Today's Message:
*************************
"I can do all things through Christ who
strengthens me." Phil. 4:13
One day Sister Teresa told her superiors, " I have
three pennies and a dream from God to build an orphanage."
"Sister Teresa," her superiors said, "You cannot build
an orphanage with three pennies. With three pennies you
can't do anything."
"I know," she replied, "but with God AND three pennies,
I can do anything."
When God gives us a task, he also will give us the
resources to perform that task. It just doesn't always
seem that way at the time. In the natural we might
look in our purse and see only three pennies and
become discouraged saying, "Well, I can't do what
God wants me to do, I don't have the resources."
But think for a moment about what you are saying.
The one who gave you the task is the Creator of the
Universe. He owns the cattle on the thousand hills.
He also owns the Hills and all the gold under the
hills.
Do you believe God to be a pauper? Do you think he
really doesn't have the ability to bring to pass what
he has commanded you to do? Do you believe God to be
a tyrant? Do you think he will command you to do some
thing, but then not provide you the materials with
which to work? Is that the sort of God we serve?
Of course it isn't. If God gives you the task, he
will also give you the wherewithal to complete the
task. What we have to do is trust him and begin
working on what he has for us to do.
Lord, remind me today that you will provide me with
every thing I need to fulfill your will in my life. Amen.
