DIVINE PROVISION IN HARD TIMES

 "They did not thirst when He led them through the deserts; He made water flow from the rock for them; He also split the rock, and the water gushed out forcefully. Isaiah 48:21" 


This verse reveals God’s ability to provide for His people’s needs regardless of the environment they are in.

God has the power to give you what you need at any time and in any place. When the scripture says "They did not thirst when He led them through the desert," it shows God's power to make the impossible happen. You can be sure that God's provisions and blessings are not limited by circumstances. When you go through tough situations, that is when God brings you success.

Secondly, you’ll notice the verse says "when He led them through the desert," which means God Himself led the people through the desert. So, when you go through a tough situation like the desert – whether it's economic hardship or a season  in your life where nothing seems to grow, and you are experiencing scarcity – sometimes God allows you to go through this for a special purpose, as written:

"Remember how the Lord your God led you all the way in the wilderness these forty years, to humble and test you in order to know what was in your heart, whether or not you would keep His commands. He humbled you, causing you to hunger and then feeding you with manna, which neither you nor your ancestors had known, to teach you that man does not live on bread alone but on every word that comes from the mouth of the Lord. Deuteronomy 8:2-3" 

So, when God takes you through a tough time or season, it’s to teach you humility and reliance on Him. While you are in this situation he will provide for you. Your life is not shaped by your environment or people, but by the word that God has spoken over you. When you learn to rely on Him and follow His commandments, you won’t lack water or food; He will provide for all your needs.

Prayer: Thank You, Lord, for Your love for me. I ask You to teach me to obey and rely on You even in difficult situations. Amen.

THE WISEST THING TO DO IN YOUR LIFE

  Daniel 12:3 (GNT) says, “The wise leaders will shine with all the brightness of the sky. And those who have taught many people to do what is right will shine like the stars forever.” This verse speaks about the reward God will give His faithful people on the last day. Those who live with wisdom and lead others to righteousness will shine like stars in the sky—forever. What a powerful promise! Today, I want to teach you how to be wise so you can receive this reward. The Bible says in James 1:5 (NKJV), “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God...”  This means wisdom comes from God, and He is willing to give it to anyone who asks. When you receive God’s wisdom, you will learn how to live the right way and make decisions that please Him. You will also have the power to guide others. The wisest thing you can ever do in life is to preach the Gospel—to help people turn away from sin and accept Jesus Christ. That is the kind of wisdom that brings eternal rewards. Also, if you ...

MISPLACED FEAR

Matthew 10:28  (NKJV) says: “And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.”   This is a direct call from Jesus to correct our fears. Many people fear human threats, sickness, poverty, storms, or death. Yet Jesus reminds us that these things can only touch the body. The true danger is sin, because it separates us from God and leads to eternal destruction. The only fear that matters is the fear of God, for He alone holds the destiny of both the body and soul. One day I was in a garage fixing my car. It was an open space and suddenly it began raining heavily. All the mechanics rushed to take shelter inside. As we stood, they began sharing jokes, laughing about drinking and the women they slept with. I always preach to them, telling them to repent and receive Jesus. But they laughed it off. As we were standing there inside, suddenly the storm grew stronger, with thunder and lightning flashin...
