Our God is Yahweh Yireh, He will provide

Our God is Yahweh Yireh, He will provide

Genesis 22:8,14

The Lord God has always been our provider. But the heart of men can grow cold toward Him and pride demands self-sufficiency.

Here are some examples of how I have experienced God's provision in my  life at certain times:

Like Daniel

Nothing dangerous, no consequences of being in a place of others harming me.

Like Job

None of my friends wanting me to deviate from God's plan.

Sickness and decease do not kill me. Satan has to ask for permission.

Like Elijah

Being fed by others as he was fed by ravens.

Like Paul

Being blessed by others in all sorts of ways.

In order to see these kinds of blessing, self has to be layed down and killed daily. There is safety and peace in God's provision in many ways. 

First: I don't have to rely on my own understanding. His ways of provision and blessings are without repentance. Meaning they are the very best for us and we will not be sorry for it. 

Second: Relationships develop out of His provision and blessings. 

What has kicked satan out of the heavens? 

Not God, but pride. God just enforced His law on satan because of his pride.

During this Christmas season, it can be difficult for many, even painful. Not having the means to provide Christmas presents, food, not having companionship etc. 

I would encourage you to go to God. Pray for provision with expectation. Talk to God and allow Him to be your heavenly Father, providing the things you need. Remain humble before Him and you will see your prayer answered. Believe He is God and can, will provide for you. 

I would love to pray for you. Don't hesitate to ask for prayer.
