Today I want to share from Andrew Womack's daily devotional!
God Takes Pleasure In Meeting Our Needs
Matthew 7:11, 'If ye then, being evil, know how to give good
gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven
give good things to them that ask him?'
What kind of parent would ever deny their children, the
necessities of life? If you have children would you fail to feed them? Or provide
for them? Or if they ask you for food would you give them poison instead? Of,
course not. This is the point Jesus is making.
God is love (1 John 4:8)! And His love for us is infinitely
greater than any loving relationship here on earth. We can apply this truth
about God's love for us to any command or example we find in God's Word where
His standards for relationship are revealed. Be assured that He will much more
than meet those standards Himself.
This gives us confidence that, in the same way we respond in
love to our children and to those who are in need, our God, who is love, will
also respond to us. God is a faithful God, and He will always give us the
things that we need.
Today, let the Lord be magnified in your life as Psalm 35:27
says, 'Let the LORD be magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his
servant.' It pleases God to minister to you. Let God have pleasure today by
meeting your needs. You have not, because you ask not (James 4:2). God wants
you to ask so that you can receive (John 16:24). Believe God. He gets pleasure
when you ask Him.
AMEN! Let's determine to bring real joy to our Heavenly Father by believing and receiving ALL that He has for us! Here is Hillsong with "I Give You My Hallelujah!":
Shalom in Him!
