“No temptation has overtaken you but such as is common to man, and God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will provide the way of escape also, so that you will be able to endure it.” (I Cor. 10:13).
Is it
not fan-tab-u-lous to know that God has made promises and provisions that apply
to every facet of our lives – even the very tough ones. I received
the following email from one of the staff at the Village one morning:
“Last weekend Eagle Village had run out of milk. On Saturday someone showed up at the IC (Intervention Center) saying, “We have some milk to donate. We don’t know where we should go. Can we just bring it in here? IC staff said, “Yes” and these people brought in 12 cases of individual cartons of milk. No one knows who they were or where they came from or who to thank.”
Charles Spurgeon wrote the following: “A promise from God may be compared to a bank draft. It is given to the believer with the view of bestowing upon him some good thing. It is not meant to be read over and then set aside. No, he is to treat the miracle as a reality, as man treats a check. He is to take it, and endorse it with his own name, personally receiving it as true. He is by faith to accept it as his very own.”
But with all things we must be patient and know that Father knows best. He knows our every need and is the creator of all. He is entitled to fulfill His promises exactly when and how He wants.
Studying the promises of the Bible is like drinking out of a fire hydrant. They are so powerful they knock us off our pins. But with all things there are prerequisites that open the doors to God’s provisions and miracles.

Soooo, be aware God is keeping His eye on you for he knows there is a deadly predator who is lurking in the shadows seeking that moment when he can devour you. He is relentless in his attacks but you do not have to give in no matter how sever the attack is. Our God is an
awesome God ever ready to give us the strength to be overcomers.
Blessings,
