“God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.” Psalm 46:1 KJV  God is our provision.   He is described in Psalm 145:17 as: “righteous in all His ways, and kind in all His deeds.  The LORD is near to all who call upon Him.” NASBU   Verse 15 says, “The eyes of all look to You, and You give them their food in due time.” NASU

I want to encourage you to focus on the source of your provision.  Look at the Provider.  Place your attention on the source of supply, not on your need.

God gives.  He is a giving God, and He always gives His best (John 3:16).

God’s nature is to give.  He doesn’t withhold what we need, but He does expect us to believe and receive what He has provided in our covenant through Jesus.  Mark 11:24 says, “Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.”
NKJV   What you’re praying for already belongs to you because of your relationship with God through Jesus.  So, focus on the source of provision, believe that you receive at the moment when you pray, and you will have what you need.

Let’s keep our eyes on the One who is faithful and ever present to help.  He is the One who sustains you.  He also receives the gift that you gave into His ministry and multiplies its effectiveness in reaching and ministering to others.  Thank you for that gift.  And thank you for your prayers for this work around the world.

In His service,
