JEHOVAHJIREH! 12/11/16
Philippians 4:19 (KJV) 19 But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
I AWOKE this morning, and TRUTHFULLY, I NEVER tire of PRAISING THE LORD for AWAKENING-especially AWAKENING and feeling well and whole!!!
I can also, TRUTHFULLY, concur with the mighty Apostle Paul:
Philippians 4:18 (KJV) 18 But I have all, and abound: I am full, having received of Epaphroditus the things which were sent from you, an odour of a sweet smell, a sacrifice acceptable, wellpleasing to God.
These past few days, weeks and years I have found my self saying more often:
"
I CAN'T FIX IT!!!"
I wish I could FIX whatever ails you and ANY in this world-I REALLY DO!!!!
IF I COULD I WOULD!!!
BUT, you see, I DO know Someone who can.
HIS NAME IS JESUS-PRECIOUS JESUS!!!!
You see:
Philippians 4:19 (KJV) 19 But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
Paul also made this claim:
Philippians 4:13 (KJV) 13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. The mighty Apostle was not just making an idle boast/ "whistling Dixie!"
WE CAN DO ALL THINGS THROUGH CHRIST WHICH STRENGTHENETH US!!!
I refer you back to Philippians 4:19!!!
I received an unexpected long distant number call from an unfamiliar number.
I always hesitate to answer these calls-do you remember when the cell phone companies charged us by the minutes we used!!??
I had care of Amanda that day and it is almost impossible to carry on a conversation while taking care of her needs.
But answer it I did and sure enough, it was a needy soul that needed comfort.
I tried bravely to help the young man but soon enough realized I could not give my full attention to him and PROMISED to call him back ASAP.
I did call him back and listened to his need and needs.
I have known this young man all of his life and love him dearly.
Like too many young people, he has wasted his life and now finds himself lonely and afraid.
I WANT and wanted to FIX him!!!
BUT, like Peter responded to another need:
Acts 3:6 (KJV) 6 Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk.
I did not nor do not have any room in my home to house him nor do I have enough money to support him.
I do NOT have any physical means or plan to "fix" what ails him.
BUT, what I do have is JESUS!!!
My SINCERE plea to him was to "find" Jesus!!!!!
Jeremiah 29:13 (KJV) 13 And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.
As my mentor Andrea Crouch wrote:
"
JESUS IS THE ANSWER FOR THE WORLD TODAY
ABOVE HIM THERE'S NO OTHER- JESUS IS THE WAY!!!"
Beloved, it may not be an easy or a quick fix, but I can assure you,
If you find Jesus, HE will fix it!!!!
I close today with a Verse I feel God PERSONALLY gave to me this year:
Luke 19:26 (KJV) 26 For I say unto you, That unto every one which hath shall be given; and from him that hath not, even that he hath shall be taken away from him.
TODAY, if all YOU have is a wee bit of FAITH, exercise/use it!!!
Luke 19:26 (KJV) 26 For I say unto you, That unto every one which hath shall be given; and from him that hath not, even that he hath shall be taken away from him.
GOD WILL ADD TO IT!!
I have ONE WORD for YOU today:
JEHOVAHJIREH-from
<H3068>
(Yehovah) and
<H7200>
(ra'ah);
Jehovah will see
(to it);
Jehovah-Jireh
, a symbolical name for Mt. Moriah :- Jehovah-jireh.
Strong's Talking Greek & Hebrew Dictionary.
Genesis 22:14 (KJV) 14 And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovahjireh: as it is said to this day, In the mount of the LORD it shall be seen.
GOD WILL SEE (TO IT!)
GOD BLESS YOU!
