God will provide

Searching the Scriptures

Look at the birds of the sky : they neither sow nor reap, they do not gather anything in barns, and your Heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not worth much more than them ? Who among you, by worrying, can add a moment to the length of your life ? Matthew 6:26-27

To worry is to bet on a problem that may never happen. Consider the birds : they are not worried, they have this incredible faith in them that they will have enough to eat. What an inspiring example they are for us. Do you want to be rid of the fear of missing out ? Trust in the Lord.

If your work were to disappear, you would not lose your source but the channel through which God blessed you. Therefore, fear not : your well of blessings is always open and God will provide for you differently.

If your business is about to die, Jesus is still alive ! Your source is in God, and in him alone.

Even if your company goes bankrupt, the gold and silver still belong to the Lord. Your financial source is not tied to a man, a business, the Stock Exchange, or an earthly state, but to God.

The Bible declares that you are an ambassador from Heaven to this earth. Where does the support for this envoy come from ? From the country where he is or from the country sending him ? If today you are in a place of raging scarcity, be confident, for the Kingdom of God is not in crisis. You are a citizen of Heaven and the eyes of the Most High are on you.

Listen the voice of God

Let’s take the time to listen to what God means. He knows your needs and He is the one to provide for them.

Praying is easy. Talk to God as you would your closest friend. God loves you and he can hear everything. Here is an example of a prayer : "Lord, today I let go of my worries and I trust you. Open the windows of Heaven on my life."

Praise God

To praise God is to show him our gratitude. What are your subjects of recognition today ? Take a moment to thank the Lord.

Act today

Now dig deeper into what you have received. What can you do to apply what God has told you ? Write down the concrete actions you can take.

Honor the Lord

Our route for the day comes to an end. Let us pray together to honor our God.

"Lord, you are Jireh, the Eternal Provider. You are the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow. Yours is the reign, and the power, and the glory, amen !"
