Provision đź’°
Luke 12:22-34 NLT
[22] Then, turning to his disciples, Jesus said, “That is why I tell you not to worry about everyday life—whether you have enough food to eat or enough clothes to wear. [23] For life is more than food, and your body more than clothing. [24] Look at the ravens. They don’t plant or harvest or store food in barns, for God feeds them. And you are far more valuable to him than any birds! [25] Can all your worries add a single moment to your life? [26] And if worry can’t accomplish a little thing like that, what’s the use of worrying over bigger things? [27] “Look at the lilies and how they grow. They don’t work or make their clothing, yet Solomon in all his glory was not dressed as beautifully as they are. [28] And if God cares so wonderfully for flowers that are here today and thrown into the fire tomorrow, he will certainly care for you. Why do you have so little faith? [29] “And don’t be concerned about what to eat and what to drink. Don’t worry about such things. [30] These things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers all over the world, but your Father already knows your needs. [31] Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and he will give you everything you need. [32] “So don’t be afraid, little flock. For it gives your Father great happiness to give you the Kingdom. [33] “Sell your possessions and give to those in need. This will store up treasure for you in heaven! And the purses of heaven never get old or develop holes. Your treasure will be safe; no thief can steal it and no moth can destroy it. [34] Wherever your treasure is, there the desires of your heart will also be.
Don’t fret or worry. God provides for His children. This year has been a trying time financially and emotionally for so many of us. Yet God has proven Himself faithful to His people. I am not saying Faith is easy. I know it is hard to just wait for God to provide but His provision is so much better than what we can do on our own. Look back on this past year. Did you go hungry? Did you have a place to rest your head?Did your bills get paid? Then guess what God provided. Sometimes we overlook Gods daily provision waiting for some big miracle. There are miracles everyday all around us. Stop trying to figure it out. If you are faithful to God in your first fruits He is faithful to you. God promised to rebuke the devour for our sake.
Reflection:
What are you struggling with? Do you have a financial need? A physical need? A spiritual need? Give it to good today. He will give you peace. He will take the burdens you were not meant to carry. Rest in your Fathers arms.
