Oversupply
Over Supply!
Pastor Terry Dashner
Psalm 100: 5 (NIV) "For the Lord is good and his love endures
forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations."
Have you ever wondered just how much of the light produced by
the sun reaches, or is reflected off of, our earth? The answer
will probably surprise you!
Light pours forth from the sun in all directions. Without
thinking, we might consider it a flat surface directing its rays
solely at the earth. But that is not so. Light streams from the
giant ball of fire which we call our sun in all directions. The
result is that less than one part in half a billion parts of the
sun's radiant energy reaches our earth! For every one ray of
sunlight that dances on a June meadow, half a billion rays are
dancing somewhere else! Here, then, is an almost inexhaustible
source of heat, energy, and light. At the best, we tap an
infinitesimal fraction of its potential.
Can we make a similar comparison with God's grace, love, and
wisdom? Who can explore it? Who can dare claim he has exhausted
God's resources?
"O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of
God! How unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past
finding out!" (Romans 11:33).
The Bible also says that God owns cattle on a thousand hills.
All the gold and silver belong to Him as well. In one Biblical
text, God boasts that no one has ever held counsel with Him.
There is no one in the universe wise enough to give God counsel.
He does just fine on His own. What is your need this morning?
God can and will meet your need according to His riches in glory
in Christ Jesus. You may think that your need is too great for
God to meet. You may think that God isn't concerned about your
petty problems. You may think that God is far removed from the
daily affairs of man and is not interested in you. According to
the Bible, God is very interested in you. He loved you before
you knew Him. He cares for you now. If you will pray this simple
prayer and mean every word of it with your heart, God will
respond.
Can you say this prayer?
Father, I come to you just as I am. I have nothing to offer you
but this heart felt prayer. Please hear my plea and help me,
especially in this time of need. I need your help in this way:
_______________. Thank you for answering my prayer. In Jesus
name I pray. Amen.
When your answer comes, please drop me a line and tell me about
it. I'm still overwhelmed by God's goodness to His people. I
believe He is waiting, tapping His foot while His arms are
crossed, more than ready to answer the pleas of His people. You
and I are the ones who qualify for His mercies that are new
every morning and last throughout all generations.
Keep the faith. Please stay the course. Jesus is coming soon!
