“Your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things.” Luke 12:30

Many of us have experienced that again and again God has controlled us through money matters. When we have been in the center of his will, supplies have been sure; but as soon as we have been out of vital touch with him, they have become uncertain.

In his own work God must have the sole direction. At times we have fancied God would have us do a certain thing, but he has showed us it was not his will by withholding the financial means to do it. So we have been held under the constant direction of the Lord, and such direction is most precious. If we ceased to be dependent on him, how could such trust be developed? Our living by faith must be absolutely real. We must keep our eyes fixed on the unchanging God whose grace and faithfulness continue forever.
