Because God has planned our path, we will be fully resourced at every step. We all need resources, whether it’s money, knowledge, opportunity, or whatever. In his letter to the Philippians, the apostle Paul writes, “And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:19, ESV). As someone once said, “God’s work will never lack God’s resources.” There’s nothing wrong about being aware of our situation. Only a fool shuts his eyes to reality. But on what do we base our hope? If we are only trusting in what we see, there may be times when we lose hope entirely. But if we are trusting in Jesus, we have additional data, which though it is invisible to the naked eye, is altogether reliable, trustworthy, and true. This is the rock of faith on which we stand.
