God Provides!
Hebrews 8:10 (New Living Translation)
But this is the new covenant I will make
with the people of Israel on that day, says the Lord:
I will put my laws in their minds,
and I will write them on their hearts.
I will be their God,
and they will be my people.
Do you believe God provides for the needs of His people? I have witnessed it in my own life and in the lives of others for many years. Situations that cannot be accounted to anyone except by the Hand of God! People being obedient to the leading of the Holy Spirit and then miracles begin to happen. I have also experienced times when myself or others would refuse because of pride. But what I have also learned that God, of course has to use people as His source and when we are not obedient then no one is blessed. For example a dear friend of mine was aware of a need I had, when she called me to tell me what was laid on their hearts, my first thought was, no, there will be a way. But my next thought was, but THIS is the way! God had provided a way for my need to be met! Thank you Jesus! If I had refused, there would be no blessing for them or me, and more importantly for God Himself. Because every good thing comes from Him! He gets all the glory for it is due Him. We are nothing without Him and we can't do anything lasting and meaningful without Him! I am so humbled and so thankful that words are inadequate. So my dear friend, Thank you for being obedient but most of all Thank you and that other special fella for living a life that shows others what true Christianity really is. A life lived devoted to sharing the Gospel. That old saying that we who are Christians, are the only Jesus some people ever see, really is true.
So all this to say, when you feel God laying something on your heart, pray and pursue. Find out if it is truly from Him, and get ready. Whether you are giving or receiving, the domino effect has begun! And remember, since God fed nearly three million Israelites in the wilderness every single day for 40 years, we can be sure and confident that God will provide for us too. He is our God, and we are His people!
Have a wonderful rest of the week! Remember who you are in Christ!
In Him ALL things are possible!
Lessons for Living!
Psalm 119:33 (The Message)
33-40 God, teach me lessons for living
so I can stay the course.
Give me insight so I can do what you tell me—
my whole life one long, obedient response.
Guide me down the road of your commandments;
I love traveling this freeway!
Give me a bent for your words of wisdom,
and not for piling up loot.
Divert my eyes from toys and trinkets,
invigorate me on the pilgrim way.
Affirm your promises to me—
promises made to all who fear you.
Deflect the harsh words of my critics—
but what you say is always so good.
See how hungry I am for your counsel;
preserve my life through your righteous ways!
If we are really serious about our relationship with God, then this should be our daily prayer. In this scripture this is truly our lesson for living a Christian life. I hear so many "formulas" for the way we should live and what it comes down to is just being obedient. And if we know what the Word of God tells us, then we know what we have to do. It is not about rules and regulations, but simple truths in love. Please read the scripture again and make this a prayer from your heart. Since it is so complete, my post will be short this week! Thank you for stopping by and leaving your sweet comments!
Be blessed this week and check out Spiritual Sundays. (the link follows)

These are the desires of my heart! I am always so thrilled with the Word of God!What a wonderful passage of scripture! God is so good to us and His Word proves it over and over again. We should read this and apply it to our hearts, then our focus will be directed in the right path. It describes exactly what we need and how we can get off the path if we are not careful in prayer. Blessings to you sweet friend, I am praying this will be a revelation to you as it is to me!
