Mark 11:25-26 – “Whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone, so that your Father who is in heaven will also forgive you your transgressions. ²⁶ [But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father who is in heaven forgive your transgressions.”].”

As I read, prayed, and mused on the Word of God today, the thought of  “Supply” captured my heart.  We focus on need, and Jesus focuses on supply.  We focus on lack, and Jesus focuses on abundance. We focus on the temporal, but Jesus focuses on the eternal.  Do you see a problem?   Wrong thinking leads to wrong believing, and wrong believing leads to wrong living.

Jesus warned of the doctrines of the Pharisees and the government.   The disciples made it totally natural.  Jesus’ reminder of the feeding of the multitude twice conveyed the message – God is the Supply!  If He did this with natural bread, what might He do with the spiritual?

In Mark 11, we have the Fruitless Fig Tree.  Leaves indicate fruit.  Leaves are what can be seen.  Jesus’ response to appearance but no fruit was to reject it completely.

He used the incident as a teaching tool.  He explained miraculous faith.  Not hope but faith.  Faith has vision and expectation.  Faith sees it done!  Today, that is woefully rare. We try to believe rather than believing.

We miss the key to the supply. That is found in verses 25-26.   Forgiveness.   Not only does unforgiveness endanger our eternity, but it also limits our present.  God will not honor unforgiveness.  That would violate His nature.

Luke 6:38 is a powerful revelation of God!  What we give is what we receive. What we sow is what we reap.  In Mark 12:41-44, Jesus’ attention was captured by giving.  No, this is not about money, but it can include money.

Two kinds of giving took place.  All was proportional.  The Widow gave out of her lack.  The rich give out of their surplus.  It is far easier to give when you don’t feel the pain.  She gave all, they gave some.  She gave her life; they gave money.

Now, use Luke 6:38 here.  The proportions are important.  The essence of the gift and how it impacts the giver is important.  She gave her all, so the principle is, she will get God’s all in return.  Her lack turned into her supply. They gave a little of themselves, so a little of God will be their return.  This could be giving of anything!

Supply is connected to what we give. What we give is connected to what we believe. What we believe is connected to our relationship with Him! It flows out of our surrender! Total surrender brings total supply.

LORD, enable us to tap into the divine supply!
