What do you need today?

BIBLE MEDITATION:
And 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, 2 Corinthians 9:8
DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT:
When God unmistakably demonstrates His replenishing power in supernatural ways, it awakens the world. Jesus did just that: once with a crowd of 5,000, then again with a crowd of 4,000. He demonstrated that He is the God who provides (see Matthew 14:14-21, 15:32-38).
But seeing the thousands needing to be fed, some of the disciples suggested Jesus send them away to nearby towns to purchase their own food. In human terms, it seemed the most responsible thing to do. But Jesus turned to the supernatural power of God. Moved with compassion, He confidently told the disciples to begin feeding the multitudes. Jesus never wavered in His complete and utter trust in Jehovah Jireh, our Provider.
God has made you a promise in His Word, and on this you can rely: “My God shall supply all your need [need, not “wants”] according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:19).
ACTION POINT:
Do you have needs today you fear God may not meet? Go to Him in humble submission and rest upon His promise. Ask God to fill you and your family with complete trust in Jehovah Jireh.

Front Porch Moments by Gayle Foster
WITH KEY INSIGHTS FROM HER FATHER, ADRIAN ROGERS
I try to unplug each morning with Jesus with just my rocking chair, my Bible, and a pen.
Having a secret place is very important because I know that Jesus is always there waiting for me. I know where I can find Him! His presence is everywhere, but there are places where it is so thick you can cut it with a knife. You may not even have a front porch, but there is a secret place for you as well. God’s invitations are for anyone who will respond. There is no more important request than the one found in Psalm 27:8: “My heart has heard You say, ‘Come and talk with Me.’ And my heart responds, ‘Lord, I am coming.’”
