Tag: Bible verses about God’s provision

Numbers 11:9 (NKJV) 9 And when the dew fell on the camp in the night, the manna fell on it.

As the Israelites made their way into the desert, night fell and they were hungry. They had brought no food with them when they fled Egypt.

When they woke the next morning, there was food everywhere, all over the ground. It had fallen from the sky while they slept. This type of food was something they had never seen before. They called it manna.

And so they began to learn that God would provide for them in their time of need.

What they had a hard time learning, though, was that God would provide for them His way, not the way they expected it to happen.

This is something that we all wrestle with in our own lives. We put God in a tidy little box and expect Him to answer our prayers, provide for us and take care of us in the way that we expect Him to do it. But oh, if only we could get this right!

How much more we would see God do in our lives if we would just let Him out of that box!

God’s provision isn’t always in the form of a great corporate job. God’s healing doesn’t always happen by way of a divine miracle that happens mysteriously. Sometimes He provides for us in ways that we would never think of. And sometimes our healing comes by way of doctors and medical technology.

No, this isn’t a lack of faith in God’s power and might. It’s allowing God to work and help us in whatever means He chooses.

When we have our heart and minds set on God answering us or doing something for us in a specific way, we limit Him. We tie His hands. We may think that we’re being spiritual and we have great faith, but in reality, we might be stubborn and closed-minded.

If the Israelites had been set on getting their food in a certain way, they would have starved in the desert.

We also need to make sure we don’t starve in our own little desert. Let’s let God out of the box and untie His hands today.

Oh, the things we will see if we do this!
