The Source.

We depend on the sun to give us light each day, and the moon’s glow to give us light at night. We depend on food and water to keep us alive each day.  But there’s one source that gives us life, a resource available that is never ending. God.

By keeping our eyes on God as our source, we will find that we’ll never lack anything.  On the other hand, if we depend on people to meet our needs, and we place our dependence on people as our source, this opens the door for anger and disappointment.

Let’s not dismiss the fact that God uses other people to help meet our needs.  Let’s keep our expectations on God to avoid unnecessary frustration, disappointment and anger with people.

We need to help each other and bear one another’s burdens, and we need to love our neighbors as we love ourselves, but we can only be a resource of the one Source – God.

2 Kings 4:6-7: – “When the jars were full, she said to her son, “Bring me another jar.” And he said to her, “There is not one jar left.” Then the oil stopped flowing.  She came and told the man of God. And he said, “Go and sell the oil and pay what you owe. You and your sons can live on the rest.”
