Good News #338: Thank You, Jesus, for Always Taking Care of Me, Because of You, I Shall Never Be in Lack or Go Hungry!
Poverty is not a lack of money or resources.
It is either a lack of favor from the Lord… or a lack of divine wisdom… or a lack of protection from the devourer (the enemy who steals, kills, and destroys)… or a lack of humility to receive from Him all things.
James 1:17 says every good and every perfect gift comes down from above, from the Father of lights, with whom is no variation nor shadow of turning.
We all know that everything we see in creation is created by God and God alone. He made everything perfect, yet man fell, and so creation fell. What once was working perfectly became broken when man got corrupted… and so the ground doesn’t produce on its own anymore… man has to till it instead of just tending to what God had planted. Man has to toil to eat…
The entire creation got corrupted and broken, so it no longer works perfectly. Condemnation is upon the world… and this is why Jesus came… that He can restore back the original plan of God The Father for humanity which is that we receive from Him everything we would ever need.
Jesus came to set us free from the broken system of this condemned world… and one of the several “I Am” sayings of Jesus is that He is the bread of life… the living bread… the bread of which whoever eats of it shall never hunger and will live forever.
Now, this isn’t just spiritual bread… this is physical bread… physical food provision… which Jesus demonstrated in Him multiplying bread and fish for a crowd of five thousand (not including children and women) and a crowd of four thousand (again, not including children and women).
The gospel is this — if David was able to speak of being provided for by The Lord in the old covenant, much more can we do so in the new covenant, which is a far more superior covenant than what David has.
Those who are in Christ will never go hungry.
Jesus is the bread of life. He is the gospel.

I have been young, and now am old;
Psalm 37:25
Yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken,
Nor his descendants begging bread.
