The LORD my God

Hello everyone,

How are you doing on this day? I hope well and bubbling in the Lord. We thank God for His mercies and the fact that He is our God. We have no other God but Him and desire none other beside Him. Deuteronomy 29v5-6 (The Living Bible) says “For forty years God has led you through the wilderness, yet your clothes haven’t become old, and your shoes haven’t worn out! The reason He hasn’t let you settle down to grow grain for bread or grapes for wine and strong drink is so that you would realize that it is the Lord your God who has been caring for you.” The Amplified version of verse 6 says “You have not eaten [grain] bread, nor have you drunk wine or strong drink, that you might recognize and know [your dependence on Him Who is saying], I am the Lord your God.”

These verses are very instructive on how God takes care of His own. Imagine wearing a pair of shoes every day for a month. After a while the wear and tear becomes quite evident. But God was able to keep His own for 40 years, without their shoes getting worn out and their clothes becoming old. They didn’t have any grain or wine to drink because God was the One taking care of them.

Likewise, God is the One taking care of us. He is our sustenance. If we quantify all that we consume and need in monetary terms, it likely won’t add up to how much we actually have coming in. God is the One that takes care of us. Matthew 6v33-34 (Classic Amplified Version) says “But seek (aim at and strive after) first of all His kingdom and His righteousness (His way of doing and being right), and then all these things taken together will be given you besides. So do not worry or be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will have worries and anxieties of its own. Sufficient for each day is its own trouble.” God wants us to trust in Him and rely on Him, day by day, moment by moment.

Prayer

Father, we thank You so much for this day. We thank You for Your great love and care for us; for meeting our needs. How wonderful it is to have You as a Father, a Father who loves and takes care of His own. Help us not to worry about things that we need but to always seek Your face, Your Kindgom and Your ways of doing things, knowing You will meet our needs in Jesus name, amen.
