Ngunit higit sa lahat ay pagsikapan ninyo na kayo’y pagharian ng Diyos at mamuhay nang ayon sa Kanyang kalooban, at ibibigay Niya sa inyo ang lahat ng inyong pangangailangan.

Mateo 6:33

Naranasan mo na bang mawalan o magkulang? ‘Yung tipong walang-wala ka na, akala mo wala nang pag-asa, tapos biglang may blessing na darating. Mapapa-“Thank You, Lord” ka talaga. 

God describes Himself as a loving Father who takes delight in supplying the needs of His children. He gives us food, clothing, shelter, and everything we need to live decently. His provision goes beyond our physical needs. He promises rest when we are weary, He guides our steps to fulfill His purpose in our lives. He lavishes us with His grace in times of trials and difficulties. He showers us with strength and wisdom to face life’s challenges. He saves and protects us from all harm. He grants us peace and satisfaction in His presence. He heals us when we are sick, forgives us when we sin, and embraces us when we are troubled.

Matthew 7:11 (ESV) assures us of God’s provision. It says, “If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him!”

Provision comes from the Latin word Providere which means “foresight or to look ahead.” Ibig sabihin, bago mo pa hingin, alam na ng Diyos. Nakita na Niya na kailangan mo ‘yun kaya makakaasa kang darating ‘yun sa oras at panahon na itinakda ng Diyos.

Everything is already in the hands of God, waiting to be “added” to our lives while we strive to seek first His kingdom and live according to His perfect will.
