Today's Word of Blessing

GOD, OUR ETERNAL HELPEvangeline Paul Dhinakaran

And my God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus.     (Philippians 4:19)

Dearly beloved, the Bible says, “'For I am the LORD, your God, who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you. Do not be afraid, O worm Jacob, O little Israel, for I myself will help you,' declares the LORD, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel” (Isaiah 41:13,14).

As mentioned in the above Scripture verses, the Lord is your eternal help. So you need not depend on any human being.

There lived an elderly lady who was always filled with the Holy Spirit. So she would praise God all the time and was very happy in the Lord.

She would always pray to God for all her needs, and the Lord also heard her prayers and supplied all her needs every day. So she would keep on telling her neighbours that her Lord has supplied all her needs. She would tell the same to everyone in the street. This irritated her neighbours.

Two mischievous children near her house wanted to teach her a lesson. One day, they heard her praying for God to supply her breakfast. These two boys climbed on to the roof of her house and dropped a loaf of bread and some meat through the chimney.

When the old lady opened her eyes after the prayer, she was thrilled to see the loaf of bread and the meat. She began to tell everyone that the Lord gave her the loaf and the meat. The two mischievous children heard her saying so. So they told her, “Granny, the Lord has not supplied your breakfast. We only dropped the loaf and the meat through the chimney.” Immediately, the old lady started praising God saying, “Lord, I praise You for supplying my breakfast through these little devils.”

Dearly beloved, this is how the Lord supplied the needs of that old lady every day. She too depended on the Lord completely placing all her trust upon Him. Probably you too may have many needs in your life today. When you too cling on to God just like this old lady, He will supply all your needs.

The Bible says, “And my God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:19). God is our Provider. Trust in His divine provision and depend on Him for your needs. He will bless you abundantly. You will lack nothing in life.

Prayer:

Loving Lord Jesus,

You are my eternal help. You are my Provider. I trust in your divine provision. I depend on You for my needs. Please listen to my request and bless me abundantly. Supply all my needs every day. May I lack nothing in life. I give You all the glory.

I ask this through Christ our Lord

Amen.
