Trust God, You Will Lack Nothing!

Luke 22:35  

And he said unto them, "When I sent you without purse, 

and scrip, and shoes, lacked ye any thing? 

And they said, Nothing" 

        Here at Christ parting, He wanted them to acknowledge that He had been a kind and careful Master to them ever since they left all to follow Him. "When I sent you without purse, and scrip,and shoes, lacked you any thing?  He admitted that He had sent them out in a very poor and bare condition, barefoot, and with no money in their purses, because they were not to go far, nor be out long; and that He would teach them to depend upon the providence of God.
        If God had send us out into the world, let us remember; "that better than we have begun with nothing." Christ' disciples gave all, but they had lacked nothing; they then lived as plentifully and comfortably as ever; and they readily acknowledged it: "Nothing, Lord; I have all, and abound."  It is good for us often to review the Providences of God that have been concerning us all our life, and to observe how we have got through the straits and difficulties we have met with. 
        Christ is a good Master, though His servants may sometimes be brought low, yet He will help them; and though He try them, He will not leave them. We must not complain, but be thankful, if we have had the necessary supports of life, or we have had neither prosperity or riches or we have lived from hand to mouth, and lived upon the kindness of our friends. The disciples lived upon contribution, and yet did not complain. To their Master's honour, they said that it was sufficient; they had wanted nothing. Let us all evaluate our heart's today.  "Can You Say It Was Sufficient And Wanted Nothing."  
        Amen!
