Trusting in God alone

God provides for our every need. If we get into the habit of thinking in terms of a wage for food then we are going to always be anxious. We are always going from need to plenty. We are promised that in going through these extreme circumstances that God will provide. We are always to start in our thinking with God has made all things. Since God has made all things, for His glory and praise then He also sustains all things. So when we are in need we are not drawn to the idea that we must fix the problem ourselves but we are drawn to focus on Gods provision for us. In focusing on God providing for us we are actually acknowledging the absolute sovereignty of God. We must see that it is not necessarily our needs that are first and foremost in the way God is working out His purposes but we are one part of all of Gods purposes.
 The real anxiety buster is only experienced when we are alone and we begin to process just how God provides for our needs. God must be praised, and anxiety must be crucified by the word of God which says that He opens His hand and satisfies every living thing. It is not a group comfort that will bring about real relief, because when we are alone the anxiety will come back. It is when we understand that God is always loving, always, gracious, always kind always forgiving as a standard rule and a scriptural illumination from our minds to our hearts than that desire in our hearts will over power our anxiety. We can never understand the way the Holy Spirit works in us unless we think Gods thoughts after Him.
 The Holy Spirit will enliven and give us wisdom in our work, will conquer our enemies that do not want our needs provided, and will tear down the strongholds of philosophy in men around us and cause them to only trust in God for their provision. It is in the time when God decides to make our riches fade away like a moth eating cloth that we are really moved to place all our trust in God. Dont believe those how are always saying that you must do first before God will bless. God does all and you do all. God provides all and you work hard. God strengthens you and you having the Spirit will be driven as the apostle Paul.
