Did you ever have someone ask you what you would do if your were in a particular situation that may be difficult? I have often thought, “If I was in their position, what would I say?” One day while watching the news I can remember one of my favorite news reporters being interviewed. The interviewer asked him “If you had to give words of advice relative to this situation what would you say?” His humble face showed that he did not have the answer in that present moment but then he did say, “The Lord would provide.” Basically he was saying that if he did not have the answer but if he had to have an answer to that question, he would know exactly what to say when that moment came. He knew God would put the words in his mouth to speak.
This man’s words just refreshed my heart and reminded me that this is how life is to be lived. Many times things can look so complicated. Sometimes it seems we can fear making decisions. We may be afraid that we are not going to have the answers that we need. Yet if we trust Him to provide in the exact moment of need THE LORD WILL PROVIDE.
Today we are looking at the scripture from Philippians 4:19
” But my God shall abundantly supply all your
need according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.”
” But my God shall abundantly supply all your
need according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.”
Let us be reminded that this is not just talking about material needs although God desires to provide for us in that realm. I am thankful that in times of needing to know what to do or say that God is well able to provide us with what we need. Next time you need to say or do something in your time of feeling helpless, believe that He can open His hand and give you exactly what you need for that moment in time. He is well able to fill your mind and mouth with the answers that you need. God is good.
