      The One Thing Youย Need

      The Lord asked me a question this morning: "If you were stranded on a deserted island, what one thing would you bring?" My mind immediately went to survival. His mind went to relationship. ๐Ÿ’Ž "Nothing can give and produce like Me." What a powerful reminder that the greatest treasure isn't what He givesโ€”it's Him.

      Today’s One Year Bible Verses:ย 2 Kings 3:1โ€“4:17, Acts 14:8โ€“28, Psalm 140:1โ€“13, Proverbs 17:22


      Jesus Is More Then Enough

      I was amazed by what the Lord whispered to me this morning as I was spending time with Him.

      He asked me a simple question:

      “If you were stranded on a deserted island and could bring only one thing with you, what would it be?”

      Immediately, my mind began thinking of practical thingsโ€”food, water, shelter, tools, or some way to call for rescue. But before I could settle on an answer, I felt Him gently respond:

      “The Producer of miracles… or anything else?”

      That question stopped me in my tracks. I quickly realized we automatically go to things of this world and overlook Him as a valuable possession. Then He spoke this Gem of Knowledge to me through His Holy Spirit:

      “Nothing can give and produce like Me. You are essentially on a desert island in this life. Make sure you have Me with you because I am the only one who can sustain, produce miracles, and ultimately save you. Amen.”

      I then thought, “Yes! You, of course! What better thing then You! After all, You can do anything.”

      Why would I choose provision if I could choose the Provider?
      Why would I choose food when I could choose the One who fed thousands with a few loaves and fish?
      Why would I choose water when I could choose the One who brought water from a rock?
      Why would I choose rescue when I could choose the Savior?

      In 2 Kings 3, three kings found themselves trapped in the wilderness without water. Their situation was desperate. Their armies and animals were facing certain death if God did not intervene. Yet God did what only He could do. Without rain and without natural explanation, He filled the dry valley with water and delivered His people.

      The provision was miraculous because it came from the Provider. Hallelujah!

      Then, in 2 Kings 4, we encounter a widow whose circumstances also appeared hopeless. She was burdened by debt and facing the loss of her sons. Yet God multiplied a small jar of oil into enough provision to meet every need. Shortly afterward, He also blessed the Shunammite woman with the child she had long desired.

      Again and again, God demonstrated that He was not limited by human resources.

      He was the source of them.

      The Gem said, “You are essentially on a desert island in this life.”

      Everything in this world is temporary. Possessions can be lost. Health can fail. Careers can change. People come and go. Even the strongest earthly foundations eventually pass away.

      Only God remains through it all.

      When we have Him, we possess the One who can provide whatever we need when we need it.

      The greatest mistake we can make is becoming so focused on the gifts that we lose sight of the Giver.

      Because at the end of the day, if I had to choose between all the provision in the world and the Provider Himself, I would choose the Provider every single time. ๐Ÿ’Ž๐Ÿ™Œ


      Action (5 Minutes with God)

      Take at least 5 minutes to be with the Provider today, Jesus. Ask Him:

      • โ€œLord, what do You want me to know about this personally?โ€
        • Journal what He gives you through His Holy Spirit.
      • Then ask, โ€œWhat do You want me to do?โ€
        • Journal what He reveals โ€“ย then do it!

      Thank Him for His blessings and make a conscious decision to place your trust in the One who gives them.


      Prayer

      Father, thank You for being my Provider, Sustainer, Miracle Worker, and Savior. Forgive me for the times I have trusted more in Your gifts than in You. Help me keep my eyes fixed on the Giver rather than the gifts. Teach me to rely on Your wisdom, Your strength, and Your provision in every season of life. Thank You that You are more than enough for every need I will ever face. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

      “Prosperity”- You keep using that word…

      By Elizabeth Prata

      SYNOPSIS: Are you in a season where the Lord’s supply or provision for you or your family seems meager? Ask yourself instead, is it sufficient?


      Phil Johnson is Executive Director of the global ministry Grace to You, editor of John MacArthur’s books, and co-leads his Sunday School class called GraceLife.

      I decided to do some cooking and listen to Phil Johnson’s sermon while chopping. His sermon is called “Not So Radical” and it is a message he is preaching through the Psalms of Ascents. He is up to Psalm 128.

