Question

Do we still know that God is able to meet and satisfy our needs even though He has no obligation to do so?
God's love is not based on our race, color, or paycheck.
God's presence is not out of range so that He is unreachable.
God has given us the Holy Spirit (who by the way is God) as a means by which we have become united with Him as a means of life.
You are a created being with worth beyond measure (psalms 139).
You have an identity and where you place this identity is key to how you answer the above question.
We have missed God amongst the hustle and bustle of life that He is in us through the Spirit yet we have forgotten the truth of His indwelling Spirit.
God is beginning to show up in our Monday Night meetings downtown and fueling a passion to know Him. The questions that burden our hearts are there so that we can place our dependency upon God to answer the void within.
God is found amist the saints who have identified themselves in Christ because it has become an awareness of the Spirit.
There is a gentleman who frequents the coffee shop who is in need, doesn't have a job, doesn't have money, and doesn't have the education it takes to find a good paying job. Does this mean that God is not fair to this individual? I certainly could be in the same situation in life if God so chose to let it happen. The point is this, I'm certainly just as dependent as this gentleman. He has a place to sleep, a place to eat, and clothes on his body. He understands that God is showing up and meeting his needs. He knows he's dependent and that every sip of coffee and food he eats is a gift of God.
quit looking for God amongst the clouds and look within and rely upon the Spirit given to you as a gift and you will begin to understand that God is working in you and through you meeting the needs whether huge or small.
