God's Provision


IOI CHRISTIAN MORNING MEAL

TOPIC: God’s provision

God’s provision does not come according to human reasoning

There is a supernatural element at work here. Provision does not come in line with human reasoning. When you are controlled by human thinking and worldly wisdom, you limit God and exclude him. God works in strange and unexpected ways. It is exciting, even though it can be extremely uncomfortable! Can you image what this meant to Elijah? God said to him, “I am going to provide for you throughout this time of drought. Go and prophesy, and the drought will come – but don’t worry, I am going to take care of you”. God fulfilled his promise through ravens and widows! The raven was an unclean bird to the Jew! And taking food from a poor widow? I can imagine Elijah recoiled at the thought of taking something from a woman who was worse off than himself. This is human thinking. God had to teach Elijah not to reason according to his natural understanding. God often uses extraordinary circumstances and extraordinary people – most unusual sources and most unusual instruments!

Sometimes it takes a great deal of faith and a rejection of normal human reasoning to grasp what God is doing. You can easily miss the provision of God if you don’t take time to listen to his promptings and discern the hand of God in your circumstances, no matter how bizarre they appear to be.

LET US PRAY
In Jesus Name God will connect you with the People that will feed you miraculously, in Jesus Name you will not lack

Share this meal
Good morning friends
