Trusting God for Daily Supply
Matt
6:31-33
{31}
Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we
drink?
or,
Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
{32} For after
all these things do the Gentiles seek:
for your
heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.
{33} But seek ye
first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness;
and all these
things shall be added unto you.

Dear Friends in
Christ,
Are the words of Scripture just so many
words? or are they really promises of a Loving God Who is really there? Are His
promises trustworthy and worthy of entering into during the crises of our lives,
or just so many empty platitudes?
When one is down and out and there is no
food and no money for rent and no one seems to be there to care or to be able to
offer a helping hand, does God know your needs?, does He care?, can He supply my
needs and those of my family? These are issues millions of people in all parts
of the world must deal with every day. You may be dealing with them right now.
There is an old saying, that says:
If you give a man a fish you feed him for
a day;
But if you teach a man to fish you feed
him for a lifetime.
The verses of this devotional are here to
teach us how to fish, as it were. You must mix these verses with faith, and make
them real in your experience. We must learn to stop whining and complaining that
we dont have this or we dont have that, or be envious of the person up the
street because they have more than we have. We have a God of infinite
resources who loves us with an infinite love and cares for is in our every
circumstance. We just need to humble ourselves before Him ,and call on His
infinite mercy for our needs (and not our luxuries, by the way), and believe
that He hears and will supply. And when He does supply, dont forget to thank Him
and tells others of His Goodness and Kindness.
God Bless you as your ponder these
things.
In Christ..brother

(Mat
6:7-11 KJV)
But when ye pray, use not
vain repetitions, as the heathen do:
for they think that they
shall be heard for their much speaking.
{8} Be not ye therefore
like unto them:
for your Father knoweth
what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.
{9} After this manner
therefore pray ye:
Our Father which art in
heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
{10} Thy kingdom
come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
{11} Give us this day our
daily bread.....
(Mat 4:4 KJV)
But he
answered and said,
It is written,
Man shall not live by bread alone,
but by every
word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
(Psa 37:23-28 KJV)
The steps
of a good man are ordered by the LORD:
and he
delighteth in his way.
{24}
Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down:
for the
LORD upholdeth him with his hand.
{25} I
have been young, and now am old;
yet have I
not seen the righteous forsaken,
nor his
seed begging bread.
{26} He is ever
merciful, and lendeth; and his seed is blessed.
{27} Depart from
evil, and do good; and dwell for evermore.
{28} For
the LORD loveth judgment, and forsaketh not his saints;
they are
preserved for ever:
but the seed of
the wicked shall be cut off.
(Heb 4:1-2
KJV)
Let us
therefore fear,
lest, a
promise being left us of entering into his rest,
any of you
should seem to come short of it.
{2} For
unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them:
but the word
preached did not profit them,
not being
mixed with faith in them that heard it.
(Luke 1:49-53 KJV)
For he that is
mighty hath done to me great things;
and holy is his
name.
{50} And
his mercy is on them that fear him from generation to
generation.
{51} He
hath showed strength with his arm;
he hath
scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.
{52} He
hath put down the mighty from their seats,
and
exalted them of low degree.
{53} He hath
filled the hungry with good things;
and the rich he
hath sent empty away.
(Mat 6:24-34 KJV)
No man can
serve two masters:
for either
he will hate the one, and love the other;
or else he
will hold to the one, and despise the other.
Ye cannot serve
God and mammon.
{25} Therefore I
say unto you, Take no thought for your life,
what ye shall
eat, or what ye shall drink;
nor yet for your
body, what ye shall put on.
Is not the
life more than meat, and the body than raiment?
{26}
Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather
into barns;
yet your
heavenly Father feedeth them.
Are ye not much
better than they?
{27} Which of
you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?
{28} And why
take ye thought for raiment?
Consider the
lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they
spin:
{29} And
yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one
of these.
{30} Wherefore,
if God so clothe the grass of the field,
which to day is,
and to morrow is cast into the oven,
shall he
not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith
{31}
Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we
drink?
or,
Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
{32} (For after
all these things do the Gentiles seek:)
for your
heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.
{33} But seek ye
first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness;
and all these
things shall be added unto you.
{34} Take
therefore no thought for the morrow:
for the morrow
shall take thought for the things of itself.
Sufficient unto
the day is the evil thereof.
(James 4:1-10 KJV)
From
whence come wars and fightings among you?
come they not
hence, even of your lusts that war in your members?
{2} Ye
lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain:
ye fight and
war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not.
{3} Ye ask, and
receive not, because ye ask amiss,
that ye may
consume it upon your lusts.
{4} Ye
adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is
enmity with God?
whosoever
therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.
