Trust The Giver
“Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning.” James 1:17
F.B. Meyer once said, “The education of our faith is incomplete until we learn that God’s providence works through loss…that there’s a ministry to us through the failure and fading of things. The dwindling brook where Elijah sat is a picture of our lives. ‘Sometime later the brook dried up’ (1 Kings 17:7) is the history of our yesterdays and a prophecy of our tomorrows…learn the difference between trusting in the gift and trusting in the Giver. The gift may last for a season but the Giver is eternal. If the Lord had led Elijah directly to the widow at Zarephath, he’d have missed something that helped make him a better man – living by faith. Whenever our earthly resources dry up it’s so we may learn that our hope and help are in God.”
Remember, if it’s the Lord’s will, then, it’s the Lord’s bill!
Even though we are living in this “economy”, if you are a saint of God then you’re in His economy and in His economy, the resources are not limited.
Let’s therefore, keep our focus on the GIVER, instead of the gifts! Selah.
“And my God will supply all your needs according to His glorious riches in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:19
