His Provision Is Perfect

Don’t be afraid, for I am with you! Don’t be frightened, for I am your God! I strengthen you – yes, I help you – yes, I uphold you with My saving right hand! Isaiah 41:10 NET

We are confident God is our Refuge, our Strength, and our ever—present Help. He is also the Sovereign God. Sovereignty is an active part of God based upon the premise that God, as the Creator of heaven and earth, has the absolute right and full authority to do or allow whatever He desires. He has supreme power and authority over everything. 

This is a part of God that we get to see and understand when we get to know Him—and we only get to know God by staying still and being in His presence. 

God can do great things. There are also great results that happen through trusting in the Lord. God is sovereign, He is almighty, He is lifted up, enthroned in the heavens. God is able to do His work. 

It’s a weird feeling when plans are changed. Something that you’ve worked towards for a long time is gone, and you are left sitting before an unplanned clear schedule. But this is not new – plans are often disrupted, whether it be by weather, illness, or other circumstances. Sometimes, you feel helpless – and perhaps even small.

This is where we can rest in the fact that God is always in control. We don’t know what tomorrow holds, but He does. Scripture reminds us that He cares for the birds and the flowers. Does this mean we shouldn’t make plans at all? 

No – it’s good to do so. We just need to commit our plans to Him and acknowledge that He is Lord of all, and that He walks alongside us through every uncertainty. 

Here’s what we’re to do when we are fearful:

Take our worries to Him in prayer (1 Peter 5:7).

Believe that He hears us when we pray (Psalm 34:17).

Remember that He loves and protects us no matter what we face (Deuteronomy 31:6). 

God is not surprised when we are fearful. In fact, the Bible is packed full of Scripture reminding us of why we don’t need to fear anything. It teaches us to simply trust in the Lord and know that His provision is perfect.
