In review of Romans 8:32 I'm reminded that, “Since he did not spare even his own Son but gave him up for us all, won’t he also give us everything else?” (NLT).
I never need to feel that I am not good enough for God or worth saving. If God gave his Son for me, he isn't going to hold back the gift of salvation. If Christ gave his life for me, he isn't going to turn around and condemn me. He will not withhold anything I need to live for him.
When I was a child, anytime I needed something, I’d talk to my dad and mom. They would figure out where the money would come from. It was only my job to ask. Likewise, It’s not my job to figure out how God’s going to provide. It’s only my job to ask.
This verse in James 4:2 reminds me, “You do not have because you do not ask God” (NIV). So, I need to worry less, and ask more. Instead of worrying, pray about everything.
Romans 8:32 says, “Since he did not spare even his own Son but gave him up for us all, won’t he also give us everything else?” (NLT).
If God has solved my biggest problem, everything else is small by comparison. If God loved me enough to send Jesus to die for my sins, shouldn’t I think he loves me enough to help me with my needs: finances, health, relationships, career decisions, solving a problem at work, or with a specific deadline?
There’s no area of my life that doesn’t interest God. He already knows what I need, but he still wants me to ask him for it. Instead of worrying, pray about everything.
In summary, God didn't spare anything to save me, I shouldn't think that he wouldn't meet any other needs I have. There is no reason to feel that I'm not good enough. He will not withhold anything I need to live for him. Also, it's not my job to figure out how God is going to provide. It's only my job to ask. Often, I may not have because I haven't asked. Instead of worrying, I need to pray about everything. There is no area of my life that doesn't interest him. God loves me enough to help me with any of my needs.
In the really big things in life, I include God, however in other area’s I don’t. I need to remember that God is willing to help with anything, if I ask.This can include confusion of priorities at work, dealing with perceived deadlines, and even unrealistic expectations. God already knows what I need, but I believe he wants me to recognize that I need to put his first. This morning Father I pray that your Spirit reminds me that I can ask you for anything. I also pray for wisdom and guidance for my day, leadership and interaction with others. I pray these things through your Son Jesus Name, Amen.
