Just in Time...

I don't believe in coincidences. You may disagree with me and that is perfectly fine. But I really don't believe in coincidences because I don't believe that anything on this earth just happened by chance. I believe that everything we see or experience is on purpose and with a plan.  This morning I FINALLY picked up my bible, it has been a while and I am working on consistency.  Wouldn't you know it, two different verses just popped out as I was reading and smacked me right in the face!! I love God's gentle ways!!
Here is the first verse and my realizations with it:
1 Kings 15:11&14 (Stick with me on this one, ok?)  11-Asa did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, as his father David had done. 14-Asa's heart was fully committed to the Lord all his life.
Now normally I am not a huge fan of the Old Testament but I love the bible and I know God speaks to me personally through every word. What struck me as I was reading this passage was how Asa had to clean out some things and get rid of the garbage that his ancestors had been collecting.  What dawned on me is that I have been collecting garbage in my own heart that I need to fully clean out and start fresh and when I do that, I make room for the new, good things God has for me. Asa then was able to fully commit to God all his life, because he made room for God. I want that!! 

The second verse which is in the New Testament (I chose the Amplified version) is a very familiar verse, but I thought it went along with the above verse, kind of a reminder then a promise for me. The second verse is:
Philippians 4:19 (Amp) - And my God will liberally supply (fill to the full) your every need according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus. 
What was so encouraging to me here are the words I underlined, MY GOD, what a possessive and powerful statement, God is Ours!! And then that He promises to supply EVERY NEED.  Does that mean He is promising me we will win the lottery, NO.  But He is promising to take care of all that I NEED.  And what I do know about God is that He never breaks His promises!!

That's my thoughts on this beautiful morning, be encouraged!!
