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]”

Seek the Provider, not the things!

God is not only our deliverer. He is also our provider. King David wrote: “I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor His seed begging for bread” (Psalm 37:25). The Apostle Paul understood this truth, so he wrote this to the Phillipian church: “And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.” Today, God wants you to be encouraged. He knows that many have unmet needs and  are experiencing lack of some kind. He reminds us that He is the owner of all the gold and silver and the cattle on a thousand hills. His word counsels us to  “seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things (food, home, clothing, finances shall be added to you” (Matthew 6:33). Seek the Provider, not the things. If you get this right, all these “things” shall be added to you!
