All Inclusive

Exodus 3:13-14 “Then Moses said to God, “Indeed, when I come to the children of Israel and say to them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you,’ and they say to me, ‘What is His name?’ what shall I say to them?” Vs. 14 And God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM.” And He said, “Thus you shall say to the children of Israel, I AM has sent me to you.”

Travel agencies often will offer vacation packages that are called “all inclusive.” At the time when reservations are being made, the travel agent explains what is included with the “all inclusive” package, meaning there will be no additional out of pocket expense once the trip is paid for.

The God of this universe is “all inclusive,” being all that a person needs. He is, “All powerful, All knowing“ and “All present.” There is no need to worry about having any additional “out of pocket expenses” with God.

No matter what you endure throughout the day, God is able to be whatever you need Him to be:

If you have been betrayed, God can be trusted Proverbs 3:5-6

If you are sick, God can heal you. Isaiah 53:5

If you have a need, God can supply it for you. Philippians 4:19

If you are hurting, God can mend it. Acts 18:10

If you are weak, seek God for strength. 2nd Corinthians 12:9-10

If you are under attack, God can protect you. Psalms 91:1

If you feel all alone, God is always there. Hebrews 13:5

If you need peace, God can grant it. Philippians 4:7

If others doubt you, God believes in you. Jeremiah 29:11

If others do not know what you can do, God has a plan just for you. Jeremiah 1:5

If you wonder why, know God has a purpose for you. Romans 8:28

If you desire direction, God has your steps ordered. Psalms 37:23

“I thank you God for being all inclusive supplying every need that your people have, in Jesus name…Amen!

“One Day At A Time”

When a person is worrying, they are focusing their thoughts on the possible negative outcome of something that they no control over.

Matt 6:34 “Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble. (NKJV) 

Worrying can allow a person to become distracted about what is happening at the present time, and give way to experiencing negative feelings or uncertainty over the outcome of a potential problem.

Fear, anxiety, stress, disrupted sleep, exhaustion, irritability, and headaches are just a few examples of what can be caused by worry.

Worrying affects both the mind and body, and no amount of worrying will change the outcome of what a person is worrying about.

Worrying can be a way of showing that we don’t trust that God is in control of our lives, and everything that is going on around us. God has positive thoughts and positive plans for us.

Jeremiah 29:11″For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” (NIV)

When we put are faith and trust in God, there will be no need to worry about what is happening presently, or what will happen in the future.

Matthew 6:33 “But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.” (NKJV)

When we put our focus on God, seeking His kingdom and His righteousness, there is no need to worry about anything.

No matter how it may look or seem, how someone else sees it, or what others may say…we can stand on the word of God.

Romans 8:28 “And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.”(KJV)

O God, thank you for your plans to prosper your people and give them hope with a future, and as in the KJV of the bible, the word worry will not be in our vocabulary, in Jesus name…Amen!

God is still in control and always will be Sovereign

2^nd Timothy 1:7 “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and a sound mind.” 

Fear and anxiety are two of the enemies’ weapons, and can take control of what a person thinks or how they feel, especially if they take their focus off of God.

The more a person struggles with fear, the more likely they will be overwhelmed by it, thus allowing fear to take control over choices and decisions that need to be made.

Reading and hearing the word of God will give the believer power, love and a sound mind to overcome any fears or anxiety that someone may be experiencing.

2 Corinthians 4:16-17 “For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day. ¹⁷ For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;“

Believers cannot afford to get caught up in worldly views of what is going on around them. The decision that has to be made is to walk by faith and not by sight.

2nd Corinthians 5:7 “For we walk by faith, not by sight.”

God still is protecting His people, He is a refuge.

Psalm 46:1“God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.”

God can bring joy to the soul during tough times

Psalm 94:19 “When anxiety was great within me, your consolation brought joy to my soul.”

Believers have to continue to pray, give thanks and keep their focus on God.

Philippians 4:6-7 “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”

“Lord Jesus, You said in your word “All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.” In spite of what it may look like, or what happens, we your people will continue to walk by faith, believing that You are sovereign and still in control. My prayer is that on a daily basis, your people will continue to acknowledge You in their lives. You made provision in the wilderness for forty years, and continue to make provision now each and every day. May we always give You praise, glory and honor that only You rightly deserve. May your people continue to walk by faith in you and have no fear of what they see or hear about conditions going on around them, in Jesus name…Amen!”
