There have been many times in my life (maybe in yours too?) where I didn’t know how I would get through a challenging time. Whether it be a financial struggle, housing issue, family difficulty or health concerns, somehow I made it through and more times than not, I have had to stop and thank God.
They say God is never late and is always right on time. Sometimes however, it feels like He gets there in just the nick of time, making us sweat it out. Or at times it can seem that He is indeed late. (Read John 11 about Lazarus). But regardless of what happens or what seems to happen, God somehow works things out.
Looking back on my life, I can see His hand providing for me in various ways. Using others, using situations, even using me.
I have come to have confidence in the Lord that He will provide. Time and time again. He tells us to trust in Him and watch Him provide. That is what we need to do daily. Trust that He will indeed provide.
Song
So the song for this edition of Worship Wednesday is God Provides by Tamela Mann. The lyrics (see below) and her voice stir something in me that sends me to a place of worship.
Join me and take a listen to Ms. Mann singing about how He provides.
God Provides (Lyrics)
Singer: Tamela Mann, Songwriter: Kirk Franklin
So why do I worry about my life
When you come to my rescue a thousand times
Every other voice it is a lie
God provides.
God provides
In ways I can’t explain and can’t deny
The little that I have He multiplies
Just when I feel He won’t show up on time
God provides
He’ll come through
When the clouds of doubt rain down on you
And test everything you thought you knew
Now you finally see what God can do, for you
So tonight
Close your eyes
There’s no more need to fight
Watch God provide
God provides
It’s hard to say when there’s no food to eat
Or what you see feels all that life will be
And will this be another year of misery, for me
But my faith, can’t survive on just things I see
And my feelings can’t control my destiny
See God I only want what you believe, for me
So tonight
Close your eyes
There’s no more need to fight, ooh
Watch God provide
God provides (yeah, He will provide)
God provides (before your eyes)
God provides (oh, He will, He will) provides
So tonight
Close your eyes
There’s no more need to fight
Watch God provide
God provides (He will provide)
God provides (before your eyes, He will)
God provides (whatever your need, I know that He will provide)
God provides (yes, He’ll step right in, in the nick of time, yes he will)
God provides (He’ll open the windows of Heaven)
God provides (and pour you out a blessing, you won’t have room to receive, yeah)
So tonight
Close your eyes
There’s no more need to fight
Watch God provide
Learn to lean on and lean into God.
Trust Him to provide for your every need.
Today, Tomorrow & Forever.
