LOOK UP FOR YOUR SUPPLY

LOOK UP FOR YOUR SUPPLY

When the Israelites were slaves in Egypt, they relied on the River Nile, a natural resource, for their supply of water. They depended entirely on their own hands to carry the water from the Nile and did not have to look to God at all for His supply. This is a picture of human self-effort.On the other hand, in the promised land of Canaan that God had prepared for His beloved people, there was no River Nile to depend on.

 So they had to look up and depend solely on the Lord for the blessing of rain to fall upon their land.Beloved, even as you labor diligently in your career today, what is your trust in? Is it in your self-efforts to provide for yourself, or is your dependence on the Lord to bless, increase and promote you? It's time to look up, especially in times of economic turmoil when the "Niles" of the world are drying up. 
Look up to Jesus for your supply! Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly... but his delight is in the law of the Lord, and in His law he meditates day and night. He shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth its fruit in its season, whose leaf also shall not wither; and whatever he does shall prosper. —Psalm 1:1-3.
And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth. —John 1:14.
But to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. —1 Corinthians 1:24 

DELIGHT IN JESUS DAILY'

The Bible tells us, "Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly." This means that while there is wisdom in ungodly counsel, a blessed man does not depend on it or walk in it. On the contrary, his delight is in the Word of God, which is the person of Jesus!My friend, let your delight be in Jesus. See Him in every page of the Bible as you meditate on God's Word day and night.Beloved, whose counsel are you walking in today for your provision? Be wary of ungodly counsel that promises you quick short-term gains that could cause you to get into a debt trap.

 Conversely, as you meditate on Jesus daily, you will enjoy the blessings of abundance as a by-product of just being in His presence! As you delight in Jesus, you will bring forth fruit in season, your leaf (your health) will not wither, and whatever you do becomes abundantly blessed! But of Him you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God and righteousness and sanctification and redemption.—1 Corinthians 1:30.
Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom. And in all your getting, get understanding. —Proverbs 4:7The Lord will guide you continually, and satisfy your soul in drought... —Isaiah 58:11.
If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. —James 1:5 

WISDOM IS THE PRINCIPAL THING.

The solution to money problems is the wisdom of God. Today, as you believe God for increase, I want to encourage you to ask God first for wisdom with regard to all the provision challenges that you are facing right now.In the Book of James, we learn that if anyone lacks wisdom, "let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him."The wisdom of God will help you to identify and solve the money problems that you are currently experiencing. Don't prioritize accumulating material things. 

God's Word declares that wisdom is the principal thing. My friend, in all your getting, get wisdom and understanding! When wisdom enters your heart, and knowledge is pleasant to your soul, discretion will preserve you; understanding will keep you, to deliver you from the way of evil.

Proverbs 2:10-12.I will instruct you and teach you in 

the way you should go; I will counsel you and 

watch over you. —Psalm 32:8, NIV.

Blessed is the man whom You instruct, O Lord... —Psalm 94:12.

For whoever finds me wisdom finds life, 

and obtains favor from the Lord. —Proverbs 8:35.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on 

your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, 

and He shall direct your paths. —Proverbs 3:5-6  

INVOLVE JESUS.

You don't need a financial miracle when you are consistently walking in the wisdom of God. In other words, when you walk in His wisdom, you won't be surviving from one bailout to another, nor will you be in a constant state of financial crisis and lack.My friend, God's provision of wisdom is abundant and I want to challenge you to tap into this powerful resource from heaven.

Before you make a career move, start a new business, or make a significant purchase or investment, involve Jesus. Don't exclude the Lord. When someone pressurizes you to sign an agreement because the offer is "only valid for today," take a step back. Don't make an emotional decision and rush into it. Wait upon the Lord. Be prepared to walk away from this "great opportunity" if you don't sense His peace and wisdom. Learning how to flow in divine wisdom will save you both precious time and money.

 I returned and saw under the sun that—the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, nor bread to the wise, nor riches to men of understanding, nor favor to men of skill; but time and chance happen to them all.—Ecclesiastes 9:11
For You, O Lord, will bless the righteous; with favor You will surround him as with a shield. —Psalm 5:12
For they God's people did not gain possession of the land by their own sword, nor did their own arm save them; but it was Your right hand, Your arm, and the light of Your countenance, because You favored them.—Psalm 44:3...
in Your favor our horn is exalted.—Psalm 89:17
