Another Thought For Today

I shared my thoughts of the weekend and wanted to share another post about some other thoughts today. I am reminded that the closer Ben and I come to Christ, the more difficult life becomes. I feel we are constantly under attack and at trial in our daily walk. I woke up this morning feeling like the weight of the world is on us. Gerus and Galen, my stepson's need much prayer this week. We are going through a legal matter with their mother and the home is unstable and our battle seems uphill, trying to get them in a Christian environment. It seems the same goes for our struggle with our daughter Sarah and convincing her to go with us to VA. My work is overloading me more and more daily and there is no choice but to keep on going with "business as usual." I sometimes feel like I need to just hit my knees and not stop praying. Always out of the blue I am reminded that God is almighty! When I was in basic training I told myself everyday on my 2 mile run that "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me" Philippians 4:13.

My new verse today is: My God supplies all of my need according to His riches in glory by Christ JESUS (Phil.4:19)

In my readings tonight Phil. 4:19 spoke to me and helped me to understand that he is all I need and is the answer to all my prayers.

This assuring promise discloses the resources God made available to His people in answer to prayer. In the clear light of this certified promise they have no justifiable excuse for spiritual poverty.
We can think of God’s promise to be a certified check made payable to us the moment we present it for payment. No matter what gracious spiritual and temporal blessings the promise contains, we cannot receive them until we make our requests known unto God in prayer. It is possible to have sufficiency in all things by claiming the riches of God made available to us by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving. When Paul said, “My God shall supply all your need,” he is saying, “Christ is all you need.” We are enriched in all things pertaining to life in time and in eternity when we possess Him. Christ is all we ever need to cope with the difficulties and dangers confronting us in the path leading to the Father’s house of many mansions.
