Who is your supplier?

I am now out of the hospital after a 2 week stay.  During that time one has a lot of time to think and ponder things.  It would be very easy to get discouraged. It would be very easy to lose sight of Who is in charge. It would be very easy to lose faith.  I, by no means am a superwoman. I can just as easily get as discouraged as the next. But I fight very hard not to. I do not want to give up or give the enemy room to move in.
While I was doing a devotional one morning, Philippians 1:19 came up. “For I am well assured and indeed know that through your prayers and a bountiful supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ (the Messiah) this will turn out for my preservation (for the spiritual health and welfare of my own soul) and avail toward the saving work of the Gospel.”
‭‭Philippians‬ ‭1:19‬ ‭AMP
This spoke strongly to me. Who am I trusting for my supply?  Where does my supply come from? Jesus!  He is our wealthy Benefactor.  Do we even tell Jesus what is on our mind, what concerns we might have? Do we ask Him to fill our void?  He likes to hear from us.  He wants to have a conversation with us. He doesn't want it to be a one sided conversation. He would like to share with us what He has in mind for us. It may totally surprise us. And it may not be all about us.  He may desire to use us in our present situation to reach someone else.  That's right, while laying in a hospital bed, Jesus may want to use you.
That morning, as I prayed, I asked Jesus to take care of me. But I also asked Him to use me for His glory. Did I know His plan, and how this would happen, no.  But I know what the Word of God says. He is my supplier, and He will use me to glorify Himself, and reach others. That is a loving God, who cares about our every situation and loves all of us beyond measure.
The next time you are facing a difficult situation in your life, take a moment to talk with Jesus, listen to what He has to say, and trust Him to be your supplier. He will not disappoint.
