JESUS HAS EVERYTHING YOU NEED
24th Jul 2013
Jesus has everything you need, for every situation that presents itself. You need not fear inadequacy because He is always adequate. Paul knew that in his weakness he experienced divine strength, and so can you and I.
Jesus is in you, always with you, compounded, enmeshed in a bond that cannot be broken. He is your wisdom, your understanding, your physical and emotional strength. He has answers for all your need - every detail of your life. He never condemns or turns away. He hurts when you hurt and is sad when wrong choices damage you. Even when you turn away because of your guilt and shame, His heart is longing for restoration - so yet again He can be all you need.
He is your helper, your lover, the One who lifts you up when you are downhearted. He is your never failing help in times of trouble. He wants you to talk to Him, trust and live in the expectation that He will act on behalf of those who call upon Him. He longs for you to open your heart to Him and let Him heal and take away pain, bitterness, disappointment and misunderstanding. He wants you to lay out your life before Him like an open book and give Him access to enable change to take place.
The book of Isaiah tells of Hezekiah’s monumental challenges as his nation, family and personal life were being devastated, but as he lays everything before God, the answer is given to Isaiah in a prophetic word - Isaiah 37:21 says, “Because you prayed to me.... this is the word the Lord has spoken...” In others words - this is what God will do!
Today pour out your heart - be real, and let God go into action for you, with you and in you. He knows everything, all the motives of your heart, and when you let go - He gets going!
