“You Provided…”

“You Provided…”

Blessings folk!

The people of the Lord continue to recount the good things the Lord had done for them.

Neh 9:20-21

“You gave Your good Spirit to instruct them,
Your manna You did not withhold from their mouth,
And You gave them water for their thirst.

“Indeed, forty years You provided for them in the wilderness and they were not in want;
Their clothes did not wear out, nor did their feet swell.

The Lord gave His good Spirit to instruct them.
Often people think the Spirit doesn’t “appear” in the Word until Acts 2.
Wrong.

The Lord gave them manna for food.

The Lord gave them water.

The Lord provided all they needed.
For forty years.
They had not want.
Their clothes did not wear out.
Their feet did not swell.

Think on that.

Why do we worry/fret over such.

Jesus told us to not do so…

 Mat 6:25-33

“For this reason I say to you,
do not be worried about your life,
as to what you will eat or what you will drink;
nor for your body, as to what you will put on.
Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing?

“Look at the birds of the air, that they do not sow, nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not worth much more than they?

“And who of you by being worried can add a single hour to his life?

“And why are you worried about clothing?
Observe how the lilies of the field grow; they do not toil nor do they spin,

yet I say to you that not even Solomon in all his glory clothed himself like one of these.

“But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which is alive today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, will He not much more clothe you? You of little faith!

“Do not worry then, saying,
‘What will we eat?’ or ‘What will we drink?’ or ‘What will we wear for clothing?’

“For the Gentiles eagerly seek all these things;
for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.

“But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.

Seek His Kingdom.
Seek His Righteousness.
He will provide all else.
