Good
Morning!
Palms
23:1 continues ~~~~~~
Yesterday,
I gave you some scriptures that referred to "lack" . . . (or the
lack of it)
 Wow! I didn't
know the Holy Spirit used "puns"! I do know that He has a
sense of humor! To some people, it may seem "irreverent" of me
to say funny things in my Encouragements, but I believe that it happens to
bring a "smile" to your face and "joy" to your heart.
Remember . . . "A merry heart doeth good like a medicine"!
Anyway
. . . I am about to be very "serious" about giving you some
scriptures that pertain to the covenant promises from The Good Shepherd.
I am going to start with PROVISION, and remember that I am only using
some scriptures. So, don't think that the ones I will be referring to
are the only ones in the Bible.
I
am going to use scriptures that show us the "channels" that God has
set up to get His provision to us. First of all,
let's establish this fact . . . God's provision is not just
"money, food, clothing, cars" etc. It "includes"
these things, but it is not "limited" to just material things. It
is any thing and every thing that you have need
of! Do you remember when The Lord said, "I AM", meaning "I
AM whatever you need me to be!"? Well, then
think about that as we go through the scriptures concerning the three areas of
PROVISION, PROTECTION and DIRECTION!
Let
me get started with "provision" first ~~~~ Keep in mind, that
God has already made "provision" for us, but
He has "channels" that He uses in order to get that
"provision" to us. That is what we will find in the
scriptures that I am using.
Luke
6:36 tells us that when we "give", The Lord will use people
to give us material provision. I encourage you to read that scripture again, no
matter how many times you have read it before . . . you just may see it in a different
light! Notice the word "SHALL" . . . that is a
"covenant" word! Now, let's go to the third chapter of
Malachi, verse 10 . . . this tells us that when we "tithe", The
Lord, Himself, will open up the windows of Heaven and pour out your
"provision". Well, guys and gals . . . The only things that
God can send to you from Heaven is whatever is there! This is a
whole 'nother kind of "provision"! There is no
"money" in Heaven (no need for it), every thing there has been paid
for by the blood of Jesus! There are no "cars" in Heaven (no
need for them), we will ride around in "chariots of fire"! My
point is . . . God will use "people" here on earth to get those
things to you, but what He will "pour out" on you,
when you tithe, is so much more valuable than those "material
things". I will talk about that in my next Encouragement! I
am excited! I know that there is coming a day when we will read Psalms
23 differently that we have ever read it before! Remember, no
Encouragement tomorrow, but I will be back Thursday!
Have
a Blessed Day!! ( He is the
great "I AM"! ) In His
Love, Luanne
