GOD OUR PROVIDERRight from the beginning, God has provided for His people's needs. He put them in a beautiful garden and they lacked for nothing.
The Lord commanded the man, saying, "from every tree in the garden you may eat freely. But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, you shall not eat of it, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die."
Genesis 2:17
And even when Adam and Eve sinned by breaking God's commandment and realized they were naked, God still made clothes for them out of animal skins.
"And the Lord God made for Adam and his wife, garments of skins and clothed them."
Genesis 3:21
And later, when God rescued the Israelites from the Egyptian captivity they travelled in the wilderness for forty years and their shoes and their clothing never wore out.
"I have led you forty years in the wilderness; your clothes have not worn out on you, and your sandals have not worn out on your feet."
Deuteronomy 29: 5
They always had food and water, a cloud to keep them cool during the day and a pillar of fire to keep them warm at night.
Here are some more scripture verses showing God's provision for His people:
"I the Lord am your God, Who brought you up from the land of Egypt; Open your mouth wide and I will fill it."
Psalm 81:10
"The young lions do lack and suffer hunger; But they who seek the Lord, shall not be in want of any good thing."
Psalm 34:10
"Every moving thing that is alive shall be food for you: I give all to you, as I gave the green plant."
Genesis 9:
The sons of Israel went through the midst of the sea on the dry land, and the waters were like a wall to them on their right hand and on their left.
Exodus 14:22
"Come to Me all who are weary and heavy laden and I will give you rest."
Matthew 11:28
"And my God shall supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus."
Philipians 4:19
"Look at the birds of the air, that they do not sow, nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not worth much more than they?"
"And whatever we ask we receive from Him, because we keep His commandments and do what pleases Him."
1 John 3:22
These scriptures show us how much God loves us and how He provides for our every need. We cannot hope for a better Father.
It may be that you are in a bad stage of life, where you just don't know where to turn. Maybe you are in over your head financially, or emotionally, or even spiritually. I pray that these scriptures encourage you to trust in God and wait upon Him. Be sure that He has a plan for your life . He will provide for you. He will never leave you nor forsake you.
I know because I am going through a similar experience at the moment, and He is always there just when I need Him.
We don't always know what the road ahead holds for us but we can be sure when we belong to Him we do not have to know, because He is always there ahead of us. What we do have to do is Trust Him, and only Him. All else will fail. Never trust the arm of flesh. People will always fail you. God never will.
