The Box

"And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus."
Philippians 4:19



Growing up, my mom always had cats in the house. One thing I have noticed about cats, is that they like to play. There have been times, when we have had an empty box laying around, and somehow, the cat jumped into the box.

While it was cute to watch, I can't help but think that is how some of us live our lives. We jump into an empty box, before we even entertain the first thought about how we are going to get out. So we jump and we jump and expend all this time and energy, going nowhere.

God's Word promises that He will supply all our need, according to HIS riches. It doesn't even suggest any human involvement, by means of human intellect or material resources. Because the fact is, no matter how hard we try, we cannot meet our needs. Only God can, if we let Him.

As we go through our days here on this earth, let us spend time aligning our hearts with God's, and allowing Him to be the guiding force in our life. Let us allow Him to lead and guide us in what we are doing today, and who we are going to talk to, and where we are going. Let's not be like the cat inside the empty box. God is big enough to handle our circumstances. All He wants us to do, is allow Him into our lives, and for us to let Him be Lord and Savior. Let's take Him up on His Word. Let's allow God to be God, and not put Him in a box.
