Title: "Divine Provision of God”
Let the Lord be your shepherd (Psalm 23: 1)
Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding (some of you have made long list of things which are not needs but wants). In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths (Proverbs 3: 5 - 6).
God will provide, guide, direct, comfort and keep your joy untouched.
A. The Source of True Strength (Philippians 4:13):
In verse 13, Paul declares a powerful truth that has resonated with believers throughout the ages: "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." This is not a mere motivational statement; rather, it encapsulates the essence of relying on God's provision for every aspect of our lives. It's an acknowledgment that our strength is not self-generated but comes from a deep, abiding connection with our Creator.
B. God's Provision beyond Material Needs:
As we contemplate God's provision, it's crucial to recognize that His care extends far beyond material needs. While He does meet our physical requirements, His provision encompasses emotional, spiritual, and relational aspects of our lives. God provides wisdom, peace, joy, and an unshakeable hope that transcends the challenges we face.
C. The Role of Faith in Receiving God's Provision:
Faith is the key that unlocks the door to God's provision. It involves acknowledging God's sovereignty, trusting His timing, and surrendering our desires to His perfect will.
Example of Supernatural supply:
-A Widow, her child and Elijah were able to be fed supernaturally by God (Divine Provision) (1 Kings 17)
-Ravens fed Elijah (1 Kings 17)
- Water coming out of the Rock (Exodus 17:6)
- Lamb to Abraham
Conclusion:
God's provision is not limited by our circumstances. True privision is found in Christ, and He empowers us to navigate life's uncertainties with unwavering faith. Let us cultivate a spirit of gratitude for God's provision, recognizing that He is our ultimate source of strength, protection, comfort and supernatural source of supply throughout 2024.
