INFINITE SUPPLY
Today's Message from Chip Brogden
“…All men forsook me… Notwithstanding, the Lord stood with me…” (2 Tim. 4:16,17)
We
need to learn the kind of spiritual contentment that is completely
dependent on Christ – not on Christians! How do we learn this lesson?
Paul learned it when everyone deserted him. This would be a serious blow
to most people, but Paul had learned something many years prior to this
that prevented him from losing hope. Have we learned it?
“I know
both how to be abased, and I know how to abound” (Php. 4:12). Both!
Learning contentment is not just figuring out how to make do with
little, it is also making do with a lot. How we respond to having too
little says something about us, but how we respond to having too much
says something also. “I know both,” says Paul, whether full or hungry,
whether abounding or suffering need. He is independent of his
circumstances. He is the same, whether he has a lot or whether he has a
little.
Regardless of what state you find yourself in today, you
too can do “all things through Christ” Who strengthens you. The greater
your deficiency, the greater His sufficiency. In your weakness His
strength is more clearly revealed. Even in your most difficult moments
you will find in Him a rich storehouse of spiritual sufficiency that
exceeds all your expectations. There are no quick fixes, easy answers,
or instant solutions to all your problems – but there is a Person Who
lives in you, One Who has already proven Himself to be Sufficient for
Anything and Master of Everything. Let Him be Enough.
