*THE LAMP DEVOTION*
*FRIDAY AUGUST 9*
*SOURCE NEVER RUNS DRY*
*Psalm 145:14-16*
_14 The Lord upholds all who fall and lifts up all who are bowed down. 15 The eyes of all look to you, and you give them their food at the proper time. 16 You open Your hand and satisfy the desires of every living thing._
It is common to hear scientists and futurists talk about the future and warn about the possibility of the earth’s resources getting depleted. They use empirical statistics, and make projections on their computers and then come up with some threatening proposals. Sometimes with these they hold everyone at ransom, and create panic in the hearts of many.
We can understand them. They are just making use of the limited knowledge they have acquired. The truth still remains unchanged, that the earth is the Lord’s and the fullness of it. God knew how long this earth will last before He recreates the new heaven and earth that is clearly established in the biblical scriptures. He has not left the earth exclusively in the hands of man. Man is struggling to preserve God’s creation, but God still has the future of the earth under His control. This means for as long as the earth remains, there will be enough resources for humanity. That is how come He satisfies the desires of every living thing, including His highest creation – man.
God knows all we will need for the next 30 years if Jesus tarries. There are resources that we have not yet discovered. We do not know or understand the process God has set in place to replenish the earth’s resource we deplete by the activities we engage in. God owns all things and He certainly will continue to be our Provider for as long as the earth lasts. That is guaranteed.
*Prayer*
1. Celebrate the God of all creation, the source of every good thing that man needs to survive and live on this planet.
2. Ask for faith and obedience, and the ability to walk in His ways which are higher than our ways.
3. Father, our knowledge and understanding is limited. Please help us take your word and run with it.
*Declarations*
I acknowledge my heavenly Father, the creator and the guaranteed Source of all things I will ever need while I live on this earth. I know Elohim never fails and so I shall not want. He knows my needs and will supply them according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. Therefore, I shall never lack as long as I put my confidence in Him in the name of Jesus.
