--GOD'S FAITHFULNESS ~~

'My God will use His wonderful
riches in Christ Jesus to give
you everything you need.'
--(Philippians 4:19)-

~~~God's faithfulness has never depended on the faithfulness of his children. He is faithful even when we aren't. When we lack courage, he doesn't. He has made a history out of using people in spite of people.

Need an example? The feeding of the five thousand. It's the only miracle, aside from those of the final week, recorded in all four Gospels. Why did all four writers think it worth repeating?...Perhaps they wanted to show how God doesn't give up even when His people do.

When the disciples didn't pray, Jesus prayed. When the disciples didn't see God, Jesus sought God. When the disciples were weak, Jesus was strong. When the disciples had no faith, Jesus had abundant faith.

I simply think God is greater than our weakness. In fact, I think it is our weakness that reveals how great God truly is....

-God is faithful even when his children are not. "Jesus is the Friend that will never leave you and sticks closer than a brother." ~

---IN THE STORM~~

---After Jesus’ disciples fought a raging storm for nine cold hours, at about 4:00 AM the unspeakable happened. They spotted someone coming on the water. “A ghost!” they said, crying out in terror. (Matthew 14:26 MSG). They didn’t expect Jesus to come to them this way.

Neither do we. We expect him to come in the form of peaceful hymns on Easter Sundays or quiet retreats. We expect to find Jesus in morning devotionals and meditations.

We never expect to see him in a divorce or a foreclosure. We never expect to see him in a storm. But it’s in a storm that he does his finest work, for it is in storms that he has our keenest attention.

-Jesus replied to the disciples’ fear with an invitation worthy of inscription on every church cornerstone and residential archway, “Don’t be afraid,” he said. “Take courage. I am here!” (Matthew 17:27).
--JESUS IS THE OPEN DOOR TO ALL PEOPLE! COME TO HIM TODAY! "You are loved with an everlasting love and underneath are His everlasting arms." ~~

---CREDIT WHERE DUE ~~~

--"Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment."
--(1 TIMOTHY 6:17= NIV)--

---The Bible warns us that wealth is deceptive. To be deceived is to believe something to be true that in reality is not true. Wealth will cause you to believe things to be true about yourself that are not true. It will make you think you earned it. But the Bible very clearly says that God is the One who gives us the ability to accumulate wealth—that all of the gold and silver belongs to Him and that your blessings are a result of God’s involvement in your life.

-I cannot tell you how many people have come to me and said, “Pastor, I hear what you’re saying, but I’ve worked hard. I went to school and got a good education. I got up earlier and stayed up later. I’ve invested wisely. I’ve taken greater risks.” I believe that all of those factors contribute to your ability to do well. But the reality is that you can do all of those things and still struggle to accumulate wealth. Work hard, certainly, but then ask God to bless your efforts and thank Him for His provision.

**THINK ABOUT IT
-Do you tend to claim credit for your material blessings, or do you thank God, privately and publicly, for His provision?

--**PRAYER
-"Heavenly Father, I put all of my trust in You, and I rejoice in Your provision for my life. May Your truth become more precious to me than the things of this world. Guide me in the path of righteousness and deliver me from evil. In Jesus’ name, amen."

**Blessings,
