All We Need We Have- Part 2

When the Lord gives us a work to do, let us not stop to inquire into the reasonableness of the command, or the probable result of our efforts to obey.

The supply in our hands may seem to fall far short of our needs, but in the hands of the Lord it will be more than sufficient.

The servitors set it before them and they did even left thereof according to the word of the Lord.

We should have a fuller sense of God's relationship to those whom he has purchased with the blood of his only begotten Son.

We should exercise faith in the onward progress of the work of the kingdom of God.

Let us waste no time in deploring the scantiness of our visible resources, but let us make the best use of what we have.

Now, there's several words there that we want to study.

Let us waste no time in deploring, feeling bad about, wishing something were different.

Let us waste no time in deploring the scantiness of our visible resources.

If we're going to build a building, lumber, cement, mortar, glass, those are what?

Resources are not the building, they're what we use to make the business.

That's what we are tempted to murmur about, isn't it?

If When our eyes are open like Elisha's servants were and we see the chariots of fire and horses of fire all around the city, then do we cry?

All Elisha's servants saw was Elisha and himself the servant.

And he said, Alas, my master, how shall we do?

And Elisha said, don't worry about that because there's more with us than those that are with them.

Now I don't know whether Elisha saw the angels there or not, but he knew they were there But the young man didn't and so he was hot He was deploring the scantiness of the visible resources Now dear friends, I'm greatly impressed with something.

I shared it with you Friday night and I'm sharing it again with you tonight.

God is training workers on this campus to go all over the world and do impossible things.

And the way to do that is to have as much help as possible in every department, have the best equipment in every department, and the money to pay all the bills.

That's the best way to train workers to go out where the money is less and the workers are fewer and the equipment less and do a great work.

But I'm not sure it has dawned upon us the connection between the 2 things.

We are tempted at times to think that something is wrong either with somebody else or with us.

If we can't see all that we need to get a certain job done.

Some of us are tempted more to blame other people and Some of us are tempted more to blame other people and some of us are tempted more to kick ourselves around the block.

Some stones he picked up and broke and the slingshot he had in his pocket.

He had a pocket, otherwise wrapped around his arm.

My dear friends, what we need at Wildwood is not the equipment of Loma Linda or Kettering.

God bless them and the work they're called to do.

But Wildwood is not to be agriculturally, medically, educationally, construction-wise, evangelistically, any other way.

It is not to be a place where all kinds of equipment and a wonderful number of personnel Do something that is marvelous and machines and men get the credit.

If God is training workers to go out to Africa, to go to Canada, to go to other places whose names we don't yet know, and open work in new territory with few resources.

Do you students, do you want to be challenged?

Well, tell the Lord you're willing to be challenged and God will give you the opportunity in your own personal experience of meeting emergencies, financial, health-wise, trying to do a job when you don't have the tools you think you need and so on, all kinds of emergencies and opportunities to develop in you faith and initiative, ingenuity in doing what you can with what you have where you are.

Remember that the early church starting with 12 men carried the message to the whole world in less than 40 years and they did it without a telephone without a telegraph Without a radio, no TV, no automobile, no automobile, not even a jet plane?

And folks, we could plaster the wall with the list of the inventions they didn't have.

And as I said Friday night, the last sheaves that are going to be gathered in this world are going to be gathered with a handsickle.

Men and women and youth filled with the Holy Spirit are going to work hand to hand, heart to heart on a one-to-one basis.

Now we will not get from where we are to that overnight, but, O, I trust that we shall appreciate this fact.

Christ works through those who discern mercy in misery, gain in the loss of all things.

When the light of the world passes by, privileges appear in all hardships, order in confusion, the success and wisdom of God in that which is seemed to be failed." If you want that statement, it's in Volume 7, the chapter addressed to the teachers in our schools.

But now let's come back to my sentence I'm studying here.

Though the outward appearance may be unpromising, energy and trust in God will develop resources.
