Beats From Your Pastor’s Heart
Philippians 1:19, “For I know that this shall turn to my salvation through your prayer, and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,”
The very nature of the Christian life requires that we spend time with the Lord, because the Christian life is a supplied life.
It is a life that is supplied to us.
It has nothing to do with our own resources or any potential in ourselves.
It has everything to do with our opening up to Another life to be supplied by that life from beginning to end.
The Christian life is a life that has been prepared for us and is then furnished to us by God.
He intends to continually supply Himself to us.
It is for this reason that we need to spend time with the Lord–to receive the supply.
When we hear the truth from the Scriptures or from others, we may take it as a personal demand upon us and feel threatened.
We may think, “I’m not like that. I could never do that. I can’t imagine that I could ever feel that way. I just can’t live up to that.”
With these kinds of thoughts and feelings, if we do not realize that the Christian life is a supplied life, we may conclude that this life is not for us and give up.
But listen to this.
Every word that God has spoken in the Bible, whatever it is, whatever apparent demand it brings, God wants to supply that very thing into our being.
It is not that we are expected to “measure up,” or come up with the ability to perform in ourselves.
No, God intends to continually supply Himself to us.
We must understand the Christian life in this way–it is a supplied life.
From beginning to end, it is supplied to us.
And this supply comes to us and is dispensed into us in a very special and enjoyable way–by spending time with the Lord.
Until Tomorrow
With A Shepherd’s Love,
Pastor Jackson
