God Provids For All Our Needs !

God Provides for all Our Needs.
By: Robert A. Searles 

All those who have by faith received the Lord Jesus Christ as their savior, and have been "born again" into the family of God , can have the assurance that they are being cared for and provided for by a loving heavenly Father who knows all our needs.

 As the children of our heavenly father, we do not need to be concerned about the future to the point where we worry and distrust the providence of God. The scriptures tell us that we are to appear before God as little children in perfect confidence that we will be clothed and fed, and cared for, even as a little child.
 When we observe nature and consider all the fowls of the air; all the beast of the earth; all the fish of the sea; we do not see them planting gardens and sowing seed, and worrying about what they will eat or about what tomorrow holds for them. Instead, they simply live one day at a time. They take it for granted that their food will be there for them and they just go and find it wherever it has been provided for them.

 Jesus taught that we should not waste valuable time worrying and fretting about the unknown, but rather we should use our time wisely serving him and trusting that he will provide all our needs according to his riches in glory.

 Jesus said: "Therefore I say unto you, take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they? Which of you by taking thought, can add one cubit unto his stature? And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how thy grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: and yet I say unto you, that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Wherefore if God so clothe the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? Therefore take no thought saying, what shall we eat? or what shall we drink? or where withal shall we be clothed?(For after all these things do the gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things,. But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you. Take therefore no thought for the morrow for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof." Matthew 6:25-31.
