Message
Over the past few days, I have discussed how God cannot be hindered by opposition, circumstances, or time. I will continue this serieg today by discussing how He rules in the affairs of men and cannot be hindered by resources,
Psalm 24:1 says,"The earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein." There is ho need that is too great for God, the One who made the earth and its fullness, to meet. The world's richest man today only has a fraction of the earth's resources. Also, the combined wealth of the world's richest people is only a drop in the ocean compared to the vast riches that God has put on earth. In Mark 6:35-44, when a multitude gathered before Jesus and the disciples were worried about how to feed them, He asked them to search if they could find some loaves of bread, but all they found was a little boy's meal. I am sure the disciples must have thought that Jesus would laugh when they brought it to Him, but He took that little meal and multiplied it to feed over 5,000 people. When you give your little resources to the Lord, He will ensure that you have more than you need.
In 2 Kings 4:42-44, a man brought some foodstuff to Elisha that would have lasted him for a couple of days or weeks. However, Elisha was not alone; he had 100 other men, sons of the prophets, with him. When he asked his servant to serve the men, the servant wondered how such a small quantity of food would be enough. However, when the word of the Unlimited God came, that little food fed 100 men, and there were leftovers. When the word of the Lord comes upon the little you have, it will be more than enough.
In today's memory verse, God said that silver and gold belong to Him. Likewise, in today's Bible reading, He said that the beasts of the field and the cattle upon a thousand hills are His. God has unlimited resources, and one way to enjoy them is to live a life of thanksgiving. When you appreciate God for everything He has done, He will do much more. It is the will of God that you give thanks inall things(1 Thessalonians 5:18).
Beloved, make giving thanks to your heavenly Fathel your lifestyle. There is no limit to what God can supply when you give Him thanks in all things.
