FOUNDING MY PLACE IN GOD’S PLAN

Read the Bible through:
AM –
Psalm 120-129 : PM – Rom. 10

TRUST GOD’S PROVISION
Genesis 45:19-24

23 “And he sent to his father these things: ten donkeys loaded with the good things of Egypt, and ten female donkeys loaded with grain, bread, and food for his father for the journey”


Has there been a time in your life when you were worried about how to pay the bills from month to month? Some people face this situation when they are young and just getting started on their own. For other people, financial hardship comes when a job is lost. Sometimes older people, on a fixed income, struggle to make ends meet as the cost of living rises and their income doesn’t.

Joseph’s brothers had come to Egypt asking for food so they would not starve during a time of famine. Joseph was able to give them an abundant amount of food, clothing, and silver.

Isn’t God like that too? He is always able to provide for our needs if we’re simply willing to trust Him. Sometimes we struggle with confusing our needs and our wants. God might not provide all our wants, but He will provide all our needs. Are you willing to trust Him?

Father, thanks for the provisions that You send my way, fresh each day.
