WHO WRITES THE CHECKS?

In Philippians 4:19-20, we read: “And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. Now to our God and Father be glory forever and ever. Amen.”

“Are we rich, Grandfather?”

“Absolutely. We have wealth we don’t know about.” He put his glasses on his Bible.

“How can we be rich and not know it?” Timmy sat on a stool by Grandfather’s chair.

“Years ago, I made a trip to Honduras. While there, I got a call from my father. Mother was ill. He needed me at home. I left Tegucigalpa and flew into Miami International Airport in the late afternoon. The next flight didn’t leave for South Carolina until five o’clock the next morning.”

“So you spent the night in a hotel near the airport?” Timmy scooted closer.

“The Airport Hotel had a room but when I opened my wallet--not enough cash. Head down, I shuffled to the waiting area. I have to spend the night here? I plopped on the seat.

“Wait a minute. I have a wonderful Lord. I'd focused on me long enough. I’m sorry, Lord. Then I remembered..."

“What? What did you remember?” Timmy moved to the arm of Grandfather’s chair.

“Travelers Checks. In my secure pocket. I’d bought them in case of emergency.”

“So you got a good night’s sleep and made it home? And your Mother?”

“When I walked into the hospital room, she was glad to see me. She recovered and I learned an important lesson.” Timmy leaned close.

“The Lord knows and supplies my needs. He writes the checks. Remember that, Timmy.”

“I will, Grandfather.”

Kingdom Thinking. According to His Riches in glory, the Lord Jesus provides for me. During this time of Covid 19, I remind myself He knows my heart and my needs. He promises never to forsake me and He loves me with an everlasting love. He offers the same to you. Won’t you come to Him?
