Trust that God will provide
God gives food and provides for those who fear and worship reverently.
Are you worried about the provision at this stage of your life? Do you need some kind of sustenance, and do not know where you're going from? I have conducted surveys at conferences and these show that at least fifty percent of people are afraid of not knowing where their provision will come from. Psalm 111: 1-5 says, "I will praise the LORD with all my heart in the company and assembly of the upright: great are the works of the LORD, sought after by all who love them." Glory and beauty is his work, and his righteousness endures forever, he has made his wonders memorable, the LORD is gracious and merciful, he has given food to those who fear, he will remember his covenant forever. " Notice the last verse where the psalmist is praising and worshiping God for his great works on behalf of his people.
This tells us that whenever we worship God, we will have his provision. Worship wins the battle!
Maybe they told him he will lose his job or his house. Maybe you are a mature person who receives social security, and wonder what the future holds. Or he sees that the prices go up all the time, and the devil whispers in his ear: "You will not have enough to live". Maybe the numbers just do not fit; your income does not reach you, even if you are doing everything within your reach.
Whatever motive is troubling you about your provision, take this verse and type it. Jeremiah said, "Your words were found, and I ate them, and your word was to me for joy and for the joy of my heart ..." (Jer 15:16). We must, as it were, "chew" the Word of God. In his writings, the psalmist uses the word selah, which means "pause, and think about it calmly," to encourage the reader to slowly digest what has been said.
That Word says that God gives food and provides for those who fear and worship reverently. Whatever your situation, God will always provide for you to adore him.
Worship is really fun and invigorating; worry burdens our hearts and makes us lose joy. Adore, and do not worry! The battle is of the Lord!
If you read the book of Proverbs and see all the fundamental promises made to the person who walks wisely, you will find that reverence and adoration are the beginning of wisdom.
The Bible says that those who walk in wisdom will be rich, live a long life and be happy. They will be blessed, so blessed that they will be envied (Pr 3: 1-18).
But there is no wisdom without adoration. Currently, many people seek knowledge, which is good, but wisdom is better. Wisdom is the correct use of knowledge. Knowledge without wisdom can make a person proud, which will ultimately ruin his life. A wise person will always be knowledgeable, but not all knowledgeable people are wise.
I believe that in today's society, we exalt knowledge more than we owe. Education seems to be the main objective of most people, and yet our world decays morally in a vertiginous way. Education is good, but it is not better than wisdom. The Word of God tells us to cry out for wisdom; that we look for it like silver and gold; that we make it a vital necessity of life. There is nothing more important than wisdom, and the principle of wisdom is reverence and adoration. The worshiper will be taught wisdom by God.