      Pastor Johnson explained that the psalms of ascents were songs the Israelites would sing on the way to Jerusalem. No matter what direction you approached Jerusalem from, and mostly the only way to go was the Jericho road, was uphill. You hiked. You climbed. You sweated. It was 3400 arduous feet uphill all the way. You did this three times a year. Grandma had to be carried in a cart drawn by an ox. The rest just hiked. These songs were songs they would sing in praise and anticipation of the worship festival to come, and would remind them of Who they were going to worship in the coming days.

      Psalm 128:5 states the following:

      “The LORD bless you from Zion! May you see the prosperity of Jerusalem all the days of your life!”

      Pr. Johnson looped back to verse 1 which opens with a message about how fearing the LORD brings blessing. He said,

      We don’t hear enough about holy fear these days. Modern preachers like to encourage familiarity rather than fear, and that’s why so much of today’s worship is casual, flippant, man-centered. But Scripture is full of admonitions to fear the Lord. For many today, that is an unfamiliar concept.”

      Holy Fear is important to possess, to ponder, to talk about. Fearing the Lord should be an integral part of a Christian’s life. Not a servile fear. But a trembling fear of awe and reverence. He is YAHWEH, after all.

      Then he moved into explaining prosperity and blessing.

      The word prosperity here in our text speaks of the biblical concept of divine blessing, spiritual affluence, and material sufficiency. This kind of prosperity has nothing whatsoever to do with the worldly idea of mammon. The world’s idea of prosperity is overabundance, opulence, luxury, self-indulgence–all dependent on material wealth. The Lord’s definition of prosperity (by contrast) is full forgiveness, the imputation of perfect righteousness, and “grace to help in time of need”–all blessings of eternal value.

      “Sometimes the Lord’s supply seems meager, but it is always sufficient. He measures his blessings carefully, so that a glut of earthly prosperity doesn’t extinguish our hope of heaven. And even that is a great blessing.”

      Sometimes the Lord blesses by sustaining with a large amount of means, as He did with Job and Abraham. Sometimes the Lord blesses by sustaining exactly enough with little extra, as He does with me and perhaps with you. Sometimes He seems not to have sustained at all, as with the beggar at the gate, but in fact did sustain him with plenty of faith. Or sustain the paralyzed man let down through the roof with committed and loving friends. The Lord takes care of us financially and He takes care of us spiritually. What may seem meager to one or another person, is in fact perfection.

      Therefore do not be anxious, saying, โ€˜What shall we eat?โ€™ or โ€˜What shall we drink?โ€™ or โ€˜What shall we wear?โ€™ For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all.” (Matthew 6:31-32)

      So Abraham called the name of that place, โ€œThe LORD will provideโ€; as it is said to this day, โ€œOn the mount of the LORD it shall be provided.โ€ (Genesis 22:14).

      The Lord shall provide for you!

          Today is the longest day of the year (in the northern hemisphere). This is the day we have the most light.

          It is also Father's Day.

          Remember: you have a Father in heaven, who created you to be a perfect spiritual being, like Him. How far have we fallen on Earth, deep into darkness.... but through Jesus we can ascend and be re-united with the Father of lights.

If you were stranded in the desert and you found a spring you would not want to casually wander off in search of something else. You would stay close and return to it often.

                                                                                            Today’s One Year Bible Verses:ย 2 Kings 1:1โ€“2:25, Acts 13:42โ€“14:7, Psalm 139:1โ€“24, Proverbs 17:19โ€“21


                                                                                            Stay Close – Partake Often

                                                                                            Yesterday, the Lord showed me that He is the Source. Like a fresh spring to the thirsty, He alone can satisfy the deepest needs of our souls.

                                                                                            Today, He showed me something equally important: once you’ve found the Source, don’t wander away from it.

                                                                                            The Holy Spirit whispered this Gem of Knowledge to my heart:

                                                                                            “Cherish your time with Me. Do not let anything in this world take you away from it. It is your life’s spring, while anything leading you away is death. Amen.”

