"You open Your hand And satisfy the desire of every living thing.” (Psalm 145:16 NASB)

He takes care of you!

When you look to God as your provider you will always feel secure. You won’t panic when trials come your way. You know that whatever happens He will take care of you.

“The earth is satisfied with the fruit of His works”

“He sends forth springs in the valleys; They flow between the mountains; They give drink to every beast of the field; The wild donkeys quench their thirst. Beside them the birds of the heavens dwell; They lift up their voices among the branches. He waters the mountains from His upper chambers; The earth is satisfied with the fruit of His works. He causes the grass to grow for the cattle, And vegetation for the labor of man, So that he may bring forth food from the earth, And wine which makes man's heart glad, So that he may make his face glisten with oil, And food which sustains man's heart. The trees of the LORD drink their fill, The cedars of Lebanon which He planted, Where the birds build their nests, And the stork, whose home is the fir trees. The high mountains are for the wild goats; The cliffs are a refuge for the shephanim.” (Psalms 104:10-18 NASB)

God’s “paths drip with fatness”

“You visit the earth and cause it to overflow; You greatly enrich it; The stream of God is full of water; You prepare their grain, for thus You prepare the earth. You water its furrows abundantly, You settle its ridges, You soften it with showers, You bless its growth. You have crowned the year with Your bounty, And Your paths drip with fatness. The pastures of the wilderness drip, And the hills gird themselves with rejoicing. The meadows are clothed with flocks And the valleys are covered with grain; They shout for joy, yes, they sing.” (Psalm 65:9-13 NASB)

Therefore…

“Look at the birds of the air, that they do not sow, nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not worth much more than they?” (Matt. 6:26 NASB)

Because…

“And my God will supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus.” (Phil. 4:19 NASB)

He surrounds you with favor

God will instruct and teach you

“I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I  will counsel you with my loving eye on you.” (Psalm 32:8 NIV)

“A gentle answer deflects anger, but harsh words make tempers flare.” (Prov. 15:1 NLT)

Usually when someone treats you badly, such as cutting you off in traffic, or in some other negative way such as speaking harshly to you, the first impulse is to react in kind. But, negative reactions only increase anger and leads to worse things. The best answer is to always react kindly and gently to negative situations. This is the example God has given us in His Son, Jesus, and is how we are to behave.

Clothe yourself with compassion

“Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.” (Col. 3:12 NIV)

God’s kindness is meant to lead you to repentance

“Or do you think lightly of the riches of His kindness and tolerance and patience, not knowing that the kindness of God leads you to repentance?” (Rom. 2:4 NASB)

Therefore…

“Love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous” (Matt. 5:44-45 NIV)

And be blessed

“God blesses those who work for peace, for they will be called the children of God.” (Matt. 5:9 NLT)

“Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us.” (Eph. 3:20. NIV)

We must not forget how amazing, awesome and powerful our God is!

He is able to do incredible things, the impossible, actually! As you read through the Bible from cover to cover you see amazing miracle after miracle as God does the impossible because He is God! And, “He is the same yesterday, today and forever.” (Heb. 13:8) Below are a few examples of the impossible things He has done. Understand that no matter how impossible your situation may seem to be, nothing is impossible for Him.

Jesus turns water into wine

“Jesus said to the servants, “Fill the jars with water.” And they filled them up to the brim. And he said to them, “Now draw some out and take it to the master of the feast.” So they took it. When the master of the feast tasted the water now become wine, and did not know where it came from (though the servants who had drawn the water knew), the master of the feast called the bridegroom and said to him, “Everyone serves the good wine first, and when people have drunk freely, then the poor wine. But you have kept the good wine until now.” (John 2:7-10 ESV)

Therefore, cast all your cares upon Him!

“Casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.” (1 Peter 5:7 NKJV)

The unchangeable character of His purpose

“For when God made a promise to Abraham, since he had no one greater by whom to swear, he swore by himself, saying, “Surely I will bless you and multiply you.”And thus Abraham, having patiently waited, obtained the promise. For people swear by something greater than themselves, and in all their disputes an oath is final for confirmation. So when God desired to show more convincingly to the heirs of the promise the unchangeable character of his purpose, he guaranteed it with an oath, so that by two unchangeable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled for refuge might have strong encouragement to hold fast to the hope set before us.” (Heb. 6:13-18 ESV)

A trustworthy statement

“It is a trustworthy statement deserving full acceptance. For it is for this we labor and strive, because we have fixed our hope on the living God, who is the Savior of all men, especially of believers.” (2 Tim. 4:9-10 NASB)

Jesus taught us to pray to God as “Our Father.”

“Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name.” (Matt. 6:9 NIV)

As your father, He gives you good gifts when you ask him

“Which of you, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him!”  (Matt. 7:9-11)

(Isa. 59:21 NASB)

“Our lives are a Christ-like fragrance rising up to God. But this fragrance is perceived differently by those who are being saved and by those who are perishing. To those who are perishing, we are a dreadful smell of death and doom. But to those who are being saved, we are a life-giving perfume. And who is adequate for such a task as this? You see, we are not like the many hucksters who preach for personal profit. We preach the word of God with sincerity and with Christ's authority, knowing that God is watching us.” (2 Cor. 2:15-17 NLT)
