El Roi- The God Who Sees Me

God even keeps a running inventory on the little sparrows. – Luke 12:6

Hagar thought she was unloved and alone, ready to die – until God spoke up. Hmm!

No doubt about it, it is a big, big world! Over 9 billion people and counting. And on top of that all the issues that come with life, all it’s pressures, problems, and indignities. It can often become overwhelming to the point we think no one cares, no one sees the ‘real me’ and no one understands where I am, what I need. But God tells us often how ‘precious’ we are to Him. And if He does a daily count on sparrows you have to believe and trust He knows exactly where you are and what you’re into or facing. And He stands ready to lend a hand, give strength, encouragement, and victory. All is needed is an invitation by us.

Until tomorrow…

God: Still Meeting Needs

God has a solution ‘planned’ before we even know we have a problem. – Anon

The angel Gabriel told Daniel answers to his prayers were given as soon as he began to pray. God didn’t have to think things over. WOW!

In mass production companies one of the ways to keeping costs low is just-in-time inventory management. This means parts arrive at the plant at just the proper time to go into production. Money is not tied up in inventory lying around waiting to be used. The key is to have ample suppliers in case of problems with one supplier. God has been to tomorrow and knows what lies ahead for us. He’s perfectly prepared to meet all our needs and circumstances without surprise. But often what God has ‘planned’ for us is interrupted by us. Our stubbornness, disobedience, and lack of faith often get in the way of His plans. We don’t change them we just often delay them; for no plan of God’s can be thwarted. The key is to make sure we stay in touch with The Master – this will reduce problems and increase blessings.

Until tomorrow……
