Oh...to have the wisdom of the Lord...is such a beautiful thing! That is my desire today Lord.....to come to know you in a more intimate way than ever before! This morning has been so sweet....I have enjoyed my time with my Lord and Savior.....had quality prayer time with my babies and am about to begin a wonderful morning of Homeschooling ;-) In my quiet time with the Lord today....I studied Matthew 6. So many things come to my mind when I read this awesome book of the Bible~
.................Treasures in Heaven 19"Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. 20But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. 21For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
22"The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are good, your whole body will be full of light. 23But if your eyes are bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light within you is darkness, how great is that darkness!
24"No one can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money.
Do Not Worry 25"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? 26Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? 27Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?
28"And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. 29Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 30If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? 31So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' 32For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 34Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
While reading this passage in the Bible...the fact that God tells us that he will supply all of our needs is very important! In Matthew we read that he makes sure the birds eat and have shelter in their nests.......we are far more important to Him.....this brings to my mind Philippians 4:19 And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
I have found in my journey, walk and relationship with Jesus Christ that not one of my families needs have ever gone without being met! If you don't have it and can't afford to get it then we need to seriously consider that it just might be a want.....! God has made a promise in His word that He will meet all of our NEEDS.....yes I said NEEDS NOT WANTS! Oh now don't get me wrong...the Lord also loves to bless us with those things that we WANT sometimes too......but when we become heavenly minded our wants and needs become better defined....and become in line with the Word of God.....
Thank you Lord for your many gifts....I praise you for who you are....;-)
For most of last year my family went through an extremely financially difficult year. I clung to this very promise, and know it is so true. We were blessed BEYOND measure. We were cared for by HIM in AMAZING ways...and never once went without our needs being met. All the glory can go to HIM. HE provided, and brought us through. So encouraging... and I am so thankful for HIS provision!!
