"Those who work their land will have abundant food." Prov 12:11. Our needs will never exhaust God's supply. Just look at nature. Deer do not prepare for winter. When the snow comes they eat whatever they can find along the way. But squirrels would starve if they followed that example. They would be unable to find suitable food. So they find and bury acorns in a safe, accessible place. The deer and squirrel represent ways that God cares for us. He enables us to work and save for the future, and He meets our needs when resources are scarce. He gives us seasons of plenty so we can prepare for seasons of need. He also wants those with plenty to share with those in need. So when it comes to provision, His message is this: Work while we can, save what we can, share what we can, and trust Him to meet our needs. Thank You, Lord, for the promise that You will meet our needs. Help us not to fear or doubt. Amen!
