Today’s focus: Blessing Over Trouble
Prayer can get a little messy at times as the enemy brings in distractions.
But today God may be calling us to wrestle in prayer and lean into the truth of His Word. When we do, we come away changed.
Just like Jacob wrestled with God and was blessed.
Today we’re considering blessing over trouble. Whatever is going on in the world, we are not in trouble because Jesus has taken us out of trouble and over trouble.
The Apostle Paul gave encouragement to the church in this way.
Philippians 4:19 (NIV)
And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.
Our hope comes from being “in Christ Jesus”
If we are looking for blessing, we must start up with Christ Jesus.
The Philippian church knew what “supply” meant. It was more than needed. It was overflow. It will be so much more than what is needed. It overflows. That is what is available when we are “In Christ.”
The blessing is supplied according .. according means that is coming from God. It is from Heaven and is above anything that is on earth. The blessing, being sourced in God, is so far above anything.
So how do I pray today?
Make God personal. What He has, He shares with us. It becomes mine. Every blessing He has, I have - because He is “My God.” He has brought me out of trouble and over trouble.
