I have been enjoying watching a couple of episodes of a building show on Youtube. The brothers who are builders make videos of their everyday house building.
By last night I decided I am tired of watching them work so hard. One of the brothers even had a catastrophic equipment accident last year when his hand got into a machine that cut off his fingers! I looked at my husband while watching last night’s episode and told him how much I realized how hard he worked when he did construction. And how I knew those brothers understood that they wouldn’t be able to work so very hard all their lives. Building houses is not an easy business.
Oh beloved, what we see on the surface of people’s lives isn’t all that there is. Overnight success is really hard work in disguise. It’s good to admire someone, but don’t get envious of their life. God is giving you everything you need for life and godliness. It’s a good reminder this morning to be grateful and thankful for everything you have. And to be prayerful about whatever you need.
God loves you and He wants to change your life. He will supply all your needs according to His riches in Christ Jesus. So ask Him, thank Him and expect Him to care for you as you focus on His goodness, mercy and grace over you!
Philippians 4:19 And my God will supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus.
Matthew 6:32 For the Gentiles strive after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them.
Psalm 84:11 For the LORD God is a sun and shield; The LORD will give grace and glory; No good thing will He withhold From those who walk uprightly.
