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]”

Who actually has more wealth?

Were you aware that there is already much treasure and ample resources in your home? Proverbs 15:6 (NABRE) says: “In the house of the just there are ample resources, but the harvest of the wicked is in peril.” In the (RSV ), it is described this way: “In the house of the righteous there is much treasure, but trouble befalls the income of the wicked.” The world only sees treasure as gold, silver, power and fame, yet we constantly see how trouble follows their wealth. However, there are so many other “riches” that they do not understand. The house of the righteous have the riches of His grace, the riches of His love, the riches of His kind and tender mercies, the riches of His Presence, the riches of His wisdom, the riches of His provision, the riches of the inheritance in the saints, the riches of adoption into His family, the riches of His word, the riches of the peace that passes understanding, the riches of the joy of the Lord which is our strength, the riches that belong to princes and princesses since we are children of the King. This is just a quick list. There is so much more treasure and ample resources in the house of the righteous. The world’s riches cannot compare to the unfathomable riches of Christ, which is eternal and unlimited!
