1 Corinthians 15:57
Thanks to the Lord, Jehovah Jireh, for His abundant provision. He shall supply ALL of our needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus! (Philippians 4:19)
There is a story of a pastor walking down the street and as he passed a rickety, little shack, he heard a voice saying in wonderment, over and over. "All this, and Jesus, too!" Not being able to pass by without satisfying his curiosity, he peeked in the window. At a meager table knelt a withered, old man,his body ravaged by years in the mines. In his coal-stained hands, he held a piece of bread and before him was a small bowl of very thin porridge. The dear saint lifted his eyes and hands toward heaven and once again exclaimed, with deep adoration and thankfulness, "All this, and Jesus, too!"
May the Lord give us the grace to see just how richly we have been blessed and to lift our hearts to Him in thanksgiving and adoration. If we are the Lord's, if we are trusting in Jesus, is there really anything else that is necessary?
