All the men of God in the Old Testament and New

Testament trusted in God's faithfulness. For instance, the Psalmist prayed “Answer me, LORD, out of the goodness of your love; in your great mercy turn to me.

Do not hide your face from your servant; answer me quickly, for I am in trouble. Come near and rescue me; deliver me because of my foes” (Psalm 69.16,17). Let us pray with the same desire that God in His great mercy answers us and delivers us from every kind of challenge in life. It is the mercy of God that adds blessings to our lives. The Bible says “He redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion” (Psalm 103.4). God nullifies the wise and the strong, God is pleased in the humble hearted who trust in God's faithfulness. God does not require the well qualified whereas, He qualifies the unqualified and uses them powerfully with His Spirit. What we need at this hour is trusting in the faithful Spirit of

God's due time God feeds His creation in the Universe.

“The eyes of all look to you, and you give them their food at the proper time” (Psalm 145.15). In the due season when God opens His heavenly treasure, man's life is filled with God's blessings. “The Lord will open the heavens, the storehouse of his bounty, to send rain on your land in season and to bless all the work of your hands. You will lend to many nations but will borrow from none” (Deuteronomy 28.12). God is the one who gives the seasons of harvest. The Bible says neither say they in their heart, let us now fear the LORD our God, that giveth rain, both the former and the latter, in his season: he reserveth unto us the appointed weeks of the harvest” (Jeremiah 5.24).
