In times such as these we need to know and rest in the all sufficiency of God.
The Apostle Paul speaking to the Corinthians about giving, encouraged them that 'God is able to make all grace abound toward you that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work.' (2Cor9.8)
There is a sufficiency that we can walk in by God's provision, that will differentiate us from the world when it is going through storms that fill people with fear, worry and uncertainty.
That sufficiency reaches us through the pipeline of faith and trust in the Lord. The Scriptures declare, 'Blessed is the man that trusteth in the Lord, and whose hope the Lord is. For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.' (Jer17.7-8)
The place of quiet trust and confidence in the Lord, and His promises toward us, is a place of security and shelter from the storm. A place of rest, a place of great peace.
Ps91 is full of the promises of God to the believer that dwells in that secret place of trust in Him. One particular promise is that 'a thousand shall fall at thy side and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.' Ps91.7. All around us the waves of the sea of this world's systems can be in turmoil, but in Christ there is a security like no other that will keep us and protect us.
Jesus said, 'Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.' (John14.27)
May I daily believe, daily trust and daily place my hope and confidence in the Almighty God, fixing my gaze on Him.
