Philippians 4:19 (NKJV) 19 And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
Have we ever wondered why sometimes we don’t get what we ask for or what we need?
Sometimes we don’t get all our needs met because we don’t have the faith and trust we need in God to let Him handle it. We feel like we have to take care of it and then, if we can’t handle it ourselves, we have no other option but to let Him try.
That’s not faith. That’s just us saying “God, I have no other way, I’m stuck and I need You to try now”.
That “NOW” is the problem we have. That “NOW” will get us in deeper trouble and can hurt us if we wait too long. It’s that very “NOW” that God wants us to learn to get away from.
We think we have to try to give it our all before we hand it over to God. But it’s not about how long we can stick it out, trying to do it on our own. It’s really about how quickly we turn it over to God and let Him guide us through it.
Many of us tend to make the mistake of thinking that handing it over to Him means simply sitting back and letting Him do everything. But that’s not always true. Most times He will still require us to do something.
The difference, though, is that the things we will be doing will be Spirit-led, not based on our emotions or our intellect.
Not getting all our needs met is not God’s fault. It’s ours. The “NOW” mark is throwing us off and keeping us from getting the help we need in the timing we need it.
Let God meet our needs today. Ask Him for help. And listen to Him as He guides our steps.
It doesn’t mean He will always give us a clear-cut answer right away. But the process will begin as we trust Him with it and we pray, watch, listen and obey.
Don’t wait so long before bringing Him onboard. Amen.
