In every story of need, there is a miracle of provision.
And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus. —Philippians 4:19
Let God’s will be the primary factor to determine how you live.
Three principles of God’s miraculous provision…
- When God guides, He always provides.
The Lord will guide you always; he will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land and will strengthen your frame. You will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail. —Isaiah 58:11
Abraham answered, “God himself will provide the lamb for the burnt offering, my son.” And the two of them went on together. … So Abraham called that place The Lord Will Provide. And to this day it is said, “On the mountain of the Lord it will be provided.” —Genesis 22:8, 14
- Jehovah-Jireh – “The Lord Will Provide”
- God miraculously multiplies what is given.
For God is the one who provides seed for the farmer and then bread to eat. In the same way, he will provide and increase your resources and then produce a great harvest of generosity in you. —2 Corinthians 9:10 NLT
- You might be a part of God’s miraculous provision!
Yes, you will be enriched in every way so that you can always be generous. And when we take your gifts to those who need them, they will thank God. So two good things will result from this ministry of giving—the needs of the believers in Jerusalem will be met, and they will joyfully express their thanks to God. —2 Corinthians 9:11-12 NLT

So often we allow our need, rather than God’s will, to be the primary driver of our lives. But when God guides, we can trust him to always provide. And sometimes our God will miraculously meet a need through you.
