We’ve all experienced the disappointment that comes with being let down by another person. But what do you do when you feel like you’ve been let down by…God? In those moments, it’s important to remember the evidence of His character that we see through His Word and through the ultimate sacrifice of His Son on our behalf. He promises to provide all we need for the work He’s called us to do, until the day He calls us home to Him.

God calls us to live on the edge — in the place where we’re forced to depend on Him instead of watching and waiting to see how He’s going to show up for us. He often brings us to the place where our faith is stretched, but when we seek Him first above all things, He provides for all our needs.

When we give God our lives, He gives us so much more in return. He allows us the privilege of partnering with Him to change the world for His glory. We only need to read Scripture to see how He provides for those who trust in Him: He offers the Bread of Life — Jesus Himself.

God promises to provide for our needs — but that doesn’t always look the way we’d expect. There are things in this life that we want to hold on to, that we don’t want to surrender to the Lord. He calls us to release our grip on those things and trust Him to provide everything we need.

When we’re standing in front of a mountain of a challenge, it’s hard to see anything but the uphill climb. But when we take a step back and look at our problems in relation to the Creator of the universe, it gives us perspective and reminds us that God is powerful over any and all of our circumstances — and that our lives are about so much more than just the here and now.

Have you ever found yourself saying that something will happen “when pigs fly”? The thing about God is this: if He says He’s going to do something, He’s faithful to follow through. And if God promises to equip us with all that we need, we can trust Him to supply whatever provisions it takes — even if that means making pigs fly!

The world is filled with “what ifs”, and if we’re not careful, we can spend our whole lives fearing every possible outcome to every possible scenario. But when we give our lives to God, He gives us His peace in return. We can rest in the knowledge that HE holds our lives in His hands — and that He’s already provided for us and seen us through everything we’ll experience in this life.

Scripture all but assures us that we’ll face constant spiritual warfare in this life. But God’s provision for our every need includes accompanying us into battle and giving us the tools we need to triumph! Not only does He fight for us, He uses us to fight for others, too.
