You were still a taxi driver when you got a new salary. Your lunch is two-piece chicken plus extra rice. But now, go back to the MRT queue, carrying your bag of rice and leftovers from home. Then someone will come by with takeout, and you’ll think: That was me two weeks ago. Wait, when was that, huh? Why does it seem so long?
For most, the salary received is never enough. It seems like the money just passes through your hands because of the number of bills that have to be dealt with. On the rare occasion that there are leftovers, you’re just thinking that you’re going to treat yourself because you “deserve it!”. Less well, there’s a possibility that no matter what you do, what’s in your bag for holding provisions doesn’t really suitable.
It’s tiring if it’s like this week after week, month after month, year after year. And what if you don’t get promoted or find a better job? Will scarcity be with you forever?
When we look at God’s word, we know we don’t need to worry. As the Apostle Paul wrote to the Philippians, God will provide all our needs.
Not “what else we need.”
Everything.
And even if everyone in the world asks God at the same time, we still shouldn’t worry because He never runs out of supplies for our needs. God will meet the needs of those who call upon Him through His Son Jesus. So with Jesus, you will not be in danger.
LET’S PRAY
Lord, thank you for promising to provide for my needs. You hold my present and future. You will never leave me or forsake me.
APPLICATION
Think back to a time when you had a financial problem that you prayed for and had a solution to at the right time. Thank God and trust that if He did it before, He will do it again every time you need His help again.
