When God said "Let there be light", and there was light..." in Genesis 1:3, God had not created the sun yet. So where did the light come from? I have read a few possibilities from various Bible scholars. But I don't want to spend this short time looking at them.
But what I do want to do is have us look at a very important point, in our Christian lives. To those who feel self-sufficient, and to those who become impatient, and feel the need to step ahead of God, our text is a good reminder of the fact, that we need to seek God first, who is our source for our needs, and what we need to accomplish His will for our lives.
The Apostle Paul says that "God is able" He has the provisions, and the power to "make all grace abound" to us. In His time, in His strength, and in His way, He will provide that which we need. And that which He provides will be "sufficient in all things, and for all times."
As I mentioned there are those of us, who feel that we don;t need God to provide what we need, we can do it all by ourselves. And there are those of us, that can't wait for God to provide these things, so we try to provide them; and in the process, we become disappointed, because we couldn't achieve it.
We need to have faith in our divine source. Yes, we must do our part. But we must wait for the goods to come (in what ever form God provides) and then be good stewards of the grace provided to us.
When we put God's business first, He will provide what we need to get His business done!
