Source Of Supply

Scripture says that Everything comes from God; everything exists by his power; and everything is intended for his glory." - Romans 11:36.

We all need sources in our lives that we can depend on. A source is a supplier of something that we cannot produce on our own. Sources make our lives easier, enjoyable, and productive. Those sources are subject to shortages and interruptions and can be in short supply. But it is not so when God is our source and supply.

God is our Source-the perfect and Source for everything we could ever need or want. But, we have to receive Him as our one and only Source by faith. The Word of God will renew our mind, feed our faith, and get us where we need to be to receive the supply God has for us.

That's why the Scripture says that the man who takes God as his source is blessed: "Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, whose trust is the Lord. He is like a tree planted by water, that sends out its roots by the stream and does not fear when heat comes, for its leaves remain green, and is not anxious in the year of drought, for it does not cease to bear fruit." (Jeremiah 17:7-8)

Some of us keep our relatives, friends and dear ones as our source. However, at times, they may betray our confidence as they have their own issues in life. Eventually, we'll find that "God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus." (Philippians 4:19). We need to put our trust and security in something that cannot be taken from us: God.

Our job shouldn't be our security. The job is a channel, but God is our source. He's our never-ending source for whatever we're in short supply of.

If our source has stopped working God can turn on another source. If God closes a door in your life, He can open another door. And if another door closes, He can open a window. Bank accounts rise and fall. Economies go up and down. Stock markets can go bull or bear. It doesn't matter.

By coming to Jesus every day, you draw from the source of all resources. He is the love you so need, the joy that will motivate and renew you, and the strength that will carry you through the day no matter how much supply you require.
