Before You Ask
An RBC Ministries international colleague shared with me her
delight in serving as a translator of biblical resources. She said that
she feels greatly blessed because she has the first opportunity to be
ministered to by the teaching of God’s Word in the materials. As she
works through them, she notes, “There is always something that addresses
a need I’m facing.” Precisely when she needs encouragement from her
Lord, relevant biblical help is provided.
As she spoke, I thought of how our God faithfully cares for us in
numerous ways. In the different seasons of life, we find ourselves
facing all sorts of challenges—but we do not face them on our own. As
Christ said, “Your Father knows the things you have need of before you
ask Him” (Matt. 6:8).
In our time of need—whether spiritual, emotional, or physical—we can
depend on the faithful care and concern of the Father. He knows us so
well that He chooses the perfect time to give us what is best and to
send reassurance of His care. “Not one [sparrow] is forgotten before
God. But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Do not fear . . .
; you are of more value than many sparrows” (Luke 12:6-7).
We can trust the wisdom of His love.
My heart overflows—the grace He provides
Is just what I need for my care;
It’s all I could ask, whatever the task,
Whatever the burden I bear. —Anon.
Is just what I need for my care;
It’s all I could ask, whatever the task,
Whatever the burden I bear. —Anon.
God’s timing is always right.
