GOD THE PROVIDER

Exodus 13-17

“We can’t predict what type of sustaining graces God will provide for us, and we can’t expect that the kind of sustaining grace someone else receives will be the same kind of care we will receive. We can only trust that the provision will come.”

God is always with us and always working in our situations even when we can’t see it. He is the God provision. However, this provision does not always present itself the way we think it should, or in the time we think it should.

The story of the Israelites in Exodus 13- 17 shows us the amazing goodness and heart God has for His people – us. In every moment, God was with the Israelites. He constantly showed His power and care for them as His people. Yet still they complained. Yet still they forgot what He had already done. Yet still they doubted Him and lacked trust in Him.

How often is their response similar to our own responses to situations in our  lives? How often do we forget, complain and lack trust in our Heavenly Father.

Our prayer is that through the story of the Israelites you’ll not only see God at work in the lives of the Israelites but that you’ll also see how God the Provider has been and still is at work in our own lives.
