God Will Get It to You!
By Gloria Copeland
"My God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus" (Phil. 4:19).
Whatever you need today, God is your source. He is your supplier. Whether you need a new car or a place to live, He has it to give to you. All you have to do is access it by faith. You don't have to figure out in your natural mind how He's going to get it to you. All you have to do is believe and receive.
Let me give you an example. Remember in the Old Testament when Moses and the children of Israel were wandering in the desert? Remember how God supplied them manna to eat? In the account of that, the people of Israel began to complain and murmur. They grew tired of manna.
They decided they wanted some meat (Num. 11). Well, on they went, complaining about manna and talking about how good it was in Egypt.
Oh, how quickly we forget.
Well, Moses began to try to figure out how and where God was going to get enough to feed all of the people. Moses began reasoning with God. He said, "Shall the flocks and the herds be slain for them? …Shall all the fish of the sea be gathered together for them?" (v. 22). And God said to Moses, "Is the Lord's hand waxed short?" (v. 23).
God did not appreciate Moses' line of questioning. Moses was saying, "Lord, it will take all the cattle we've got to feed this bunch for 30 days. It can't be done."
Not only did God not appreciate Moses' questions and attitude, God got hot! "Is the Lord's hand waxed short?"
You need to remember that when you have a need in your life. You have no business reasoning in your own mind how God is going to get something to you. Well, I wonder if He's going to have someone in the church give it to me. I wonder if somebody's gonna die and leave me a bunch of money.
God is not limited by your natural reasoning. His hand is not waxed short. He has ways that you've never even considered (Eph. 3:20). He knows how to get it to you. That's His business. He is your source. He dropped quail on the Israelites that lasted for 30 days, right there in the camp.
God might just drop a house next door to you. He might leave a brand new car in your driveway one night. He can. He's God! He can do it however He wants to. So stop reasoning and start believing. Release your faith and receive. God will get it to you!
Speak the Word: My God supplies all my need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. (Phil. 4:19)
