Matthew 6:8 (KJV) "8 Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.
I have noticed that when people really love you they anticipate your needs. They seem to know ahead of time what you need before you do. I have a friend that thought to buy cards for all occasions and put them into a bag and had it slid into the back of my passenger seat. That bag has been an immense help and even a "lifesaver". I have even had the opportunity to share the blessing with others and surprise my husband.
Now if we human beings can think ahead to do something as minor as cards, can you fathom what God can do! He knows what we need even before we think of it. However the Lord works with the seed we sow, as in seed time and harvest.
Genesis 8:22 NIV "As long as the earth endures, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night will never cease."
As a Shepherd I look ahead to see the areas of need that the flock I pasture have. I watch my grandsons and anticipate when they are thirsty and when they need a nap. I look ahead to purchase Christmas and Birthday gifts so as to be a good steward and to find just the right item. I look ahead to the needs of my husband.
When I think about Father God and all He has done for me I am overwhelmed by His goodness. He is all powerful and whatever it is you need (I'm not talking wants) He will provide.
Today be brave. Ask big. Expect big. And most importantly give God something to work with...a seed.
