WHEN SOME BASIC NEED IS LACKING time, energy, money consider yourself blessed. JAM 1:2, 2COR 12:9

"WHEN SOME BASIC NEED IS LACKING — time, energy, money — consider yourself blessed. Your very lack is an opportunity to latch onto GOD in unashamed dependence. When you begin a day with inadequate resources, you must concentrate your efforts on the present moment. This is where you are meant to live — in the present; it is the place where The LORD always awaits you. Awareness of your inadequacy is a rich blessing, training you to rely wholeheartedly on GOD. The truth is that self-sufficiency is a myth perpetuated by pride and temporary success. Health and wealth can disappear instantly, as can life itself. Rejoice in your insufficiency, knowing that GOD'S Power is made perfect in weakness."

Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds. JAMES 1 : 2

And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 2 CORINTHIANS 12 : 9 (NKJV)

Prayer: God, thank You for showing up when I feel like I don’t have enough — whether it’s time, energy, or strength. Help me to lean on You instead of trying to do it all on my own. Remind me that Your power is made perfect in my weakness. Amen.
