What does the Bible say about provision?
Think back! Has God ever truly let you down? I’m not talking about whether you’ve faced tough times; we all have our share of storms. But in the thick of it, has He ever abandoned you? Has He ever left you hanging? Every single time, He’s shown up. Maybe not how I pictured it or on my timeline, but He’s never missed a beat. He’s never failed me, or you. If He’s met your deepest need through Jesus, securing your soul, how much more will He cover the everyday stuff? Don’t let doubt creep in about His care—He loves you fiercely. Sit with these provision verses, let them sink in slow and steady. Whisper them in prayer to anchor yourself in His unshakable faithfulness. Let them stand as proof that God forever holds and tends to His own.
