God Provision.. in our Life

Meditation:
"Give us this day our daily bread." Matthew 6:11

Explanation:

A philosopher once said, "To whom little is not enough, nothing is enough." I know what I want, and I know what you want. I want to have some money in the bank, and I want to have something there so that when tomorrow comes, then I don't have to worry about it. Isn't that what you want? We call that security. Question: Is that really security? Who is more secure the man who has a warehouse full of stale bread that the rats or thieves can get or the man who has a father who is a very, very rich baker?

God wants to surprise and bless you. Just like a surprise in our every day lives from a loved ones causes much delight and joy, making us feel special, God wants to surprise us with His goodness. When we take the time to realize the small surprises that show up in our lives, this will create an attitude of faith and joy. He even wants to take what seems to be a setback or distraction in our lives, and turn it around to bless us; surprising us! The Scripture says in Deuteronomy 28, “If we will keep God first place, if we will walk in His ways, all these blessings will overtake us.”

That means you won’t be able to outrun the good things of God. One translation of the word “overtake” means “to catch by surprise.” Our Heavenly Father wants to be good to us. He wants to amaze us with His goodness. We should get up every morning with the attitude, “I can’t wait to see what God is going to do!” And you may have had some victories in the past, but you haven’t seen anything yet; God is about to super size your dreams and surprise you by accomplishing more than you can ask or think.

Right Wisdom

Meditation:
“Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom” (Proverbs 4:7).

Explanation:
God wants us to know Him better. He wants us to know what to do in every situation. He wants us to have His wisdom so we can live the abundant life He has prepared for us. Wisdom is simply knowing the mind of God about a particular thing. It’s found in the Word of God. Proverbs says that when we reverence and honor the Lord, it opens the door to wisdom in our life. God’s wisdom is not like earthly wisdom. In other words, God’s wisdom won’t always make sense to your natural mind. For instance, the world’s wisdom says in order to increase, keep what you have. God’s wisdom says to give what you have and it shall be given back to you in greater measure. God’s wisdom is supreme. How do you “get” wisdom? First of all, James tells us simply to ask for it. And then open your heart to the Word of God; obey His commands and honor Him. As you are diligent to seek wisdom, you will find it. As you honor the Lord, He will honor you. He’ll pour out His favor on you, and you’ll live in wisdom and blessing all the days of your life.

Meron ba tayong kaalaman na pansarili lang natin, di ba ang kaalaman ay nagbubuhat sa Diyos, kaya humiling tayo sa Kanya upang tayo ay pagkalooban. Sapagkat likas na sa atin na sinusubukan lahat ng bagay bago pa lang tayo lalapit sa Diyos, kung wala na talagang magagawa sa sariling kakayahan. Tama ba ang ganito, di ba mali at kapag ka minsan pa nga kapahamakan tayo nasasadlak. Kaya bakit hindi natin ugaliin na sa Diyos humingi ng kaalaman sa lahat ng ating pangangailangan upang maging tiyak ang ating katagumpayan at tama ang ating mga gagawin sa ating buhay.

Father in heaven, thank You for the privilege to boldly come before Your throne of grace. I humbly ask You for wisdom, for understanding, for Your direction. I receive it all now, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
