“We are living a life of faith, and not one of sight.”
(II Cor. 5:7 – World English Bible)

MAN’S LIMITATIONS

There are times when we are left with few options and all avenues have detour signs that seemingly lead to nowhere. Even our abilities and resources can become limited. What we have gained to sustained us yesterday and sustain us today may not be sufficient for tomorrow. So many are limited in their human ability as to what they have and can achieve. According to the scripture, in the day of prosperity we are to rejoice, but in the day of adversity we are to consider (Ecc. 7:13-14). Consider that God often exposes us to both days so that we will never have confidence solely in our health, resources, and abilities (vs. 14)! It would be our wisdom to realize that our sufficiency comes from God alone (II Cor. 3:5).

A LIFE OF FAITH AND THE UNLIMITED GOD!

Every hand raised in the photo above has needs and God knows about every need (Mt. 6:31-34). Whatever occupation, skill, or trade a person may have — God is the One who provides for every individual on earth (Ps. 145:16). He is the One sustaining us and, if we belong to Him, we clearly understand that our abilities to sustain our lifestyles are dependent upon our faith in God! He gives us income and resources. God is the One who seals the deals and put people in place to give us resources, income, and contracts. With these things in mind, let us not be anxious about tomorrow. Let’s believe God, because our faith can turn around unfavorable situations! We are not to worry about income and deals…because…”we are living a life of faith, and not one by sight” (II Cor. 5:7).

Instead, pursue his kingdom, and these
things will be given to you as well.
