Present Needs
This quote rocked my word today...
Some things that we might think desirable we may not have. Before Christ was brought face to face with the tempter, he was fitted for his service by being kept hungry for forty days; and it may be that some things that we desire may in like manner be kept back. But faith should always claim that that which God has given us, and is giving us, is sufficient for present needs. If faith is only in lively exercise we shall know this, that no single thing we do not possess would be a help to us today. What does the Word say? "No good thing will be withheld." Psalm 84:11. "My God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus." Phil. 4:19
