Hopefully the last 40 Days have been a blessing to you as you have learned new ways of studying God's word. It has been for me, and this week I would like to share some of the encouragements I've had and the lessons I've learned.
During the "Pronounce It" week, I was particularly helped by this verse from Philippians:
" My God will meet all your needs according to His glorious riches." Philippians 4:19
I was reminded that no matter how big a situation I found myself in, no matter how much it felt like I couldn't escape the things that were dragging me down, I had a promise that those needs would be met. Not just physically, but mentally and spiritually too. Even though I may not have what I felt I physically needed, God had promised that He would meet me and my needs, and not just basically but richly – abundantly, and beyond what I could imagine.
One physical way I saw this lived out was in our Micah project. As a small group we hosted a breakfast morning with the aim of purchasing 30 bibles for Messy Church. We anticipated a certain number of people coming along, bought food accordingly, and prayed for God's blessing on the event. We were a little anxious when we only had half the number of people we'd anticipated coming along. BUT God's glorious riches were there in abundance. We raised almost exactly the right amount of money required to buy the 30 bibles! And those riches were then passed on to the families of Messy Church who were each blessed with a bible as a gift from the church. God's blessing was doubled. Praise the Lord!
Whatever your need is, significant or insignificant, be sure of God's promise to you, and trust that He will meet all your needs. It's a promise!
