Provision
Peace, Promises and Provisions
One of the keys to having peace while I live in this troubled world is when I know that I am provided for. I will not be left without the resources I need to live a healthy life. A healthy life is not just a healthy physical life. It includes everything that allows me to be satisfied that my present and future are cared for. God promises you, me, our children that He will provide for our needs.
Jesús dijo en Mateo 6:25-33; “Por eso les digo: No se preocupen por su vida, que comerán o beberán; ni por su cuerpo, cómo se vestirán. ¿No tiene la vida más valor que la comida, y el cuerpo más que la ropa? Fíjense en las aves del cielo: no siembran ni cosechan ni almacenan en graneros; sin embargo, el Padre celestial las alimenta. ¿Quién de ustedes, por mucho que se preocupe, puede añadir una sola hora al curso de su vida? ¿Y por qué se preocupan por la ropa? Observen cómo crecen los lirios del campo. No trabajan ni hilan; sin embargo, les digo que ni siquiera Salomón, con todo su esplendor, se vestía como uno de ellos. Si así viste Dios a la hierba que hoy está en el campo y mañana es arrojada al horno, ¿no hará mucho más por ustedes, gente de poco fe? Así que no se preocupen diciendo: “¿Qué comeremos?” o “¿Qué beberemos?” o “¿Con qué nos vestiremos?” Porque los paganos andan tras todas estas cosas, y el Padre celestial sabe que ustedes las necesitan. Más bien, busquen primeramente el reino de Dios y su justicia, y todas estas cosas les serán añadidas. Por lo tanto, no se angustien por el mañana, el cual tendrá sus propios afanes. Cada día tiene ya sus problemas.
Joseph was sold into slavery, was mistreated and abandoned in jail for more than 7 years. God provided. He became one of the highest officials in ancient Egypt and was able to save his family from starvation. His brothers feared he would punish them for selling him into slavery but Joseph said, “Es verdad que ustedes pensaron hacerme mal, pero Dios transformo ese mal en bien para lograr lo que hoy estamos viendo: salvar la vida de mucha gente.”
God is in control of all things. He knows each of us personally. That means He knows exactly what each of us needs and promises to provide. Now that is peace! That is security!
None of us are perfect as individuals – nor are our marriages perfect. As we work together to maintain our love and a strong marriage, our homes will be a good environment for growing and happy children.
