Scripture
Reading: 2 Kings 4; Numbers 6:24-26
Provision Will Come
For
the first time in my life, when we went grocery shopping, the shelves were bare
and it wasn't because of an expected snowstorm heading our way. Out of
fear people have panicked that they wouldn't have provisions. With the
global pandemic it has caused a ripple effect on merchandise and manufacturing
that trickles down to product and sales. No product, no sales.
How are we to respond to these realities as believers?
We
are to remain in hope and trust God by reminding ourselves how He cared for
others in our situation. Throughout the Bible there are examples of how
the Lord took care of His people in various circumstances.
Repeatedly
God provided resources for the Israelites such as manna and quail when they
were in the wilderness. He sent a prophet to help a desperate widow and filled
her empty pots with oil (2 Kings 4). Jehovah fed Elijah commissioning the
assistance of ravens. By the direction
of God, Joseph set a plan during a famine and was able to feed nations.
Let
us not forget how Jesus fed multitudes with fish and bread. This same God will bless and keep you. Trust
in Him to be gracious, believing your provision will come at the right time. (cw)
“The LORD
bless you and keep you; the LORD make His face shine
upon you, and
be gracious to you; the LORD life up His countenance
upon you, and
give you peace.” (Numbers 6:24-26 NKJV)
