15. The Supply

When I have a need, what do I reach for to supply that need? Where do I turn to for help? Many feel like they really have no one to turn to that they can trust.

David said I shall not want because the Lord is my Shepherd. He faced great times of need but the Lord was his supplier. Apostle Paul had the same testimony. “But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:19

The story is told of a certain village in another country where people starved to death one winter. It was during a time of great famine in the land. The winter was hard with a lot of snow. This village was within a few miles of another village. In the next village there was a greater supply of grain and they would have had enough to help the first village survive. However, the people in the first village supposed that the next village was in the same predicament, so they never searched further than their own village and ended up starving to death.

Within our reach is an endless supply of all that we need, but we must go to the source. The Good Shepherd has an endless supply of all we need and is eager to help us in time of need.