{5} Do ye think
that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to
envy?
{6} But he
giveth more grace.
Wherefore
he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the
humble.
{7} Submit
yourselves therefore to God.
Resist the
devil, and he will flee from you.
{8} Draw
nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you.
Cleanse
your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double
minded.
{9} Be
afflicted, and mourn, and weep:
let your
laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness.
{10}
Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord,
and he shall
lift you up.
(1 Tim 6:6-11 KJV)
But godliness
with contentment is great gain.
{7} For we
brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.
{8} And having
food and raiment let us be therewith content.
{9} But they
that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare,
and into many
foolish and hurtful lusts,
which drown men
in destruction and perdition.
{10} For the
love of money is the root of all evil:
which
while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith,
and pierced
themselves through with many sorrows.
{11} But thou, O
man of God, flee these things;
and follow after
righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.
(Deu 8:1-14 KJV)
All the
commandments which I command thee this day shall ye observe to
do,
that ye
may live, and multiply, and go in and possess the land which the LORD sware unto
your fathers.
{2} And
thou shalt remember all the way which the LORD thy God led thee these forty
years in the wilderness,
to humble
thee, and to prove thee,
to know
what was in thine heart, whether thou wouldest keep his commandments, or no.
{3} And he
humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger,
and fed
thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know;
that he might
make thee know that man doth not live by bread only,
but by
every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the LORD doth man live.
{4} Thy raiment
waxed not old upon thee, neither did thy foot swell, these forty
years.
{5} Thou
shalt also consider in thine heart,
that, as a
man chasteneth his son, so the LORD thy God chasteneth
thee.
{6}
Therefore thou shalt keep the commandments of the LORD thy God,
to walk in his
ways, and to fear him.
{7} For the LORD
thy God bringeth thee into a good land,
a land of brooks
of water, of fountains and depths that spring out of valleys and hills;
{8} A land of
wheat, and barley, and vines, and fig trees, and pomegranates;
a land of oil
olive, and honey;
{9} A land
wherein thou shalt eat bread without scarceness,
thou shalt
not lack any thing in it;
a land whose
stones are iron, and out of whose hills thou mayest dig brass.
{10} When thou
hast eaten and art full,
then thou shalt
bless the LORD thy God for the good land which he hath given thee.
{11} Beware that
thou forget not the LORD thy God,
in not keeping
his commandments, and his judgments,
and his
statutes, which I command thee this day:
{12} Lest when
thou hast eaten and art full,
and hast
built goodly houses, and dwelt therein;
{13} And when
thy herds and thy flocks multiply,
and thy silver
and thy gold is multiplied,
and all that
thou hast is multiplied;
{14} Then thine
heart be lifted up, and thou forget the LORD thy God,
which brought
thee forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of
bondage;
(Phil 4:11-13 KJV)
Not that I speak
in respect of want: for I have learned,
in
whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content.
{12} I know both
how to be abased, and I know how to abound:
every
where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry,
both to abound
and to suffer need.
{13} I can do
all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.
(Psa 33:18-22 KJV)
Behold,
the eye of the LORD is upon them that fear him,
upon them
that hope in his mercy;
{19} To deliver
their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine.
{20} Our soul
waiteth for the LORD:
he is our
help and our shield.
{21} For our
heart shall rejoice in him,
because we have
trusted in his holy name.
{22} Let
thy mercy, O LORD, be upon us,
according as we
hope in thee.
(2 Chr 7:13-14 KJV)
If I shut
up heaven that there be no rain,
or if I command
the locusts to devour the land,
or if I send
pestilence among my people;
{14} If my
people, which are called by my name,
shall humble
themselves, and pray, and seek my face,
and turn from
their wicked ways;
then will
I hear from heaven,
and will forgive
their sin,
and will heal
their land.
(Mal 3:8-12 KJV)
Will a man
rob God? Yet ye have robbed me.
But ye
say, Wherein have we robbed thee?
In tithes
and offerings.
{9}
Ye are cursed with a curse:
for
ye have robbed me, even this whole nation.
{10} Bring
ye all the tithes into the storehouse,
that there
may be meat in mine house,
and prove
me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts,
if I will
not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing,
that there
shall not be room enough to receive it.
{11} And I
will rebuke the devourer for your sakes,
and he
shall not destroy the fruits of your ground;
neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in
the field, saith the LORD of hosts.
{12}
And all nations shall call you blessed:
for ye
shall be a delightsome land, saith the LORD of
hosts.
(Phil 4:19-20 KJV)
But my God shall
supply all your need
according to his
riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
{20} Now unto
God and our Father be glory for ever and ever.
Amen.
