"Give thanks to our Lord and King, for His love endures forever"
How many people believe that? I mean how many people REALLY REALLY believe that?
"But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well." (Matthew 6:33)
How many people believe that? I mean how many people REALLY REALLY believe that?
I don't know, some people may say "I do" but do you realize how faithful He is to His promise?
Matthew 6:33 is referring to how people worry "What to wear, what to eat, and what to drink" and Jesus said seek God's kingdom first, then you won't have to worry about it.
Some may think, well... if He would give us all these things, why aren't all Christians filthy rich?
Let's face it, Jesus promised to give our basic needs. What people don't realize is He has given SO MUCH more than that.
You think I'm lying? I hope not. Let me take one by one.
How long have you been breathing? All your life right? To survive, you just need breathe every 30 seconds. It'll be painful, but ya know what? That's the bare minimum.
I like water a lot. I mean, I drink water like 10 bottles a day. You know what? You only need to be hydrated every 3 days to survive. Bare minimum. Painful, yes. Will you be alive? Yes.
I like eating, I mean I enjoy it. Have you ever thought how much food you really need? With water, about 45 days. Without water, probably around 3 days. Painful, as I said, yes. Still that's the bare minimum.
Seriously, is it not God's love?
God gives what is just enough? No No No, He gives MORE than what is just enough.
I can just sit here and do nothing but what's bare minimum and die, but guess what? God has plans, ok everybody get this, He has PLANS for EVERYBODY. If it doesn't make you go WHOA.... you are not me...
Ok, enough cheesy stuff. In Bible, God said 7 times that He will not forsake us (Deuteranomy 31:6, 8, Joshua 1:5, 1 Kings 8:57, Psalm 9:10; 94:14, Hebrew 13:5). Once is great enough, but 7? I don't know if it's coincident, but 7 is perfect number. I mean 7 is perfect number in Bible. He made Sabbath the 7th day for one thing, then He made Joshua circle around Jericho for 7 days and 7 time in 7th day. (Joshua 6:10-16 and check out all the sevens, yo). Is that all? No, Matthew 18:21-22. Not just 7 times, but 77 times. Hope no one's been counting to forgive only 7 times, because what 7 meant perfection, meaning forgive for everything.
Sorry I got off track, I get excited over number seven. So far God kept His promise. Heck, if He kept it for last.... only God knows how long, why won't He in future?
