YOUR RESOURCES

“He giveth more grace when the burdens grow greater.

He sendeth more strength when the labors increase;

To added affliction, He addeth His mercy;

To multiplied trials, His multiplied peace.

 

When we have exhausted our store of endurance;

When our strength has failed ere the day is half done,

When we reach the end of our hoarded resources,

Our Father’s full giving is only begun.

 

His love has no limit, His grace has no measure,

His power no boundary, known unto men;

For out of His infinite riches in Jesus

He giveth and giveth and giveth again.”

Since you have been born into the family of God, you now have access to all His resources (Ps.84:11; Eph. 3:8,16; Phil. 4;19.) “For all things are yours; whether Paul or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are yours; and ye are Christ’s; and Christ is God’s” (1 Cor. 3:21-23.) Your needs, whatever they may be, will be supplied from and inexhaustible storehouse if you trust God for them. You have a right to all the spiritual food which God has provided for the spiritual growth of His children (1 Pet. 2:2; 2 Pet 1:3). Do not allow anyone to deprive you of it.

         In this life you will experience only the foretaste of the riches God has in store for you. For in the ages to come He will “show the exceeding riches of his grace in kindness, toward us in Christ Jesus.” (Eph. 2:7) You must never forget that you are now a child of God, a member of His family, and that you can look to Him to supply your every need.
