GOD KNOWS HOW TO PROVIDE

Matthew 17:25-27

_And when he had come into the house, Jesus anticipated him, saying, “What do you think, Simon? From whom do the kings of the earth take customs or taxes, from their sons or from strangers?” 26 Peter said to Him, “From strangers.” Jesus said to him, “Then the sons are free. 27 Nevertheless, lest we offend them, go to the sea, cast in a hook, and take the fish that comes up first. And when you have opened its mouth, you will find a piece of money; take that and give it to them for Me and you.”_

If Jesus had established a business, He would have been the wealthiest billionaire that lived on earth. That was not the purpose for His coming so He did not do that. That did not make Him poor. This passage captures the incident where the people were alleging that the disciples do not pay taxes.

Jesus did not write to His bankers because He did not have one. He did not fall on His savings, because there was nothing like that. He simply showed that He was the owner of all that we can see and handle; creation.

Jesus just pulled an extraordinary miracle – asked the disciples to catch a fish and remove money from its mouth. The other occasions where He provided are also clear – blessing five loaves and two fishes to feed five thousand men besides women and children. When wine served at a wedding party got finished, He did not call the winepress to order fresh wine. He simply created one that was better than the one they bought from the winepress.

Believer in Christ, God knows how to provide for His children. This business of running after money all day at the expense of our fellowship with God is not taking us anywhere. Trust the One who owns the whole world and your needs will always be met by Him.

Payer
1. Thank God for His unlimited source of blessing for your several needs.
2. Pray that you will have faith to trust God to provide your daily needs.
3. Father, please open my eyes to see your abundant provisions for me

Declarations
Because God is the great provider, I will not despair; I will continue to seek His kingdom and His righteousness, and I know that all things shall be added unto me in the name of Jesus.
