The Answer to Every ProblemExemplo

AGREE WITH GOD

No matter what you’re facing today, and no matter how bad things look in the world, the Bible has the answers. For example, I’ve been hearing a lot about shortages – that there’s not enough food, or supplies, or medicines, or important things that we all need. I’ve been hearing about prices going sky high. What’s going to happen when we run out of things or can’t afford them?

It’s so easy to get fearful! But instead of letting ourselves dwell on the rumors and imagining the worst (which is so easy to do!), let’s ask ourselves what does the Bible say?

When we look into God’s Word, we see that He will take care of us. He is El Shaddai, the God who is more than enough, and He has promised to provide everything His children need, no matter what’s happening all around us. John 10:10 says that one of the reasons Jesus came to the earth was to give you a rich, satisfying life! Choose to imagine that, instead of imagining the worst.

Philippians 4 says, Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus (vv. 6-7). What a promise! Do this with every problem you face, every worry you have.

Earlier in that chapter (verse 4) the Apostle Paul tells us to rejoice in the Lord always. Again I say, rejoice! He wrote that from prison, so he didn’t rejoice because everything was looking so good for him. If he could rejoice in prison, we can rejoice in the midst of our world. When you look into the Bible, there are so many things to rejoice over. And you can’t be overwhelmed or depressed when you’re rejoicing.

Philippians 4 goes on to promise my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus (v. 19). That’s great news! Next time you feel anxious start saying, “God is supplying all my needs. I’m not worried.”

The same God who created you will put you over no matter how much you have to pay for gasoline or groceries. What does the Bible say? It says you’re going to be okay! He will supply your need! He will provide! He will protect you and give you joy! Start searching out and agreeing with His Word instead of the circumstances all around you.
