God promises to supply our needs.
Unfortunately, our wants get muddled in with our needs, so that when
blessings come or continue, we don’t recognize them.
I’ve been underemployed for over 4 years now. For a woman like me, this can be debilitating-ly
depressing. Fortunately, as a child of
God, I have been able to recognize how God has blessed me in providing my needs
so much during this time that I can’t really complain! God has allowed my children to continue their
Christian education by attending Adventist Boarding Academy and Adventist
Universities, He blessed me with the opportunity to live my dream of music
ministry—including my first CD, He gave me the impetus to work on becoming
physically fit, He honored me by sending someone who loves me for me, and He
blessed me from the beginning with a supportive, accepting and loving family. I
could share so much more, but it would take pages and pages!!
You have to recognize that God WILL take care of your needs and have
the FAITH to endure what’s in front of you. Most of the time, there is no way to know how
things will work out—and at some point, you will have to be okay with that!!! You will also need to pay attention to what is
really going on. Sometimes, we spend so
much time agonizing over our circumstances that we miss out on what God is
already doing. Sure, I could focus on the hurtful, disappointing and tragic
things that I’ve experienced over the years, but what would that do? It would keep you bitter, making it difficult
to be happy with ANYTHING; it would make you gun-shy, removing any ability to
move forward; it would eliminate your ability to see the blessings that God is
giving you, even in the midst; and it would surely take away some blessings
that if you had opened your eyes, you would’ve seen were right in front of
you!!
See the blessings in front of you—they might not be in your wants
category, but they will probably be in your needs category!! God WILL supply ALL your needs, according to
HIS riches in glory!!
ONWARD!!
