Our needs are met everyday, but we have become oblivious to Who God is and how Wonderful He is, for protection, provision, and deliverance. While many of us sit at home in a panic state, pick up your Bible and reconnect with the Father who is able to sustain you in all of the turmoil and fear going on!
You will NEVER be in lack or want to those who believe. He fed Elijah in a cave via a raven and he drank water from a brook.
I Kings 17:3-6 AMPC 3 Go from here and turn east and hide yourself by the brook Cherith, east of the Jordan.4 You shall drink of the brook, and I have commanded the ravens to feed you there.5 So he did according to the word of the Lord; he went and dwelt by the brook Cherith, east of the Jordan.6 And the ravens brought him bread and flesh in the morning and bread and flesh in the evening, and he drank of the brook.
He provided Manna and Quail for the Israelites in the wilderness for forty years. (Exodus 16:11-30 AMPC) He blessed a widow and her son through Elijah, who had a handful of flour and a little olive oil. When Elijah was commanded by God to got to Zarephath in the region of Sidon and stay there, He told him there will be a widow to feed you. However, the widow was on her last meal and was gathering sticks to prepare the food for her and her son. She said:
"As surely as the Lord your God lives, she replied, "I don't have any bread - only a handful of flour in a jar and a little olive oil in a jug. I am gathering a few sticks to take home and make a meal for myself and my son, that we may eat it - and die". (I Kings 17:12 AMPC)
Then Elijah said:
I Kings 17:12 AMPC13 Elijah said to her, Fear not; go and do as you have said. But make me a little cake of [it] first and bring it to me, and afterward prepare some for yourself and your son.
14 For thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: The jar of meal shall not waste away or the bottle of oil fail until the day that the Lord sends rain on the earth.
He fed five thousand men in in a desolate place with two fish and five loaves of bread (Matthew 14:13-21, Mark 6:30-44) and four thousand men with seven loaves of bread and a few small fish (Mark 8:1-21) not to mention the women and children present. There is nothing too big or too small for God to do. His love and power is not limited to just stories in the Bible. God is the same then as He is now. The difference is our “unbelief”!
Satan is relentless, but his power is NO match for God. The joy of the Lord is our strength against the onset of Satan and gives us peace in the midst of a storm.
This is my prayer to all who are in a state of panic and fear:
God Thank you that your Word says “You will never leave us nor forsake us”! Thank you that we can call on you “anytime” in our hour of need and you will answer! Thank you for this time alone to read the Bible and become not just a son or daughter of Christ, but a friend who sticks closer than a brother! Father forgive us who have doubts and fears, whereas, perfect love cast out fear, and you are perfect, who loves us perfectly! In quiet time with you will strengthen us and give us hope in a hopeless world that relies on others instead of You! We Thank you that you are a faithful, just and loving God, who keeps His promise and will be with us through the end of time. In Jesus name we pray! Amen! We Love You Jesus!
Take time to pray! Take time to listen in your quiet time to God. Take time to Thank God for who He is and how wonderful He is! And remember God Loves You!
I John 4:18 AMPC 18 There is no fear in love [dread does not exist], but full-grown (complete, perfect) love turns fear out of doors and expels every trace of terror! For fear brings with it the thought of punishment, and [so] he who is afraid has not reached the full maturity of love [is not yet grown into love’s complete perfection].
