Hi Everyone,
I pray that this letter finds you in health and prospering even as your souls are prospering.
John was saying "Yes it is great to prosper and be healthy in the natural" but what about our spiritual health?
Friends, we are living in what the bible calls "Perilous Times".. There is trouble on every side, but we are supposed to
be "HID" in Christ!! He is our HOPE, He is our LIFE, He is our Provider, and He is the Lifter of our head! Greater is He who
is in you than he who is in the world, and we need to start living like there is a God who knows us all by name, and who
cares for us, and every detail of our lives.
Years ago, the Lord spoke a word to me that I have tried to live by ever since..
He said "If you take care of my business, I'll take care of yours"...
That was at a time of my life where I had made Jesus "Lord" of my life, but not lord of my time. I was so
busy taking care of my family and all that I didn't think to allow Jesus to take care of us.. I had forgotten
my first love.
I was so busy taking care of the retirement fund, the nice house, nice clothes, yet I had not learned that
"The lillies of the field spin not, they toil not, they are here today, and gone tomorrow, yet Solomon in all
his splendor was not arrayed as one of them!" I had not learned that if I would just seek Jesus, and acknowledge
Him in ALL my ways, He would direct my path.
Friends, our loving father KNOWS everything we have need of before we know it. As we seek Him and His ways,
He will take care of the things we have need of.
The bible in Matthew 6:30 tells us "Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? Vs 33 goes on to say "But seek ye first the kingom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you." ... What were "all these things"?? They are EVERYTHING you have need of at ALL times!
The bible in Psalm 91: 9-10 tells us "Because thou hast made the Lord, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation; There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling." It goes on to say "For He shall give His angels charge over thee to keep thee in all thy ways". What a promise from the Living God!
Morrow of the story: God loves you my friends, and He WILL take care of you, even in turbulent times like we live in today.
Have a BLESSED day, and Hang in there.. Jesus loves you!
