Author James Montgomery Boice once told this story about a French lady who was taught to put Bible promises in a box when she was young. Whenever she felt down or discouraged, her month would tell her to take out one of the promises, read it and let the Scripture verse encourage and cheer her up. It was a very difficult time during the Second World War and at a time when she was feeling terribly discouraged, she rememebered this little box with Bible promises. She searched for the box and when she found it, she began to pray, "Oh Jesus, if only I could just find one verse in this box that would cheer me up and lift my spirits!" As she prayed, she tripped and fell, spilling all the verses out onto the floor. At that point, God spoke to her and said, "My daughter, there is not just one promise for you - all the promises of God are for you!"
That's the truth: God's provision is extraordinary, and His resources of grace and riches are abundant. If you grasp this amazing truth, it will assure and anchor you firmly at all times in His abundant grace, enabling you to live the extraordinary life in every circumstance.
In Philippians 4:19, Paul declares, "And my God will meet all your needs according to His glorious riches in Christ Jesus." And Paul was in prison when he wrote this letter to the church at Philippi. He is indeed a God of 'More than Enough" - our Jehovah Jireh, our provider.
I pray tt we will all hunger n taste of His goodness. Amen.
