PHILIPPIANS 4:19 NIV 19 And my God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus. God can use any avenue or any means to provide for you, but He is the ultimate Source behind every blessing. Your job or occupation is one avenue God can use to bless you. But, your job is not your source. God's plan for mankind is that we labor. So God will usually provide for us by giving us a good job, good health, and the ability to do that job. However, God is not limited to providing for you through a job. Even if you lose the job -- God is still your Source, and He will still provide for you. Even if you lose your health, God can and will still provide for you. (And He will also heal you, if you let Him.) God can bless you through friends and relatives, but they are not your source. Even if they fail you or forsake you, God will not. PSALM 27:10 NKJ 10 When my father and my mother forsake me, then the Lord will take care of me. HEBREWS 13:5 NKJ 5 Le...

Pride and Humility PROVERBS 22:4 NKJ 4 By humility and the fear of the Lord are riches and honor and life. Humility is the opposite of pride. Humility does not think it is better than anyone else. "I am what I am by the grace of God." 1 PETER 5:5 NKJ 5 Likewise you younger people, submit yourselves to your elders. Yes, all of you be submissive to one another, and be clothed with humility, for "God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble." A humble person is one who follows God's instructions, instead of leaning to their own understanding. Being a humble person does not mean being a loser. A humble person is one who has the proper relationship to God and grasps reality, which is: without God, we can do nothing. Humility will cause a person to remember their need to pray. A humble person is one who prefers to suffer wrong rather than do wrong. Pride will bring you low. Humility will cause God to exalt you. LUKE 14:11 NKJ 11 "For...

MATTHEW 4:4 NKJ 4 But He answered and said, "It is written, `Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.'" You may neglect the Word of God and still exist, but you will not enjoy life -- really live -- as God intended, without feeding regularly on God's Word. Just as you need physical food to remain strong physically, you also need spiritual food to stay strong spiritually. God's Word -- the Bible -- is the food that feeds our faith, and gives us spiritual strength. Every day you need to feed, at least some, on God's Word. A helpful key is to develop good habits, such as reading the Word every time you eat food, or every morning when you awake, or right before you go to sleep. The time is not important, just that you remember every day. There are many ways to feed on God's Word available to us today. Reading, or listening to, teaching from the Bible is one way. Speaking the Word -- especially when y...
