Joyce Meyer – The Lord Will Provide

 

He has given food and provision to those who reverently and worshipfully fear Him; He will remember His covenant forever and imprint it [on His mind]. —Psalm 111:5

Do you have financial worries or concerns about provision in your life right now? If you find yourself worried that you will not have enough, you’re not alone. I have found that many people have the same fear.

Today’s scripture teaches us that as long as we have reverence for God and worship Him, we can count on Him to provide for us.  I believe this principle is an important key to having our needs met. If we maintain reverent attitudes toward God and are faithful to worship Him, then we will be able to live in faith instead of fear when needs arise.

Maybe you are facing the possibility of losing your job or your home. Maybe you are working as hard as you can, but your income simply is not enough to support your family. Maybe you are living on Social Security and wondering what the future holds for you. You see prices rising continually and the enemy whispers, “You aren’t going to have enough to live on.”

I encourage you to commit today’s scripture to memory. Meditate on it often, and obey it. As you worship the Lord, remind yourself of all the ways He has taken care of you throughout your life; thank Him for all He has done for you; ask Him for wisdom; and tell Him that you love Him and trust Him to meet every need in your life.

Love God Today: “Thank You, Lord, for being a faithful, trustworthy Provider for me as I continue to worship You.”

Presidential Prayer Team; C.P. – Love the Giver

 

When the Israelites were about to enter the Promised Land with their new leader Joshua, Moses gave a series of sermons reminding people to always obey God. He warns, “Beware lest you say in your heart, ‘My power and the might of my hand have gotten me this wealth.’…And if you forget the Lord your God and go after other gods and serve them and worship them, I solemnly warn you today that you shall surely perish.” (Deuteronomy 8:17, 19)

He has shown his people the power of his works, in giving them the inheritance of the nations. Psalm 111:6

God is love and He gives His people good gifts. But there is a danger people fall into when they are blessed. They become so enamored with the gifts, they forget the giver. They get puffed up, congratulating themselves on their own success, forgetting that only God gives people power to prosper (Deuteronomy 8:18).

Be thankful for all the blessings you enjoy as an American – and pray for the United States, where many citizens, no doubt, have forgotten where their blessings come from. Pray for the people of this nation to repent of their pride and turn once again to the Lord, the giver of all good things.
