God will provide

Have you ever heard the story of God raining down food from heaven? I mean literally, food fell from the sky. Let me tell you what happened.

It was in Exodus 16 where the Israelites found themselves hungry, uncomfortable, irritable, and actually...ungrateful for all that God had done for them. While in the wilderness, they grumbled and complained to Moses, their leader. And Moses prayed to God on their behalf. They were wandering in the wilderness, the desert, on their way to Canaan. Canaan was the land the Lord had promised them. It was a land that was far better than where they had come from. They had been in bondage in Egypt -- enslaved for many years and the Lord performed countless miracles that allowed them to escape their wretched, miserable, hopeless existence. And now they found themselves in the wilderness and they continued to complain and grumble, yet the Lord was still with them. He provided food from heaven for them (called manna), over and over again, which sustained them. Isn't that like the Lord? He will just provide for us, because He loves us that much. Remember, He will never leave us or forsake us.

What are you in need of? What is your need? What are you hungry for? Don't you know that God will provide it for you too? That story of Moses and the Isrealites doesn't just stop there. It's a miracle from God that can also happen in our lives at any time. Whatever you're in need of, no need complaining, no need grumbling, no need for any of that. That may prolong the blessing. All it takes is a humble and grateful attitude of praise and worship, and the Lord will also answer your need when you take your petitions (prayers) to Him. He will provide.

God blesses whomever he wants to bless, whenever he wants to bless them

Daily Devotional Podcast. Follow along with blog post. When I was going through a dark time -- when I had nothing -- there was a certain person who helped me sometimes. She helped me whenever she basically felt like it, but she did help, and for that I'm appreciative. But, something interesting happened after I started growing out of my despair. Something interesting started happening when I no longer needed her for anything. And something interesting happened even though I remained kind and grateful towards. The interesting thing that happened was that she started hating on me. She started treating me differently. At first I was really bothered by it, because I thought she and her husband were nice people I wanted in my life. I liked that they had a sense of compassion and were interested in helping people who were down and low. That really appealed to me, because I was raised that way; my mother was raised that way; her mother was raised that way, and it goes back to as fa

Speak things as if they were

Daily Devotional Podcast. Follow along with blog post. Do you know you have the power to speak things into existence? Do you know you have the power to change your atmosphere? Oh yes, so speak life to your life and know that the Lord's Word never comes back void. It is always alive and active. It's never too late to start speaking over your life. In   Mark 11 :24 Jesus says, "therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours"  and   Proverbs 23 :7 says, "for as a man thinks in his heart, so is he."  Those verses are proof that when something lives in our heart, all we have to do is open our mouths and speak those things as if we already had them. It's amazing how much power we really have, but we throw it away, because of our lack of faith. I've done that for years and let me tell you, it's not happening anymore. I'm not giving no thing, no one, and no place another inch of m
