God Doesn't Run Out

"They drink their fill of the abundance of Your house; and You give them to drink of the river of Your delights" (Psalm 36:8).

There are things God never runs out of. Even after many centuries, His supplies are more than sufficient. In spite of the millions who have drawn from His storehouses, He still has plenty to spare.

One reason for the unending supply is that God Himself lasts forever. "Before the mountains were born or You gave birth to the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, You are God" (Psalm 90:2). Because God always has existed and always will exist, He can always provide.

Since God never changes, the resources and character that He had in time past continue in the present and will continue in the future. "Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shifting shadow" (James 1:17).

So what does God never run out of? What supplies of God are always sufficient?

God never runs out of love. "I have loved you with an everlasting love" (Jeremiah 31:3).

God never runs out of goodness. "How great is Your goodness, which You have stored up for those who fear You" (Psalm 31:19).

God never runs out of comfort or hope. "Who has loved us and given us eternal comfort and good hope" (II Thessalonians 2:16).

God never runs out of compassion. "His compassions never fail. They are new every morning" (Lamentations 3:22-23).

God never runs out of grace. "So that in the ages to come He might show the surpassing riches of His grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus" (Ephesians 2:7).

God never runs of lovingkindness (tender mercies). "Remember, O LORD, Your compassion and Your lovingkindnesses, for they have been from of old" (Psalm 25:6).

God never runs out of truth. "The truth of the LORD is everlasting" (Psalm 117:2).

God never runs out of faithfulness. "Great is Your faithfulness" (Lamentations 3:23).

God never runs out of righteousness. "My righteousness will be forever" (Isaiah 51:8).

God never runs out of light. "You will have the LORD for an everlasting light" (Isaiah 60:20).

God never runs out of the ability to bear burdens. "Blessed be the Lord, who daily bears our burden" (Psalm 68:19).

God never runs out of the capacity to be a refuge. "The eternal God is a dwelling place, and underneath are the everlasting arms" (Deuteronomy 33:27).

God never runs out of counsel. "The counsel of the LORD stands forever" (Psalm 33:11).

God never runs out of His status as King. "Your throne, O God, is forever and ever" (Psalm 45:6).

God never runs out of His dominion over the entire earth. "His kingdom will be an everlasting kingdom, and all the dominions will serve and obey Him" (Daniel 7:27).

God never runs out of power. "And what is the surpassing greatness of His power toward us who believe" (Ephesians 1:19).

God never runs out of strength. "In GOD the LORD, we have an everlasting Rock" (Isaiah 26:4).

Christ's redemptive sacrifice for us never runs out. "But He, having offered one sacrifice for sins for all time, sat down at the right hand of God" (Hebrews 10:12).

God's salvation never runs out. "He who hears My word, and believes Him who sent Me, has eternal life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life" (John 5:24).

Christ's priesthood never runs out. "The LORD has sworn and will not change His mind, 'You are a priest forever'" (Psalm 110:4).

Christ's intercession for believers never runs out. "Therefore He is able also to save forever those who draw near to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them" (Hebrews 7:25).

The Holy Spirit's ministry never runs out. "I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may be with you forever" (John 14:16).

God's Word never runs out. "The grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of our God stands forever" (Isaiah 40:8).

God's promises never run out. "So that by two unchangeable things [a promise and an oath] in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have taken refuge would have strong encouragement to take hold of the hope set before us" (Hebrews 6:18).

Is there something you need? God can take care of daily provision. "If God so clothes the grass of the field, which is alive today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, will He not much more clothe you?" (Matthew 6:30). Do you need something deeper than daily provision? "And my God will supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus" (Philippians 4:19).

"I have been young and now I am old, yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken or his descendants begging bread" (Psalm 37:25).

God has everything He needs to supply everything you need!
