Amazing Love! He Knows our Needs Before we Ask
Your Father knoweth what
things ye have need of, before ye ask him. Matt. 6:8
If God, the divine artist, gives to the simple flowers, that perish in a day, their
delicate and varied colors, how much greater care will He have for those who are created in His own image? ... If men love
and obey God, and do their part, God will provide for all their wants. ... No man can add one cubit to his stature, no matter
how solicitous he may be to do so. It is no less unreasonable to be troubled about the morrow and its needs. Do your duty,
and trust in God; for He knows of what things you have need. . . . He watches over us with more tenderness than does a mother
over an afflicted child.... God is a friend in perplexity and affliction, a protector in distress, a preserver in the thousand
dangers that are unseen to us.
God dwells in every abode; He hears every word that is spoken,
listens to every prayer that is offered, tastes the sorrows and disappointments of every soul, regards the treatment that
is given to father, mother, sister, friend, and neighbor. He cares for our necessities, and His love and mercy and grace are
continually flowing to satisfy our need. . . . In His care we may safely rest.
God
helps the feeble, and strengthens those who have no strength. In the fields where the trials and the conflicts and poverty
are the greatest, God's workmen must have increased protection. To those laboring in the heat of the conflict, God says, "The
Lord is thy shade upon thy right hand."
Our Lord adapts Himself to our special needs.
He is a shade on our right hand. He walks close by our side, ready to supply all our necessities. He comes very near to those
who are engaged in willing service for Him. He knows every one by name. O what assurances we have of the tender love of Christ.
