The Provision of God

How faithful is God to provide all you need? What if your normal means of provision dries up or changes? Is God still faithful to provide in times of scarcity—when circumstances change and become difficult?

The provision of God is as certain as God. It is in God’s faithful character and nature to provide in every circumstance, even when natural means fail us and prove to be uncertain and unfaithful.

The Prophet Habakkuk wrote, “Though the fig tree should not blossom, nor fruit be on the vines, the produce of the olive fail and the fields yield no food, the flock be cut off from the fold and there be no herd in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the LORD; I will take joy in the God of my salvation.” (Habakkuk 3:17-18, ESV).

We can rest in the certainty of God and in the provision of God. God brings about fruit in times of fruitlessness. God produces when there is no produce.

May we rest in the provision of God as we trust in him to meet all our needs.

A Collect for Sabbath Rest: “Almighty God, who after the creation of the world rested from all your works and sanctified a day of rest for all your creatures: Grant that we, putting away all earthly anxieties, may be duly prepared for the service of your sanctuary, and that our rest here upon earth may be a preparation for the eternal rest promised to your people in heaven; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.” (Book of Common Prayer, 2019).
