Everything We Need Is In Christ
On the third and fourth Saturday of the month, our church has been
given the privilege of ministering to the elderly members of a local nursing
home. Yesterday I shared a word that
greatly impacted me while I was speaking.
I got the revelation that we do not have to go outside of Jesus Christ
to get anything that we need. We haven’t
got to make back room deals with the evil one, his followers, our friends,
neighbors, relatives, or even our employers.
Everything that we need is in Him and we shouldn’t worry because God
made the entire universe (Hebrews 11:3).
God continually supplies all of our needs. We may sometimes feel
that we are lacking, but He has already given those who love Him everything
that we will ever need to live a life for Him (2 Peter 1:3). He even chose us to
be just like Him when He adopted us to be His offspring through Jesus Christ
(Ephesians 1:3-5).
In spite of our challenges, issues, sins, omissions, commissions,
thoughtlessness, carelessness, insensitivity and challenges, He made us
acceptable to Him (Ephesians 1:6). Today, when things are not working out as
planned, when people are working against us, and when the whole world seems to
be in a conspiracy to take our happiness and joy, let us remember that
everything that we need is already in Him and we have the privilege of calling
Him to help us to get whatever we need (Romans 8:15). Let us continually rejoice about that!

be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the

4 For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love
5 he predestined us for adoption to sonship through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will—

15 For
the Spirit that God has given you does not make you slaves and cause you to be
afraid; instead, the Spirit makes you God's children, and by the Spirit's power
we cry out to God, “Father! my Father!”
