A Well-Timed Help

 

Matthew 4:4 (NKJV) But He answered and said, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.’”

 

John 6:35 (NIV) Then Jesus declared, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.

 

Hebrews 4:16 (NLT) So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will receive his mercy, and we will find grace to help us when we need it most.

 

I often require a pressing need to press in to the One who can meet that need.

 

But God loves trust; it honors Him. He who trusts the most shall sorrow least. If there were continual trust there could be continual peace.- P.B. Power

 

John 6:47-51 (NIV) “I tell you the truth, anyone who believes has eternal life. Yes, I am the bread of life! Your ancestors ate manna in the wilderness, but they all died. Anyone who eats the bread from heaven, however, will never die. I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Anyone who eats this bread will live forever... 

 

  1. He Cares and He Carries
  2. He Promises and He Performs
  3. He Acts and He Accomplishes
  4. He Forgives and He Forgets

 

John 6:5 (NIV) When Jesus looked up and saw a great crowd coming toward him, he said to Philip, “Where shall we buy bread for these people to eat?”

 

John 6:6 (NIV) He asked this only to test him, for he already had in mind what he was going to do.

 

Deuteronomy 1:30-31 (NIV) The Lord your God, who is going before you, will fight for you, as he did for you in Egypt, before your very eyes, and in the wilderness. There you saw how the Lord your God carried you, as a father carries his son, all the way you went until you reached this place.”

 

Isaiah 46:3-4 (NIV) “Listen to me, you descendants of Jacob, all the remnant of the people of Israel, you whom I have upheld since your birth, and have carried since you were born. Even to your old age and gray hairs I am he, I am he who will sustain you. I have made you and I will carry you; I will sustain you and I will rescue you.”

 

Psalm 57:2-3 (NASB) I will cry to God Most High, to God who accomplishes all things for me. He will send from heaven and save me…

 

Psalm 119:81 (NIV) My soul faints with longing for your salvation, but I have put my hope in your word.
