Knowing Our Source

Scripture:

“And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.”
— Philippians 4:19

Reflection:

We live in times that can feel anything but stable. The world is changing rapidly—conflict, natural disasters, and uncertainty fill our news feeds daily. It's easy to pause and ask, "God, where are You in all of this?"

Anxiety and fear are increasingly common responses to the chaos around us. People turn to different things to cope: information overload, denial, disengagement, or distraction. Some grow weary, some grow reckless, and others simply try to keep going as best they can.

But Jesus saw these days coming. He told His disciples in Matthew 24:6, “You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen...” These are not comforting words at first, but they do offer clarity. Jesus did not want His followers to be surprised—or shaken.

What is striking is that Jesus spoke these warnings with complete peace. He was not anxious, because He trusted the Father’s bigger plan. And He invites us into that same peace—not just as a comforting idea, but as a way of life.

When the world is unstable, Jesus reminds us that God is our unshakable source. Not just of peace, but of everything we need—wisdom, provision, strength, and direction.

Paul encourages us in 2 Corinthians 9:8: “God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work.” No matter the season, our God is not lacking. And if we are rooted in Him, neither are we.

Reflection Question:

Where do you turn when uncertainty rises? Take a moment today to ask God to realign your heart. Whether it is fear, stress, or financial worry, surrender it to the One who holds it all—and holds you.

Closing Prayer:

Father, thank You that You are my source—of peace, of provision, and of every good thing. When the world feels uncertain, help me to remain grounded in You. I choose to trust You today, knowing You see the bigger picture. Let my heart find rest in Your presence. Amen.
