"And my God will
meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus."
Philippians 4:19
Can I just ask you
this....If you belong to Him, I mean if you KNOW that you KNOW that you KNOW
that you belong to Him, then why do you worry? (I f I need to wikipedia the
word "worry" I can do that)
When I became a Child of
the King, I became an heir to all that this implies. Joint-heirs with Jesus.
And guys, it's not "pie in the sky" stuff...it's here and now stuff.
It's not, "some glad morning, when this life is over, I'll fly away"
stuff....it's December 21, 2011 stuff.
God is on the Throne. God
is my father. God created the heavens and the earth. He owns it ALL, and
because I am His child, it's all mine as well. You don't have to believe that,
but your unbelief doesn't nullify fact.
We sing that Jesus could
have called ten thousand angels. Same is true for us.
Do you think my Father
wants me to worry about my future? In fact, did He not instruct us NOT to
worry? I have a feeling that the devil would love to occupy our time working
out solutions to all the coming woes of this civilization - as long as he keeps
us from proclaiming Christ.
It is a natural thing for
mankind to be concerned about his physical needs....and here's a clue....the
word "NATURAL."
We are no longer of this
world. We are IN this world, but not of this world. The "natural" is
not our nature anymore.
We were never intended to
live with our concern being focused on the physical...however, we have
been conditioned by society to put physical needs first....It is up to US to
change the way we think about this thing...it won't happen automatically.
We are 1/3 physical and
2/3 spiritual. We are not bodies with a spirit. We are Spirits wearing physical
suits in order to live in a foreign environment.
I'm here to hold out
HOPE. And when I say HOPE, I don't mean something you can "wish" for
- I mean something God has promised. This is the Hope He gives....that if we
are IN Him, we do not have to fear the future. Period. He owns it all, and He
is going to take care of His children.
So....the message is not
"the sky is falling!" (sorry to those who don't know the gloom and
doom of Chicken Little) "hurry up and take cover"....the message is:
He WILL supply all our needs according to HIS riches.
Now, why would I doubt
this? Why would you?
We live in a high stress
world - but we don't have to buy the lie. My Father owns the cattle on 1000
hills...He owns the hills...He CREATED the hills. Me worry? Nah.
The true URGENCY...the
thing the devil doesn't want us to see...is the need to share the message of
Christ to a world who does not know Him. Because in the long run guys....that
is all that will ever really matter.