                                                                                            As I reflected on those words, I realized that finding a spring in the desert would change everything. A thirsty traveler wouldn’t discover life-giving water and then casually wander off in search of something else. They would stay close to it, return to it often, and protect access to it because their life depended on it.

                                                                                            That is what today’s Gem is really about.

                                                                                            We often think of our quiet time with God as just one more thing to do on our already long list of “Christian to-do’s” – We read our Bible, pray, worship, and then move on with the rest of our day. But God showed me something deeper through this Gem. Our time with Him is not simply another activity. It is the spring itself.

                                                                                            Everything else flows from it.

                                                                                            Our peace flows from it.
                                                                                            Our wisdom flows from it.
                                                                                            Our strength flows from it.
                                                                                            Our ability to love others flows from it.

                                                                                            When we stay connected to the Lord, His life continually refreshes ours. But when we allow distractions to pull us away from Him, we often wonder why we feel dry, weary, discouraged, or stagnant.

                                                                                            In 2 Kings 2 today, Elijah’s earthly ministry was coming to an end. As he prepared to be taken into heaven, Elisha refused to leave his side. Again and again Elijah told him to stay behind, but Elisha remained close. He understood that what he needed most was not a position, title, or opportunity. He needed proximity to the presence and power of God.

                                                                                            Because he stayed close, he received a double portion of Elijah’s spirit and stepped into the calling God had prepared for him.

                                                                                            His blessing flowed from connection.

                                                                                            We see something similar in Acts 13 and 14. Paul and Barnabas faced opposition, rejection, and persecution as they preached the Gospel. Yet they continued moving forward because they were drawing from a source greater than circumstances. Their strength was not coming from public approval or favorable conditions. It was coming from their relationship with God.

                                                                                            Psalm 139 takes us even deeper. David marvels at the fact that God knows him completely. He cannot escape God’s presence, nor does he want to. Instead, he invites the Lord to search his heart, reveal anything that is not pleasing to Him, and lead him in the everlasting way.

                                                                                            That is the language of someone who cherishes God’s presence.

                                                                                            Not someone checking a box or merely fulfilling an obligation, but someone who discovered the spring.

                                                                                            I think one of the enemy’s most effective strategies is not necessarily to get believers to abandon God altogether. Often he simply fills our lives with enough distractions that we gradually spend less and less time with Him. The result is the same. The further we move from the spring, the drier we become.

                                                                                            Every day we are moving toward life or away from it. Every choice either draws us closer to the Source or distracts us from Him.

                                                                                            The beautiful news is that God is always inviting us back.

                                                                                            Will you stay by the Source and drink from His spring of living waters? ๐Ÿ’Ž

GOD THE I AM is the only fortress in Whom we find a righteous protector, defender and provider. He is the only place of eternal refuge from the world’s continuing tragedies and chaos. He is the stronghold Who is and Who will provide peace, wisdom, understanding, instruction and endurance.

                                                                                            As waves of fear rolled nearer still, as deep its swell approached us nigh; our hearts near failed as we cried out, “O Lord, Your servants rescue now!” And crashed the waves of terror strong, our lives at risk — we knew death’s tide; yet stilled our hearts Your Glorious Word and on we clung and Truth prevailed.

                                                                                            As deep and dark, as depth of brine, we battled ‘gainst the foe’s onslaught; its torrents fierce as bounding main, — with cruelest rage this foe can slay. Yet in Your Will, O Saviour ours, Salvation’s Light’s our mighty Ark; afloat we stay midst evil’s gale, for You prevail within its rage.

                                                                                            Afloat we ride with knowledge sure, we look ahead with strength not ours; Endurance meets us Face-to-face, ’tis You our Strength our sure Bulwark, The fears we face — our spirit’s gain, makes strong we resolute of heart, to live God’s Will through providence — and triumph through His Will’s Intent.

                                                                                            ~kay cude, October 1, 2017

I call upon the LORD, WHO is worthy to be praised, and I am saved from my enemies. The cords of death encompassed me, and the torrents of ungodliness terrified me. The ropes of Sheol entangled me; the snares of death confronted me. In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried to my GOD for help; HE heard my voice out of HIS TEMPLE, and my cry for help before HIM CAME INTO HIS EARS.โ€ Psalm 18:2-6
