He Will Provide

            I’ll be honest with you. I’ve been beyond stressed out with some financial issues in my life lately. Every time circumstances seemed to get better, another road block blew up in my face. Today, I even cried over it. From my perspective, nothing was or was going to get any better. But, thankfully, a dear friend reminded me of the truth: God is faithful, and He will provide.  

            My friend reminded me to think on what we know to be true, and that is that God promises to take care of His children and provide their every need. He knows my financial needs, and He will come through. Not only did my friend remind me of God’s promises, but she also prayed, in faith, for God to send someone to me with the answers. Guess what? Within 30 minutes of lifting up our hearts to my Father, He sent someone.

            Once again, God proved to me His unfailing love and provision for my life. I’ll be honest again. I don’t have all the solutions to my financial problems worked out just yet, but I know He will provide them, and regardless of the outcome, I know that God is in control and will take care of all of my needs. Therefore, I will praise Him even now. In the uncertainties that loom ahead, I will praise Him because He is good yesterday, today, and tomorrow. In Matthew 6:34 we are reminded “not to worry about tomorrow because tomorrow will take care of itself.” God has been teaching me that concept for a long time now. Sometimes I think that I must have some sort of amnesia because if I kept my focus on Christ, there would be no way to forget what He’s done. I can remember my family having $5.00 left on the night after payday with a whole week of needs hanging over our heads, but we never went without a meal or clothes to wear. He provided then, and He’ll do the same now.

            I don’t know what circumstances are looming in your horizon or are at your front door, but I do know that God is faithful. I don’t know when your financial needs will be met, but I know who will meet them.

Philippians 4:19 states, “And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus” (NIV).

Remember that promise today. He WILL provide ALL of your NEEDS. So, don’t stress and worry; they get you nowhere anyway.

Living Life Together,
