3. God is Self-Sufficient

Wonder:

Independence is God’s actual separateness of Being. Transcendence is God’s quality of life (Superb, Godly). Self-Sufficiency is God’s sustaining that Life totally and completely.

God’s self-sufficiency is fully sustaining his independent and transcendent quality of life.

Word:

For every beast of the forest is mine, the cattle on a thousand hills. I know all the birds of the hills, and all that moves in the field is mine.“If I were hungry, I would not tell you, for the world and its fullness are mine.

Psalm 50:10-12 ↗(ESV)

John 5:26

John 16:33

Acts 17:24-25

Walk:

God’s wonderful attribute of Self-Sufficiency should forever dispel all doubts about His ability to care for you. He is carrying you along every moment of every day. Believe it, and rejoice in His loving arms around you, dear reader. Suffering will be part of life (John 16:33), but God is more than sufficient to the suffering. We can be highly optimistic in God. Look around, and you can become pessimistic. Look up to the Self-Sufficient God Who cares for you, and your pessimism can turn to optimism.
