At first thought one would think it would be easy for us to differentiate who the source and distribution channel is in our lives, but is it really?. A lot of people still struggle to differentiate between the two in their lives. according to Pediaa.com a source can be defined as an origin from which something is obtained. This can be a place, person or a thing.
Using this definitions above, if I had to ask you to write down what your sources of joy, love, peace, knowledge and income is, how long would it take for you to list all the other things down before you write down God?. But you see all of the things we put our security in and all of the things we think are providing us with money such as our jobs or providing us with joy such as our spouses or friends, are not really our source what they are is resources,what they are is Channels. Believe it or not the real source is God. All the other things are just channels in which God uses to bless us or spread his love and provide for us.
James 1: 17 says that every good and perfect gift comes from above, coming down from the father of the heavenly lights, who does not change Ilike shifting shadows. So contrary to popular beliefs, our jobs are not our source of income, God is. God is not limited to our capacity, he can use different things and people to bless us. God deserves credit for all the good things we have in our lives. He is the one that moves through people to bless us, to show us love, to give us jobs, to heal us, to teach us etc. whatever good thing it is, God is the ultimate source. If you know that he is the main source ,then you don’t have to be afraid to lose the things that he has gracefully given you, because you know he is Jehovah Jireh, your provider.
So instead of putting our security in the things of the world that can be easily taken from us, let us put our trust in something that cannot be taken from us which is God, he is our real source and we can depend on him to provide for us and meet our needs according to his reaches and glory (Philippians 4 :1) and at the same time we can be grateful and content with what he has given us.
Love and light
