God Provides - December 28, 2020

God is enough. Isn’t this the message of Moses and Joshua and the journey to the Promised Land? Who opened the Jordan River? Who led the people across on dry ground? Who appeared to encourage Joshua? Who brought down the Jericho walls? Who fought for and delivered the people? God!

He cared for his people. Even in the wilderness they never went without provision. He gave them not just food but clothing and good health. Moses once reminded the Hebrews, “Your clothes did not wear out and your feet did not swell during these forty years” (Deuteronomy 8:4). The following phrases were never heard in the wilderness: “Oh bummer, my robe has another rip in it.” “Hey, new sandals. Where did you get them?” There was no want for food, no need for clothing. God provided for them, and God promised to provide you.
