‘My God shall supply all my needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.’- Philippians 4:19

 ‘My God shall supply all my needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.’ (Philippians 4:19)


Some people take this promise to an extreme and assume that they can do anything they like without thought. It seems like that type of promise where you can depend on God to provide no matter what you do ...or do not do.

This is not a promise to allow you to do nothing and just be lazy and not take responsibility for your life. No this is a promise that God will provide what you need no matter what the circumstances, no matter how dire things may get. You still need to do your part, plan your life, work hard at what you do and of course keep the faith. This is a partnership that you have to play your part too.

"My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever." - Psalm 73:26

"My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever." - Psalm 73:26


So much promise in one sentence.
Our own efforts are never enough
So we depend on God's strength
And God has promised this

Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you Hebrews 13:5

"Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you"
(Hebrews 13:5).

Such a powerful and wonderful promise. No other place can you find this promise.
Even in your deepest troubles and your darkest moments, you can always fall back on this promise to be assured that God will always be with you, although thing do not seem to be how you want them to be. Each circumstance is neither good or bad. It is just something we have to go through because of decisions that have been made, of actions that have been taken, of paths we have taken. We just have to have faith that God will see us through what ever lies ahead.

Blessing in not having to build an Ark...

It has been raining for almost 3 days non stop here and the thought did cross my mind that it may be prudent to start building an ark like Noah!

On the way to my old house, it was pouring down and mum said that she prayed for the rain to stop by the time we got to our destination. In my moment of lack of faith, I was thinking, it's been raining for so many days already, it's not going to stop. Foolish me, sure enough by the time we reached our destination, the sun shone brightly and as if the tap was turned off.

Keeping in mind God's promise that the flood on that scale would not happen again, I felt re-assured that when ever things look bleak, there's always that promise to keep me going. The sun will eventually shine and everything will work out.

Now thats a thought to share....
