My God shall supply all your need
according to His riches in
glory by Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:19
NKJV
“Where do you shop for groceries?” my friend asked.
She frowned. “Why so many different places? Why not settle on one store? Or even two. Sounds too complicated and time-consuming.”
My response was immediate. “Because I can’t get everything I
want in one place, even online. Each store has certain items that I can't get anywhere else. For me there is no such thing as one-stop
shopping when it comes to material items. I’m willing to go out of my way to
get what I want or need."
The good news is I don’t have to go out of my way when it
comes to mental, emotional, and spiritual needs. As the song says, “where could
I go but to the Lord?”
God has many names including El Shaddai (the all-sufficient
One) and Jehovah Jireh (my provider). He is my creator and sustainer. My healer
and my strength. My wisdom. My counselor. My protector. My peace and my joy. He is everything I
could ever want or need. The total package. I need not look anywhere else.
That’s one-stop shopping at its best.
