God Will Provide

We are living in uncertain times. Many people are fear riddled and some are panic stricken about things that are happening in the world. Christians expect the fulfillment of prophecy, the Antichrist, tribulation, famine, New World Order, mark of the beast, 666, war, unrest, persecution. Many are hoping for some escape, the rapture, to quickly save them and relieve their anxiety. Others flee the country.

The truth is: trouble is everywhere. You can run, but you can’t hide. “If there is calamity in the city, has not the Lord done it?” Amos 3:6. Everything happens by the power of God. Not even the devil can do anything if God does not allow him to do it.

God cares and provides for those who obey Him. Jesus told us to not be concerned about anything. He commanded: Seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness and all the other will be added unto you. (Matthew 6:33)
God is faithful and will not let us down.

Our problem is that few of us are interested in the kingdom of God, we are interested in ourselves. We are selfish, ask things for ourselves, are concerned about self preservation and not about the kingdom of God. If we are really children on God we shall be concerned about doing the works of Christ, testifying for Jesus, preaching the gospel, saving souls from hell.

Those who are concerned about the kingdom of God pray for the kingdom of God to be expanded, they are not concerned about self. If we are eager to bear fruit for Jesus He will make a way for us. We need not be concerned about the circumstances. Jesus lives in us by His Spirit and He will guide us when the trial happens.

Jesus said: “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I AM WITH YOU ALWAYS, even to the end of the age.” Matthew 28:19,20

Jesus will always be with us, the question is: Are you with Jesus, seeking His Kingdom and His righteousness?
