Have you noticed the tendency to treat God’s word like a lunch buffet? We pick out all the things we like and then leave the rest behind.
That happens with verses like the one in the image. We like the “…My God will supply all your needs…” part, but the “according to His riches…” part may mean it’s not according to our plan.
This could mean it includes loss that will drive us closer to Him and give us a platform that allows us to encourage thousands of others.
Grief and loss is an odd thing. It is so painful but when shared to encourage others, it can bring hope and healing.
When we remove the limitation of buffet-style reading of God’s word, we find a whole new depth to our relationship with Him.
He draws us to a place where we experience all emotions WITH Him. We not only read about Him, but truly begin to KNOW Him as He walks with us.
Our entire life and all of our experiences become a toolkit for the sake of advancing the Gospel.
God’s intent is not for you to be comfortable, but instead that you would have comfort in His presence while doing the work He has prepared for you.
