There are times when I get overwhelmed over my responsibilities, my difficulties and my trials. So, just before sitting down to type this day's message, my eyes went to a book on my desk. I opened it to the words of a A.B. Simpson. I MUST share them with you.
"Are you encompassed with the needs at this very moment, and almost overwhemed with difficulties, trials and emergencies These are all divinely provided vessels for the Holy Spirit to fill, and if you but rightly understood their meaning, they would become opportunities for receiving new blessings and deliverances which you can get in no other way."The scripture cited was Matthew 14:18
"Bring them here to me."He went on to say, "Bring these vessels to God. Hold them steadily before Him in faith and prayer...Give Him a chance to work and He will surely do so; and the very trials that threatened to overcome you with discouragement and disaster will become God's opportunity..."
True, my friend, MY GOD SHALL SUPPLY YOUR NEED ACCORDING TO HIS RICHES IN GLORY BY CHRIST JESUS."
My prayer for you
Lord, what a source you are. What a supply...Your riches. What a channel...Jesus. Oh, bless this one to bring their vessel to you for a filling. May their cup run over, in Jesus' name.
Amen
