Who is your provider?

The scriptures teach us that God is our ultimate provider. Most often look at their jobs as their provider, but frankly, jobs come and go. They can be available today, and gone tomorrow. It’s vital that we catch the revelation deep in our spirit that God is our provider. Opportunities can close down. Downsizing and layoffs can occur. But God is able to get provision over to us in unlimited ways because He is an unlimited God with unlimited provision and resources. He is actually the one that provides provision and resources for us on a daily basis. Not only that, when we are generous, He will multiply our resources so that we can continue to be generous with others. Your job might shut down, your bank might fail, your current opportunities might dry up, but always remember that God never fails, and He is the one that will open new doors of opportunity when the current one shuts down because He is our provider!

2 Corinthians 9:10 “Now He who provides seed for the sower and bread for food will provide and multiply your seed for sowing [that is, your resources] and increase the harvest of your righteousness [which shows itself in active goodness, kindness, and love]”

What has God placed in your hands?

A rock in my hands is a simple reminder of the awesome variety of nature. In David’s hands, it’s the end of tyranny. A rod in my hands can help me to walk if I am tired; a rod in Moses’ hands parted the Red Sea. A rubber ball in my hands might give me some fun in the park; a rubber ball in Michael Jordan’s hands gave him many basketball championships. Fish and loaves in my hands is a fish sandwich; fish and loaves in the Lord Jesus’ hands fed the multitudes. Grain in my hands might be a simple breakfast; grain in Joseph’s hands kept the nations fed during seven years of famine. Nails in my hands can help me to build a small project; nails in the Lord Jesus’ hands provided salvation for mankind.
You see, it all depends on whose hands it’s in. What will you do with what God placed in your hands? Selah.
Matthew 14:19(NKJV) – “Then He commanded the multitudes to sit down on the grass. And He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, He blessed and broke and gave the loaves to the disciples; and the disciples gave to the multitudes.”
