His Supplying Not My Trying

All the trying in the world began and ended with the feeling that I had to produce this life on my own.

That is simply not true.

We have life, and that more abundantly, through Jesus, who ministers on our behalf by the power of an endless life:

" [Jesus] only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honour and power everlasting. Amen." (1 Timothy 6: 16)

and then

"[Jesus] is made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life." (Hebrews 7: 16)

Jesus is all supply in our need for all things:

"But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus." (Philippians 4: 19)

and also

"He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?" (Romans 8: 32)

and even this

"21Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are yours; 22Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are yours; 23And ye are Christ's; and Christ is God's. (1 Corinthians 3: 21-23)

Everything is ours because of Jesus!

Here is one more reason, among many, while all the talk about "choosing your own conception of God" is not only wrong, but deceptive and dangerous.

He is constantly supplying to us all the time.

That is what eternal  life is all about.

This is such a new and novel truth to me. It is not a new or novel revelation in itself.

He is constantly supplying all my needs, and He is working within me both to will and to do for His good pleasure (Philippians 2: 12-13)

Not based on my thoughts or feelings, but the Cross and His blood.

Not based on us, but based on Him who has been from the beginning.

Wow!
