Thanksgiving Day 15 - God's Provision

Today I am thankful for the Lord's provision in my life. No matter what needs we have, whether physical, emotional, spiritual, or monetary, the Lord has always provided all that we need. He tells us in Philippians 4:6-7 " Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."

God has provided so much to me in my life; salvation through Jesus Christ, a wonderful husband, family, son, a home, clothes on my back, a good job, income, warm meals, hope, the comfort of the Holy Spirit, unexpected surprises from friends, and more recently, baby clothes from friends and family!

Psalm 55:22 says, "Cast your burden on the LORD, and he will sustain you; he will never permit the righteous to be moved." (ESV)

I love this reminder that even when we are under a heavy burden and need the Lord to provide, we should just cast that burden on the Lord and He will bear it for us....and will sustain us! All we have to do is trust in His loving provision for us.

Lord, thank you for your constant provision in my life, and for the unfailing love and hope I have in you. Please let me never take for granted the things you provide for us, and help me to be more content with the things we have and not covet other things. In Jesus name, Amen.
