God Provides, Pt. 2

If God is all-powerful, and He promises to meet our needs, why do we worry and fear that He might not?

God Provides, Pt. 2

"Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing?"

(Matthew 6:25)

If God is all-powerful, and He promises to meet our needs, why do we worry and fear that He might not? God is always true to His Word and will never forsake us or let us down. I love the new song by Tasha Layton entitled, "Never". Here are some of the lyrics:

When this broken world is breaking me down
When my tears and knees both fall to the ground
When my questions make me doubt You more than ever
You remind me that Your answer is always never
Never forgotten
Never forsaken
Never abandoned
Not for a second
I am safe in Your hands
Always and forever
You're never not working
My heart is the proof
There's not a broken too broken for You
Will there ever come a day when You're not holding me together?
You say never

If you have specific needs and God is not answering your prayers in the ways you think He should, it is good to keep in mind what Stanley teaches about this point: "Why is He not answering my prayers and meeting my needs? The problem is not with God but with us. What is the mistake we are making?"

He goes on to say that God has promised to meet our needs. The value of any promise goes back to the ability of the person making the promise. Do they have ability? Do they have the integrity to keep their word and follow through? With God, obviously, He passes on both! He can do it, and He has the integrity to keep the promise. God keeps His Word.

Tomorrow we will discuss a couple mistakes we make, according to Stanley, on the issue of God meeting our needs. But let us close today's devotion with these wonderful words from Jesus in His powerful Sermon on the Mount in Matthew 6:33-34: "But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble."
