We say God is our Provider
But how do we experience His provision
For some of us we have a need
and expect God to leave the provision on the doormat
But …….
That isn’t how it happened in the Bible
when Peter said in Matthew 17
that they needed money for the temple tax
Jesus told him to go down to the water
and take the first fish he saw
and the money he needed would be in the mouth of the fish
when there was famine in the land
and Elijah needed food
God first told him to go to the Kerith Brook
and while he was there for many days
he was fed each day by the ravens
but later God wanted to supply in a different way
and told him now to go to Zarephath
and while he was there a very poor widow fed him
Each time it was different
and each time they had to be obedient to what God said
before they received their provision
So for us -
We need to hear what God is saying to in each of situation
and be obedient to what He says
if we are to receive what we need
Don’t just tell Him your need
But stay…… and listen………..
and do what He says
