GOD IS OUR ONLY SOURCE.
When Abraham (our father in faith) was offered the spoils of battle, he refused them:
“I will not take… any thing that is thine, lest thou shouldest say, I have made Abram rich.” — Genesis 14:22–23
Abraham understood something that walking by faith requires: God is our only Source.
Our job is not our source.
Our education is not our source.
Our background, connections, position, talents, abilities, finances, reputation—and especially other people—are not our source.
God may use any of these things as channels, but He is always the Source. This requires a renewing of the mind, because in the natural we are taught to put confidence in what we can see.
But the Bible says:
“In Him we live, and move, and have our being.” — Acts 17:28
“Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above.” — James 1:17
“The LORD’S hand is not shortened, that it cannot save.” — Isaiah 59:1
Paul considered everything he had accomplished as loss compared with knowing Christ (Philippians 3:7–8). And he reminded us that our faith must not rest in human wisdom, but in the power of God (1 Corinthians 2:5).
Today, God is reminding us that walking by faith requires us to see truly see Him as our only source.
God is not limited by our present or our past. Jesus is "upholding all things by the word of his power" (Hebrews 1:3) and we place the limitation on him through unbelief (Mark 6:5). As we spend time in and meditating on the Word, our minds are being renewed to the realities of the Kingdom. That in turn replaces unblief with faith, because faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God (Romans 10:17), and as a result all things are possible (Mark 9:23).
He is your Source. And you can trust Him.
