"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!
