God’s Divine and Abundant Provisions
Reflection By: Rowena B. Yost
“And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:19 NIV
God knows our every need, even before we tell him, and He promises to provide for all our needs. He intends for everyone to thrive economically by finding basic provisions for our daily lives. conversely, He also desires for us to enjoy the abundance of his generosity. Furthermore, God’s world has ample resources to provide all we need. However, many people do not experience God’s abundant provision. Others may find their needs are met, but only at a great cost to themselves and those around them.
God doesn’t bless us because we’re such deserving people. He blesses us because He loves us infinitely. In fact, He gave us His Son, Jesus. If we’re in Him, then we’ve got connections in high places! When we put our faith in Christ, God commissions himself to protect, provide, and care for us. He wants us to reintroduce into our thinking and understanding unshakeable confidence that the Lord is God. He is the giver of all good gifts and he is our provider.
With this, let me share four (4) important encouragements about how God provides and cares for us. (1.) God provides abundantly for all our material, emotional and spiritual needs; (2.) God provides for our needs in His timing, not ours; (3.) God provides in ways we would never expect; and (4.) God provides for us through grace, not through merit.
PRAYER
Lord God, I know that You have plans to prosper us and give us all our needs accordingly. We give thanks for our many blessings every day especially those that we receive unexpectedly. We place our worries, cares, and troubles into Your wisdom Father. Lord, pour out your peace, generosity, tranquility, and love upon us daily. In Jesus’ mighty name we pray. Amen.
