Meditate
On
…The
Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I
take refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation. He is my stronghold, my
refuge and my Savior…
2
Samuel 22:2–3, NIV
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 on their own hands to carry
the water from the Nile and did not have to look to God 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!
