best representative

He rained down manna for them to eat; he gave them bread from heaven. They ate the food of angels! God gave them all they could hold.

Psalms 78:24‭-‬25 NLT

We can think that because we do not have money for what we want, we are poor,  and God does not care; we can think that because we do not have an abundance to waste we are poor. These are both wrong.

God promises to provide what we need, no more, no less. If the money is not there, then perhaps we do not need it or provision will come another way.

We tend to cultive a sense of right, a sense that we deserve what we want. Wrong! So also is the associated self-pity that travels with entitlement.

Being a child of the King requires disciple, training and responsibility. Queen Elizabeth had to recognise this. She was not her own person, neither was her family. They belonged to the people they governed. Whilst Princess Margaret bucked the system and several have since, Elizabeth reigned in her head and heart and walked as a regal queen. She will be remembered as the best Queen yet.

Be remembered as the best representative of the Lord a person encounters, be appreciated. Amen!
