Abba's love
Title: Abba's love
[This is quite overdue- i shared this during cell group and only posted it up now :)]
Matthew 6:33 (The Message)
30-33"If God gives such attention to the appearance of wildflowers—most of which are never even seen—don't you think he'll attend to you, take pride in you, do his best for you? What I'm trying to do here is to get you to relax, to not be so preoccupied with getting, so you can respond to God's giving. People who don't know God and the way he works fuss over these things, but you know both God and how he works. Steep your life in God-reality, God-initiative, God-provisions. Don't worry about missing out. You'll find all your everyday human concerns will be met.
Ephesians 3:20 (The Message)
20-21God can do anything, you know—far more than you could ever imagine or guess or request in your wildest dreams! He does it not by pushing us around but by working within us, his Spirit deeply and gently within us.
Glory to God in the church!
Glory to God in the Messiah, in Jesus!
Glory down all the generations!
Glory through all millennia! Oh, yes!
This incident will be one by which I deeply remember God’s love and provision. Being in camp for the 2nd day, I was concerned about eating fruits as I didn’t have any the day before. What came to my mind were just apples, oranges and bananas as these are the typical fruits distributed with the rations. So, I just prayed and casted this care on the Lord.
To my surprise, as I was heading down for duty, my camp mates were taking the leftovers of a buffet for some function at my block. Wanting some good food, I headed over and took one of the Styrofoam boxes. To my delight, I saw nicely sliced cubes of the following: papaya, strawberry, watermelon, dragon fruit, honey dew and kiwi!
Abba do loves and care for me and this incident just shows that. It didn’t wasn’t coincidental that out of all the boxes my friends took, I took the one containing fruits. Praise God! Thank You Abba Father. So indeed, I can respond to God’s giving and He can do exceedingly, abundantly above all that I can ask, think or imagine.
PS: ORD in 4 months!
