Provision

"God created us to have needs, not counting them as sinful or selfish. Without them, we'd have no way of knowing our need for God or how much He loves us." -Anonymous

Most recently, I have been so thankful in the ways God has shown himself in my life. Of all the things he has done, most of them can be summed up in one word, provide. God has provided for me. Everything from a peace of mind, a support system I can turn to at any moment, finances, the strength I need to get through each day and the rest I need at the end of them, he has provided. I try my best not to take it for granted, but all too often I do. I am more than thankful and humbled by his choice to love me and meet my needs.

So call me lucky, call me blessed. All I know is all is that I have been provided for. He has supplied me with challenges, patience, and fulfillment all while I move through life with a rambling heart but a peaceful soul. For that, I realize I fall short, but I am thankful for his provision.

I challenge you to realize when your needs are being met and do not take that for granted.
