves men so much that He doesn’t want us to have lack of anything. Deuteronomy 8:9
God took the Israelites out of a place of “not enough”.
In Egypt they: were slaves, had no power, were forced to depend on Pharaoh for everything.
But God wants to be free. If necessary, God will send animals to feed us. I King 17:4-6.
God provided for the Israelite what they needed for each day; no more nor less. Numbers 11.
God wants us to trust in Him, to depend on Him. We have to learn to trust in God who is our provider.
When we have “a lot”, we have a tendency to trust in what we have and not in the one who has given us what we have.
“Just enough” gives us a tenacity to keep moving towards better things.
He brought them (the Israelites) to the land of “more than enough”, to the abundance.
Jesus said: “I came so that you have abundant live”. John 10:10
If you aren’t living abundant life, if your life isn’t full of joy, peace … you need to know that God’s goal is to give you everything you need – The only thing needed is to trust in Jesus.
In Matthew 6:33 Jesus said:”_ Seek first His Kingdom and His righteousness, and all this things will be given to you as well.
We have to believe that God will give us what we need if we trust in Him. This is called faith.
Let’s go back to 17:9-16. A widow should be fed by someone, not to feed someone, but that was what God asked her to do…
There was no hope for her, but death… but when she trusted, her life was changed.
What about your life today???
Psalms 4:8
