Oct 30.97: Light For The Day - "Man Hungers ... God Supplies"

"And my God will supply every need of yours
according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus."
-- Philippians 4:19 (RSV)

"Man Hungers ... God Supplies"

Man hungers for food, and God sends the sun and
rain upon the golden fields of grain. The grain is
made into flour, and flour into bread, and man's
physical hunger is satisfied. Man hungers for love;
and God ignites the fire of affection in another heart,
and two hearts are made complete in the bonds of
holy matrimony. 

Man hungers for knowledge, and God raises up
institutions of learning, calls men to be instructors,
puts it into the hearts of the rich to endow them; and
men are satisfied in their thirst for knowledge.
Man hungers for fellowship; and God allows him to
build cities where men can share their neighborhood,
their industry, their knowledge, and their skills.

Don't tell me that God can supply man with an
abundance of everything material and yet will let
him starve spiritually!

... God will satisfy the hunger and thirst of those who
desire His righteousness, because He loves the
world with an undying affection.

-- Billy Graham

Prayer:
You have abundantly supplied my greatest need,
heavenly Father, for You have given me loves.

"And God is able to provide you with every blessing
in abundance, so that you may always have enough
of everything and may provide in abundance for
every good work." -- 2Corinthians 9:8 (RSV) 

-----------

"The LORD is my shepherd,
I shall not be in want. 
He makes me lie down in green pastures,
He leads me beside quiet waters, 
He restores my soul. He guides me in paths
of righteousness for His name's sake. 
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow
of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me;
your rod and your staff, they comfort me. 
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. 
Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever."

-- Psalms 23:1-6 (NIV) -
