About Christ looking out for us…
Luke 22:35 Then Jesus asked them, "When I sent you without purse, bag or
sandals, did you lack anything?" "Nothing," they answered. (NIV)
We all have our needs. We all have our human instincts. We all have the seven
deadly instincts that can drive us into hell. And when we go somewhere or do
something in our day to day life, if we are honest, we often go because of what
we want, not because of what God wants for us or from us. We go where we want to
go and do what we want to do because of our selfish egos and our selfish
thoughts. There is an axiom, an unwritten law, a working truth that works in our
lives. Here is the law. When we do for God because God wants us to do something
for Him, He provides the way and the means. This does not mean we are to act
stupid and walk around on a mission for God with our hand out waiting for God to
pour blessings on us. For in our walk for God, we are to be resourceful and we
are to be as wile as serpents. In our walk for God, we are to use His
unfathomable wisdom to help us get through the day. Here is the point. When God
sends us someplace, and we go there only because God sends us, then His
blessings flow out of our decision to follow Him. Doing God’s will in spite of
all hardships, trials, temptations, and obstacles as big as mountains, is
sometimes hard to do. However, after we have done His will in all the ways He
wants His will done, after we have renounced our own will, we will say we lack
for nothing and mighty blessings will flow from within our lives.
