My Needs Are Met
Jesus made some specific promises about meeting our needs through his riches. I don’t have to know or understand how that happens, but I do have to trust that he keeps his promises. Trusting his promises doesn’t mean I can sit around and do nothing, waiting for it to fall in my lap. I have to do my part and trust that it is enough.
I have a friend who told me about a very unusual practice his grandmother had. When she truly needed to create a touch point for a miracle, she would open her Bible to a Scripture that promised to reach that miracle. She would place her Bible on the floor and step up onto the pages of the book and pray fervently as she literally stood on the word of God. She would pray until she felt that her prayers had been heard and that God had assured her that He had placed things in motion to meet her needs. Mark swears his grandmother’s prayers in this manner brought about an answering cure when he was dying.
I’ve stood on the Word in similar circumstances. The physical act of standing on the promises increases my faith and helps me reach deeper inside to that place where I know that I know that I know that my need is met. It may look strange, and some people just don’t understand, but it brings me to the place I need to be in order to rest and wait on God. I know He is never late and seldom early. His action for me is right on time for what I need.
If you find it hard to find that place of faith, call one of our pastoral counselor and have someone pray with you. We understand what it is like to need an answering miracle from God and will be glad to pray and believe with you.
