The Great Provider
Pastor W.F Kumuyi
Text: Psalm 145:16
"Thou openest thine hand, and satisfiest the desire of every living thing"
Watching a documentary of wild life, one is stunned by the wisdom displayed by a lioness, for instance, ambushing a prey in order to feed her family. While one feels pity for the unsuspecting and defenseless prey that eventually gets strangulated, one must not lose sight of the fact that it is God who also feeds these animals of the wild. God equips the predators with superior wisdom by which they outwit their preys in order to survive and reproduce their kind. Equipped with this understanding of life, a true child of God should, therefore, be "careful for nothing" (Philippians 4:6), but prayerfully trust God to meet all needs at all times. The Bible is replete with divine promises to meet all our material, emotional and spiritual needs, provided we "ask in faith, nothing wavering" (James 1:6).
Jehovah Jireh, is our Great Provider. He provided manna and meat in the wilderness; He provided for Elijah during a three and a half year period of famine in Israel. Live holy and hold God to His promises for your needs.
Challenge: Forsaking All I Trust Him (FAITH).
Prayer: Help me to trust thee, O LORD, to supply all my needs.
Quote: Hold God to His promises for your needs
