With God We Lack Nothing!

There truly is so much to be thankful for.  I know people say this a lot, but it’s so true!  Recently I’ve found that what I focus on, becomes really big in my life.  So if I focus on all that God is doing in my life, then God sits at the forefront of my mind.  If I choose to focus on all the things that aren’t going as planned, then that has the possibility of sitting at the forefront of my mind also.  Today I was reading Deuteronomy 2:7 and the second part of the verse really spoke to me, it says, “These forty years the Lord your God has been with you; you have lacked nothing” (NKJV, Deuteronomy. 2.7).  I don’t think we realize that when we decide to walk with Jesus, we have everything that we will ever need.  Seriously, everything!  One of the ways that I remind myself of all that God has done, is doing, and will do, is when I think about where I would be without Him, and that leaves me speechless.  Without God I would not exist, none of us would, without Him we literally are left with nothing.  Friends we must realize that without God we have nothing, but with Him, we have absolutely everything that we will ever need.  The Lord does so much more than we often think of, take breathing for instance.  If the Lord decided to hold His breath, the entire world would cease to exist.  He is our friend, provider, protector, keeper, sustainer, and Lord of Lords.  So this Thanksgiving, I want to challenge you to focus on all that God has given you, and trust that His will, plan, and purpose for your life, is all you will ever need. Happy Thanksgiving!
