He Gives Food to the Hungry

What on Earth is God Doing?

By William M. Self, Sr.

 

 

God supplies enough food every day to feed the world

But we waste it and withhold it

God said, “When I was hungry you gave me something to eat”

God identifies with every hungry person

 

He Gives Food to the Hungry

On the third day of creation,

God took care of the hunger issues.

He created seed bearing plants that were

pleasant to look at and good for food.

God set in motion the multiplication of food.

Think of how many seeds a fruit tree

or a single stalk of corn produces.

After God put man in charge,

of all He created, He said He gave

man every seed and fruit bearing tree.

   

God never intended for man to go hungry.

Man was responsible to take care of the plant

and animal kingdoms on the earthly level.

God from a heavenly level

provides water and sun.

Together man and God are able to produce

enough food for the world’s needs.

I was told many years ago when gold was

 around $35 an ounce that there was not enough

 gold in the world to feed all the birds for one day.

Yet, our heavenly Father feeds them every day.

There is not a hungry person in the world God

does not put Himself in that person’s place.

When God comes in His glory, the

first thing He is going to do is look

for those who feed the hungry.

“Truly I tell you, in so far as you did it for one

of the least [in the estimation of men] of these

 My brethren, you did it for Me.” Matthew 25:40 AMP   

The fast God has chosen is to help us

identify with the hungry so we will be

 reminded to feed them. Isaiah 58:6-7

China wastes 19 of every 100 pounds of grain.

The United States wastes about 40 percent of

food crops according to one recent report.

Most of us as Americans overeat.

It is not that God has not provided

 food for the hungry…

It is that we squander it and withhold it.

If you want to know what God

is doing, He is feeding the

hungry and we should join Him.

If a person goes hungry, it is not God’s fault.

Are you helping or hurting God’s

cause to feed the hungry?
