God provides

We've all probably heard it- God provides, or to trust in God to provide. But then we've all also probably have had doubts about that. We think- really, does He? Then why am I lacking this or that? Why have I been waiting so long? Why do my prayers remain unanswered?

I fit into both of those. I've heard it but I've also sadly sometimes doubted or questioned it. These past few days I was greatly reminded, God provides.


Discussing the cost of so much driving with someone, I worried about how it's financially doable. Moments later, a check arrived in the mail. God provides.

Someone wanted/needed a certain computer part in order to improve upon something at work, but the item wasn't exactly in the budget. A few days later this person found that exact item just sitting in their home, not knowing it was there. God provides.

After more days than normal being on the go, I wondered how am I going to have the strength to care for another or even do what I need to do. Though weak the day before and after, the one day I needed to be strong I was. God provides.

Again after having done more than I can handle, I asked and prayed for rest and time to recover. Suddenly plans change and I'm given 3 days of absolutely no plans. God provides.


I think these moments happen way more than we realize. Sometimes it's hard to realize it because we often look for something more. We always want more. But what if what God gives is enough. We are not to be indulgent or have gluttony, we are to be thankful, joyful and satisfied with that which we have been blessed with.

God providing is not about asking to win the lotto and then winning it (or rather being disappointed when you don't win it). God providing is not about asking to be cured of an illness and the next day waking up totally healthy. God providing is not about your own selfish desires and wishes. It is about His, even if we don't know exactly what that is. When we live in His will, when we align our desires with His, when we give it up to the Lord and accept whatever He chooses to bless us with, God will always provide. Not my will, but Yours be done. God provides.

Do you have a heart to serve Christ? Do you need the resources to do so? Do you want to advance His kingdom and walk His footsteps? God WILL provide. You only need be still and trust fully in Him.
