God Provides To The Brim

"..my God will meet all your needs according to His glorious riches in Christ Jesus."
Philippians 4:19

We have to realize and admit our needs to God so that He can bring them to pass(Rev.3:17) according to His affluence. His blessings are always to the brim. He gives abundant wisdom (James 1:5), complete healing (Acts 3:16), extensive comfort (2 Cor. 7:4), voluminous knowledge of God (Isa.11:9) and much more. Let us ask God and be filled to the measure of all His fulness (Eph.3:19).

Helped Till Now. Will Help Forever.

"..Thus far has the Lord helped us."
1 Samuel 7:12

Let us acknowledge and honor God for all that He has done for us. Recollecting and thanking God for all His help to us in the past will boost our hope on Him and cause us to be totally dependant on Him. The Lord who initiated to lend us His helping hand, will help us accomplish everything (Phil.1:6). There is not a thing deficient with God that He cannot help us. He is not a man to abandon us half the way. Let us fully rely on Him and face our future with confidence, strength and courage.

Psalm 27:14

God has already set apart our portion, to grant it to us in His time and in His way. Let us gladly wait for Him, for the end thereof will surely be victorious. Waiting on God is never a waste of time but it is a time for us to qualify, get strengthened, be renewed and get ready to receive God's best for us.

Zecariah 10:1

If we keep urging God for His showers and eagerly await for it, our cup of blessing is surely going to run over. God still wants to giv us and our children a plenty. Let us never quit but keep praying. Let us intensify our union with God, and not fail to see a overwhelming flow of blessing coming on our way.

From Drought To Liveliness

".."Go up..for there is the sound of the roar of a heavy shower."
1 Kings18:41

May be hopelesnes is the reality of these days in our lives, making us feel broken and empty with the fear of an unknown future. Let us get down on our knees in prayer and wait for the abundant downpour of His showers in every area of our life. Let us keep praying with an eager expectation, even though there seems to be no evidence of an answer. God will turn everything around with His downpour of grace, when each and every area of our life will bounce back to liveliness.

Enjoy The Fullness Of Freedom

"It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdend again by a yoke of slavry."
Galatians 5:1

Many things in life weigh us down, making us feel defeated, draining all our courage. But Jesus has already carried all our burdens on the cross and therefore we are ultimately free, now that we are His children. So let us be inflexible, not allowing any burden to pull us down, but enjoy the fullness of the freedom that God has given us. Let us not feel outcast but be victorious and proclaim this real freedom to the lost.

God Denies Nothing That Is Good For Us

"Even strong lions sometimes go hungry, but those who trust in the Lord will lack no good."
Psalm 34:10

Even crafty, mighty, high-handed men may get into crisis and break down. But we who seek the Lord can always be ensured of His resources. He will never deny anything that is good for us. If at all we are denied something, though it may seem to be good in itself, it may not be good for us. So let us be sure that God can supply anything, and will grant His best to us.

Delayed Hope and Accomplished Desire

"Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a longing fulfilled is a tree of life."
Proverbs 13:12

We have gone through most of our life, waiting for things to happen. Our prayers appear to just outgo without any response or solution. But God wants us to wait so that we learn something. He will dispense our expectations in His time and then our joy will know no bound.

"Will You not revive us again, that Your people may rejoice in You."
Psalm 85:6

Let us get down on our knees and ask God to stir up our frigid hearts.When God sends His revival, all dead spots will rupture into life, adding elegance and pleasure that we have never experienced before. May God enliven all the decayed sections of our life.

Know, Trust And Seek

"Those who know Your name will trust in You, for You, Lord, have never forsaken those who seek You."
Psalm 9:10

Knowledge about God, His nature and deeds is comfort and strength to our soul and it compels us to confide in Him. The more we know of Him, the more we will place our confidence in Him.

No Flood Can Swallow Us

He reached down from on high and took hold of me; He drew me out of deep waters." Psalm 18:16

Sometimes, God personally interposes to rescue us from dangers lest we are swept away by our sorrows and sufferings. The flooding of harms and disasters can never engulf us because God not only subdues the violence of the torrent but also reaches down to tightly grasp us out of evil, so that none can ever snatch us away from Him. He thus embraces us to make us His own possession.

Never Finish Praying

"my eyes are dim with grief; I call to You, O Lord, everyday; I spread out my hands to You."
Psalm 88:9

When life seems totally torn up, there is still hope for us. Let us never give up calling on God. Sometimes God is silent(v.14), but His awesome, exceptional performances are usually brought about after His silence (eg.Job - God is silent until the 38th chapter, waiting for His perfect time to give Job a double blessing of whatever he lost). God is in control all along. Let us not forgo our prayer.

Plea For Hasty Favor

"Hide not Your face from Your servant; for I am in distress; make haste to answer me." Psalm 69:17

Let's be sure not to lose God's presence at any point of time and let nothing interrupt us from seeking His nearness. We can let God know the urgency of our cause and cry out for a hasty favor, but we need to be patient in case of His delayed intervention. Yet, we can keep pleading for an immediate relief.

Shame Shattered

"..you will never be put to shame or disgraced, to ages everlasting."

Isaiah 45:17

Shame is a very embarrassing feeling that keeps us chained forever, not letting us to rise up and shine. But we no longer need to carry our shame because Jesus carried even our shame on the cross. He will increase our glory abundantly and will personally nourish and cherish us and will help us forget our shame and remember them no more.(54:4,5). Let us dispel all our disgrace and move forward to reach our God-given goal.

Mens' Look Vs. God's Look

"I am concerned for you and will look on you with favor;.."
Ezekiel 36:9

Men look on us to find charges against us and criticize us (Daniel 6:4). But God looks on us with favor to make us fertile, multiply us and confirm His covenant with us (Leviticus 26:9). He looks on us with esteem to relieve us from all our stress and strain.

A Thorough Rescue

"My God sent His angels to shut the lions' mouths so that they would not hurt me.." Daniel 6:22

The world is full of danger wherever we turn - conspiracy, disruption, condemnation, agitation, contending, etc. We solely get trapped in alarming situations. But let us remember that God is always in control of the lions and will tackle our situation if we let Him to. He is always with us to afford a thorough rescue from any danger. Let us just pray and trust in Him.

Short-lived Sorrow But Lasting Joy

"You have sorrow now, but I will see you again; then you will rejoice and no one can rob you of that joy."
John 16:22

There will be instances in our lives when God seems to hide His face from us (Isaiah 54:8), which will be more afflicting. But when He manifests Himself there will be joy beyond description that can never crackup or be robbed. All our agony will be turned to joy and we will be delighted as a travailing mother would rejoice to see babe after all her pain.

We are Flawless and Perfect in Christ

"So you are complete through your union with Christ, who is the head of every ruler and authority."
Colossians 2:10

We live in a corrupt world, feeling hurt and plundered of the good things we actually deserve. Let us renew our amity with Christ, in whom we can enjoy a thorough freedom from sin and His absolute grace, strength, joy, wisdom and peace. He is the Superior Master, proficient in everything. Let no worldly philosophies or traditions outrank our priority to Christ. He dominates over any other power. Let us not fear any other upper hand that has control over us at work or at home. Nothing will come to pass unless God permits.
