I have promised to meet all your needs according to My glorious riches. Your deepest, most constant need is for My Peace. I have planted Peace in the garden of your heart, where I live; but there are weeds growing there too: pride, worry, selfishness, unbelief. I am the Gardener, and I am working to rid your heart of those weeds. I do My work in various ways. When you sit quietly with Me, I shine the Light of My Presence directly into your heart. In this heavenly Light, Peace grows abundantly and weeds shrivel up. I also send trials into your life. When you trust Me in the midst of trouble, Peace flourishes and weeds die away. Thank Me for troublesome situations: the Peace they can produce far outweighs the trials you endure.
And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of His glory in Christ Jesus. ~Philippians 4:19
For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. ~2 Corinthians 4:17
My thoughts:
Man do need to do some weeding! So thankful that God is my gardener and will continue to help weed all those nasty weeds when they pop up! I really need to work on making sure they stay dead so He won’t have such a tough time weeding!
I really love that verse from Philippians. Did you notice it says NEEDS not wants! Love that!!
So.. a friend of mine was/is doing a daily devotional called Jesus Calling by Sarah Young. I decided to head on over iTunes and see what they had since I had a gift card for iTunes. They had it so I got it. I really like it. The one I got is more like an app than the audible book but I still like it.
