God is not only our deliverer. He is also our provider. King David wrote: “I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor His seed begging for bread” (Psalm 37:25). The Apostle Paul understood this truth, so he wrote this to the Phillipian church: “And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.” Today, God wants you to be encouraged. He knows that many have unmet needs and are experiencing lack of some kind. He reminds us that He is the owner of all the gold and silver and the cattle on a thousand hills. His word counsels us to “seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things (food, home, clothing, finances shall be added to you” (Matthew 6:33). Seek the Provider, not the things. If you get this right, all these “things” shall be added to you!
You will see His Face!
God is completely holy and righteous! That is His nature. Only that which is holy and righteous can enter His presence. He loves those who are righteous. The word righteous means acting in accord with divine or moral law; free from guilt or sin. the Scriptures reveal that by virtue of Christ’s finished work on the cross, those who are born again are declared righteous in God’s sight. God sees them as the righteousness of God in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:21). This is precious because in Psalms 11:7 (AMPC), it says: “For the Lord is [rigidly] righteous, He loves righteous deeds; the upright shall behold His face, or He beholds the upright.” Because we are now the righteousness of God in Christ, we will have the privilege of seeing Him face to face. He loves us so much, that He has made a way in Christ for us to stand in His presence. So never forget, your righteous deeds (those actions that line up with His will and love), are making way for you to stand in God’s presence one day without guilt or fear. Your sacrifices of love and obedience are not in vain. God sees you and rejoices over you. You are more than a conqueror through the one who loves us and gave His life for us!
Psalms 11:7 (AMPC) “For the Lord is [rigidly] righteous, He loves righteous deeds; the upright shall behold His face, or He beholds the upright.”
