Provision

God's provision has been on my mind a lot lately. Recently, my hours at work got cut and I am now making $200 less a month than I have been. I have been worried about how to pay for my bills, rent., food, gas, and so on. But throughout all of this, yet again, God has captured my attention.

It says in Matthew 6: 25-27:
"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?"

I read over this and have had my mind completely changed. I know that financial provision is a big deal, but my God doesn't stop at that. You see, my God is the provider of peace. He is the provider of love. He is the provider of comfort. He is the provider of my joy. He is the provider of happiness. He is the provider of faith. He is the provider of life. 

And in a way, when I focus on the areas in my life that my provision seems to be lacking, it's as if I have completely forgotten the areas of great provision my God has given me. 


I might not have that large amount of money in savings, but I have something greater that my Father has given me. 


I have love. 
I have joy. 
I have hope. 
I have comfort. 
I have strength. 
I have family. 
I have peace. 


I have my God. 
And that is the greatest provision I could ever have.
