Can you believe it? Empty shelves at small grocery stores and big supermarkets. Doesn’t matter how big the store or its name. The businesses are scrambling to keep food on the shelves for the consumer.
Times are changing is an understatement. No one saw this coming nine months ago. Many of us are responding to this new reality like Gomer Pyle, “Gaaaleee!” (Parents, you may have to tell your children and grandchildren who Gomer Pyle is.)
The people in the know tell us that it all comes down to “Supply and Demand”. The consumer wants it, and the supplier is more than happy to supply it. Of course, the problem that the supplier is having now is that they can’t get the products. The results – empty shelves.
And no one is happy. The consumer wants what they want, and now that they can’t get what they want. the supplier is unhappy. He can’t provide the products. ☹
Now comes the finger-pointing. Don’t pretend you don’t know what I’m writing about. Yes, 97% of us are pointing to those who we believe are causing the problem. The other 3% are lying.
Will things get worse before they get any better? I’m not sure. But I do know this, “My God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus.” (Phil. 4:19). Notice the word in this verse, needs. It doesn’t say, wants.
Must I remind you, God promises to meet our every need. And God always keeps His word. Our salvation is trusting that God will do what He says He will do…always.
Let me ask you a personal question. Are you more concerned about the empty shelves in the grocery stores, or the empty shelves in your heart?
God so wants to fill the empty shelves in your heart. You have a need, and God can and will meet that need.
What are you waiting for? Ask Him!
To Live is Christ,
