May 13 2021 … Our God Provides …

Berry Patch Devotions in 2021 - Day 133 


Devotional Song: ... GO TO THIS LINK ...   Please take the time to take in song and lyrics from Don Moen singing … God Will Make A Way … poignantly singing of how we must truth God to provide us with what we need in life.  


God will make a way ... 
 

==============

Highlight Passage:  Exodus 17:6 [ESV] …  

Behold, I will stand before you there on the rock at Horeb, and you shall strike the rock, and water shall come out of it, and the people will drink.” And Moses did so, in the sight of the elders of Israel. 

… God promises Moses that He, … the Lord God, … will provide water for His thirsty people.

… God shows Moses and the people that He will provide water when they are thirsty. 

==============   


Reference Passage: … Psalm 34:10  [ESV] … 

10 The young lions suffer want and hunger; but those who seek the Lord lack no good thing.

… God, thru David, sings of the Lord providing for those who seek after Him. 


Reference Passage: … Proverbs 3:5-6  [ESV] … USE THIS LINK … 

… God, thru Solomon, shows that we should trust God … ALWAYS … to show us His way instead of relying on our own way. 


Reference Passage: … Luke 12:24  [ESV] …  

24 Consider the ravens: they neither sow nor reap, they have neither storehouse nor barn, and yet God feeds them. Of how much more value are you than the bird  

… Jesus teaching on God being willing to provide for His own.  


Reference Passage: … Romans 8:28  [ESV] …  

28 And we know that for those who love God ALL THINGS work together for good, for those who are called according to His purpose.  

… God, thru Paul, shows that ALL THINGS in our lives are from God - for our good and His glory. 


Reference Passage</u>: … Philippians 4:19  [ESV] …  

19 And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.  

… Jesus to those who believe on Him as Lord … that He will set them (us) free from sin and self.

 

My Devotional JournalToday's Our Daily Bread author, Winn Collier, AT THIS LINK   … used the wide-spread drought in Australia some years ago to illustrate how devastating it can be for a people when there is not enough water to seemingly provide for the earth’s needs.     


And the ODB author then compared this with the drought experienced when God’s people were wandering the wilderness, challenging their faith in God and their trust in Moses, as God’s representative, to provide for the needs of God’s people.  But we know from the highlight passage today that God will provide a way, as Don Moen sings, where there seems to be no way (see photo).  


And that's why, as the Scriptures above relate for us, we need to trust that God will provide for our needs … ALWAYS.  In fact, … according to God’s word, thru the Apostle Paul, to all of us Christians (see Rom 8:28 and Phil 4:19), God will ALWAYS supply what we need and make a way - HIS WAY - for us to follow.  The question is … do we believe Him?   


My THANKFULNESS: ... Oh, Abba Father, thank You, King Jesus, … for being my Provider … ALWAYS!! 

My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, ... . I pray that all reading here will join me, … to trust that God will provide EXACTLY what we need today.   … Amen
