Provisions

It is a constant battle some days to remain grateful and content. So many things seem to bog us down with worry. We get in the daily routine and forget that He is always faithful. Was in one of my funks this morning when I read Ann Voskamp's blog and came across these gems.
"What if we believed in the deep places, the darkest recesses, that He always provided — and not just barely, but abundantly?"
"And when God provides, He should be praised, and if God always provides, shouldn’t praise always be on the lips?"
It was a Word God knew I needed to hear this morning. That even in my moments of discontent or worry, he will ALWAYS provide and he is ALWAYS faithful.

May we live today and every day with His praise on our lips, and his Word close to our hearts. A constant reminder that he not only provides us with food, water, family, friends, but with the Amazing, Mighty power of his love poured out on the Cross that is greater than all our sins and the ulitmate Provision!
"Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life? And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? Therefore do not be anxious, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you." -Matthew 6:25-33
