God's Unchanging Riches and the Secrets of His Power
WHAT is true of energy is also true of God’s riches. They are the resources of his children, and are always accessible to those who know where to find them. God is not impoverished by a drought, nor made rich by fine crops. His wealth is unchangeable. To-day he gives bountiful harvests and good wages; tomorrow his blessings are hidden by droughts and strikes. But surely his resources are not changed. The same God who can create wine for the use of man by the natural process, is just as able to turn water into wine for the use of his children when the natural supply has failed. The same God who makes the wheat grow can feed the multitude without a wheat crop, or rain manna from heaven in the desert. The supply is always at hand. God’s power is always the same, but we must learn the secrets of his power, or our work will always vary according to outward conditions, and we shall have our ups and downs like ancient Israel in the wilderness.
