Psalm 112:3 says that for the person who fears the Lord “wealth and riches are in his house”. God doesn’t say that this supply is outside, elsewhere or distant. No, the abundant supply is already in the house. Whatever we need is close, available, at hand.

When Moses was questioning God about his call God said to him “What’s that in your hand?” referring to his staff or rod. (Ex 4:2). When Elisha encountered a widow with a problem he questioned her saying “What do you have in the house?” (2 Kings 4:2). She replied “Just a jar of oil”. She could have said “a broken toaster” and the resources of heaven would still have been available to her to meet her need.

God’s solution is close – it just needs to be revealed. God is actually clever enough to have foreseen our situation and to have made a provision (probably several!) to meet that need. When we thank God for the resources that are already “in our house” then we set in motion the spiritual mechanism to release those resources to us.

“Thankyou Lord that you have given me everything I need. Your provision is already in my house. Your solution is there waiting. Open my eyes to see my part so that I can release your hand.”
