January 19 Devotion - Our Source and Supply

In Him we live and move and have our being, لاننا به نحيا ونتحرك ونوجد.

Acts 17:28

We have a constant and absolute dependence on God and He is continually sustaining us. Our absolute dependence on God is such that we owe to Him the ability to perform even the slightest motion. We owe to Him our continued and prolonged existence.

What is your most pressing need today? Financial, emotional, social, a new direction for your career? Peace with your children? Having a successful marriage? Getting married? Whatever your need, God has an answer. Jesus said:

But first and most importantly seek (aim at, strive after) His kingdom and His righteousness [His way of doing and being right—the attitude and character of God], and all these things will be given to you also. لكن اطلبوا اولا ملكوت الله وبره وهذه كلها تزاد لكم .

Matthew 6:33 AMP

What does God have to do with schools, cars, relationships, money, or investments? Everything. As the Source and Supply of all our needs—material or otherwise—God is the Ultimate Giver. His wisdom, love, and sovereignty work on our behalf, regardless of the complexity, urgency, or practicality of our needs.

When you seek God first, He promises to supply every necessity, just as He does for the birds of the air

Look at the birds of the air; they neither sow [seed] nor reap [the harvest] nor gather [the crops] into barns, and yet your heavenly Father keeps feeding them. Are you not much more valuable than they?

انظروا الى طيور السماء .انها لا تزرع ولا تحصد ولا تجمع الى مخازن .وابوكم السماوي يقوتها .ألستم انتم بالحري افضل منها .

Matthew 6:26

I invite you to repeat the following prayer for yourself:

Abba Father, thank You for loving me with a deep and everlasting love, thank You for Your abundant blessings in my life, and for the riches of Your grace upon my life. Lord God, I thank You that in You I have my being. LORD, I pray that out of Your glorious riches You strengthen me with power through Your Spirit in my inner being, so that I feel confident trust in Your absolute goodness and I can stay focused on Your Kingdom and Your righteousness. God I know that as Your child You will take care of me and remove any anxiety I may have over the future and You will provide all I need in Your time. God I praise You, glorify You, stand in awe of You and lift You up on high. In the name of the King of kings and Lord of lords, in the Holy Name of Jesus I pray to You Father. To Jesus be the power, the glory, the majesty, the blessings, and the dominion forever and ever, Amen.

Jesus loves you,

In Him,
