Reading this, at first I thought: But how would anybody know which goods and services were needed and how many?

Then it dawned on me that these ideas come from a long-established school of economic thought:

God Always Knows Just What We Need

How great is our God! He always knows just what we need and His timing is perfect. Sometimes when our needs are so great and we pray and seek the face of God, sometimes we don’t get what we need or want. We wonder how we’re going to get through this? How is this going to work out? Sometimes we feel so helpless and hopeless.

Then we go to the house of God; and everything seems clear. We hear the voice of God and we breath a sigh of relief because we know that God will take care of everything. When we feel His Spirit touch us and minister to us, we feel His peace and we know somehow, some way, everything will turn out alright.

I’m so glad I went to church today. God came in and took over…and we let Him. Now, I don’t feel so hopeless. Now, I feel everything will work out okay. I don’t know how things will work out, but I have faith that God knows and that’s all that matters.

God always knows just what we need, and today He gave those of us who went to church, just that. Today, He gave us enough faith and encouragment to keep on going and not quit, no matter what. Today He let us know how much He cares about us and how much He is in control.

“Thank You, God, for meeting us today in Your house. I love You!”
