DEVOTION: "Elijah said to her 'Don't be afraid. Go home and do as I have said' ..... She went away and did as Elijah had told her. SO there was food every day for Elijah and for the woman and her family. For the jar of flour was not used up and the jug of oil did not run dry, in keeping with the word of the Lord spoken by Elijah." 1 Kings 17:15-16
This true story was written down for us to remind us that our lives our completely in God's hands. I don't know how many times I have doubted that God could do something only to watch Him do it every time. When all hope was lost, when there wasn't "enough", when we all but give up, God always seems to come through.
Truth is God ALWAYS keeps His Word, and His Word was that He would never leave us or forsake us, that he will always be with us, that He will give us what we need when we need it and that the Holy Spirit will fill our hearts and minds till the day of His return.
Still, I find myself getting frightened by the uncertainty of this life. I find myself doubting God's power. I really need to stop that! We ALL need to stop that. God can do anything! He can even save us from our sins and give us eternal life.
What else can he do? He can grow this church! He can give us the ability and the means to provide for what He wants to do inthis church through us, namely to provide for the spiritual welfare of our children! To build a building that will give honor and glory to Him and be used for His purposes. To call a trained minister of the Word to minister to children and youth, a DCE, so that we use every opportunity to make sure our children grow up in His WORD.
THE LORD ALWAYS PROVIDES!! ALWAYS HAS and ALWAYS WILL!
Pray to the Lord of the earth to provide the means to you to do what He wants you to do with and in His church, St John's!
Let us pray: Lord God you have given us the task of raising children up in Your Word. Give us the means, the ability, and the will to do it. We KNOW that You will. Amen.
