Piece Meal and Leftovers

Have you ever thought about the fact that God gives no leftovers? At our house leftovers are used on a regular basis if a big meal is prepared or we are fortunate enough to have visited a friend and taken some home.

He doesn't tell us that only a little bit of peace is available when we trust in Him. He doesn't dole things out piece meal and give us a cup full of trust today..."Oh, and I'll give you that hope you asked, but only a portion, and you'll have to wait until next Tuesday to get it."

Praise God! He is so faithful to answer by the bucket loads. I know, it does seem sometimes that we barely have enough hope/faith/trust/you fill it in______ to hang on, but God knows what we need. I am thankful He doesn't have to go to the fridge and stand there for 5 minutes thinking about what He will give us for nourishment. May we always have a "peace meal" knowing that God gives us exactly what we need.

When we are faithful to follow Him, He is faithful to sustain us. That's where I am today. Resting in His sustaining Grace. Thankful He will never give up on me.

"I write these things to you so that you may know that you have eternal life, you who believe in the name of the Son of God. And we have this confidence in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us in regard to whatever we ask, we know that what we have asked Him for is ours." 1 John 13:15
