I think we find ourselves many times getting upset or fearful that God won’t come through for us.
Sometimes I wonder why we do, because God has always been faithful to us and He has always provided.
Reading Numbers, you see that the Israelites gripe quite a bit to God, and you wonder, “How could they do that after all God has done for them?” They saw Him part the Red Sea, provide manna from the sky, send meat from the sea, defeat their enemies and so much more! How could they doubt God? But, honestly, we do it too.
Sometimes we forget all He has done for us before.
Sometimes we get in fear, focus on our present situation, and start to panic.
Sometimes we become arrogant as if God owes us something.
Sometimes we ignore all that He has already given us and become ungrateful thinking of what we don’t have.
Wow. We can be just like the Israelites.
Instead of focusing on self preservation, fear, ungratefulness, forgetfulness, selfishness and arrogance…
Let’s focus on others, trusting God, thanking God, remembering all He has done, and humbling ourselves in remembrance of His unchanging love for us.
He is faithful. He has always been there for us and He will never change. He loves you and will always and forever take care of you. Not because He has to, but because He desires to. He is too in love with you to ever not provide all you need. The amazing thing is, He will not only give you what you need, but exceedingly and abundantly what you ask or think!
He will provide. He always has. He always will.
The Lord said to Moses, “How long will these people treat me with contempt? How long will they refuse to believe in me, in spite of all the signs I have performed among them?” – Numbers 14:11
“Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.” – Ephesians 3: 20-21
