“Our Lord’s Provision”
by Dona Hake
The Lord will provide! May we never permit this truth to become just a cliche to us that we speak. These words are loaded with power for it is true that we serve a God that is able to meet ANY need. There is not a thing in our life that we may be lacking that is too hard for Him to take care of.
Psalm 23:1 (AMP)
” The Lord is my Shepherd [to feed,
guide, and shield me], I shall not lack.”
Let us ask Him for our His Daily Bread, for He promises to fill us up to overflowing all that our spirit needs to be nourished, and this Bread sustains us for our day. We must never try to carry yesterday’s bread into the needs of another day. Recently I shared with you and cautioned you that you continue to grow in your faith. We should never try to live off of the fumes of yesterday’s faith nor should we forget that each day has it’s need of fresh Bread from heaven. Each day brings new demands and sometimes troubles, and it is important that we fill up and draw upon the spiritual nourishment He has for us. He WILL provide us with spiritual food for the specific needs of our day.
There may be days in which we can experience the pressures and difficulties of this life but remember to never be weary in well doing. David reminds us in this Psalm that the Lord desires to be our loving shield as well as guide and feed us. He longs to keep our hearts and minds at peace even as the battle may be going on around us.
Let us meditate on the Lord as our wonderful and loving provider. Praise the Lord for He will stay true to His Word and we will never lack any good thing. What is it that you need in the present moment?? I encourage you to trust your Lord for He WILL provide!
