take You at Your Word

Philippians 4:6

Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.

let us not stop giving thanks to Him who has provided, and will provide, out of His glorious riches, because it is He who gives the increase, who multiplies our 5 loaves and 2 fishes, with 12 basketfuls left over.

and my God will meet all your needs according to His glorious riches in Christ Jesus.

Amen. :)

1 Kings 19

1 Kings 19

- v4 But he himself went a day’s journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a broom tree. And he prayed that he might die, and said, “It is enough! Now, LORD, take my life, for I am no better than my fathers!”

- v5-7 Then as he lay and slept under a broom tree, suddenly an angel touched him, and said to him, “Arise and eat.” Then he looked, and there by his head was a cake baked on coals, and a jar of water. So he ate and drank, and lay down again. And the angel of the LORD came back the second time, and touched him, and said, “Arise and eat, because the journey is too great for you.”

1 Kings 18

1 Kings 18

- v21 And Elijah came to all the people, and said, “How long will you falter between two opinions? If the LORD is God, follow Him; but if Baal, follow him.” But the people answered him not a word.

From today's devotional

Isaiah 54:1
1“Sing, O barren, you who have not borne! Break forth into singing, and cry aloud, you who have not laboured with child!

To start rejoicing and (with a receiving heart) start envisioning the breakthroughs coming. Old man dream dreams, young man sees visions. Daddy God's heart desires is for us to simply enjoy basking in His love, seeking first His righteousness - which is keeping the love, peace and joy on the inside, and walk along with our inside filled up. And all that we ask, shall be added onto us. 

Jesus is the vine and we are the branches, pruned and well-taken care of, as long as we abide and stay in the vine. In time to come, our branches will sprout beautiful green leaves, fruits and scented flowers, where birds perched on, chirping cheerfully!  

1 Kings 17

1 Kings 17

- v24 Then the woman said to Elijah, “Now by this I know that you are a man of God, and that the word of the LORD in your mouth is the truth.”

--------------
The widow (the woman in this story) saw the unlimited flour and oil that provided for herself and her family during the severe drought, but that wasn't enough for her to believe.

But when her son died, and was resurrected by Elijah, only then she believed.

Sometimes, I believe we don't have to wait until something really dramatic happens to know that God saves. How much better it is to live life already believing that God is there for you, so that when challenges occur, you are well-grounded with the faith to see it through differently from the rest who don't believe.
