Living in God’s provision
And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.
- Philippians 4:19
Even on the hardest days, it is comforting to know that we serve a God of provision. Many times, we face challenges that seem insurmountable, whether in the financial, emotional, or spiritual area. Yet God’s promise is clear: He will supply all our needs.
God’s provision goes beyond what we can imagine. It is not only about material supply, but also about a peace that surpasses all understanding, a joy that is unshaken by circumstances, and a strength renewed every morning. When we trust in divine provision, we learn to rest, knowing that God is in control.
Let us remember the biblical stories that reveal God’s faithfulness in providing: the manna in the desert for the Israelites, the multiplication of loaves and fish to feed thousands. Each of these accounts encourages us to believe that the same God who provided in the past is the same who cares for us today.
Therefore, let us not allow anxiety and fear to dominate our hearts. Instead, let us lift our eyes to heaven and cry out to the God of provision, trusting that He will give us what we need at the right time. Let us thank Him for His faithfulness and keep our hope firm, knowing that in Christ we have access to every spiritual blessing.
May the certainty of God’s provision renew our faith and inspire us to live each day with trust and gratitude.

Yesterday's Devotional
Make room for God in your plans
The wicked in his proud countenance does not seek God;
God is in none of his thoughts.
- Psalm 10:4
We all make plans, dream, set new resolutions… and that is a good thing! We need to keep alive the flame of hope for better days, by the grace of the Lord. But the great danger is when we turn this good initiative into a way of distancing ourselves from our Lord…
Independence from God is one of the main characteristics of unbelievers. Since they do not trust in the Savior, they leave Him out of their projects and intentions. However, we, as children of God, need first of all to surrender control and our plans to the One who directs and governs our lives. May God be part of your planning and guide you in all your dreams!
Don’t leave Jesus out of your plans:
- Pray to God and surrender each of your dreams and plans to Him. Trust Him, and He will guide your steps in the right direction!
- Don’t be presumptuous and selfish in your decisions.
- Seek guidance in the Word of God to understand His will for your projects.
- Write a list of your purposes and dreams. This will help you follow them, always revisiting and adjusting them.
- Present your requests to God every day; do not give place to anxiety.
- With the Lord’s help, be dedicated and make an effort to achieve your goals.
- Take one step at a time, without doubting that God is good!
- Be grateful to God for each of your accomplishments…
Prayer:
My God, thank You for always being present! Today I want to invite You to be part of my plans. I have so many dreams, Lord… I need You to fulfill them according to Your will. I want to surrender everything to You, because without You I can do nothing. Help me not to be presumptuous, trying to hide my motivations from You. I surrender it all to You. Guide me and direct my steps. In Jesus’ name I pray, amen.
Day Before Yesterday's Devotional
Christian, rejoice when you are persecuted!
Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
Matthew 5:11-12
When Jesus spoke these words, He was delivering the famous "Sermon on the Mount." In these teachings, He succinctly presented the practical principles and values of the Kingdom of God. The "beatitudes" mark the beginning of this great discourse, bringing inverted standards about the "more than happy" life that Christians can experience.
When we live out our faith in Christ truly and intentionally, the world will oppose us, trying to insult and mistreat us. The Lord teaches us to fill ourselves with joy and contentment when we are persecuted for His sake. The work of Christ is precious! It is worth enduring hardships and insults for the sake of faith... Your reward with God will be much greater!
Rejoice in persecution:
- Pray daily to God, ask for His guidance and wisdom to deal with persecution.
- Do not be discouraged in your walk with God because of the difficulties you face. The Lord is by your side in every moment and sustains you.
- Strengthen your faith through the Word of God every day.
- Rejoice, praise, and thank God for the privilege of being persecuted for the sake of Jesus Christ.
- Intercede for the persecuted Church around the world. There are thousands of Christians who are constantly at risk of life and other harm because of their faith.
- Remain faithful to the Lord! Remember the example of suffering from the disciples, apostles, and the Lord Jesus Christ Himself, who even when persecuted, in prison, under threat of affliction and death, remained faithful until the end!
- Be careful not to be persecuted for a bad testimony or for acting unwisely!
Let’s Pray:
Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for always being by my side, even when I am insulted, wronged, and persecuted for being a Christian. Help me endure difficulties, keeping the faith firm and a good testimony wherever I go. Teach me to rejoice in afflictions and bring to my mind that which gives me hope. Bless all the brothers and sisters who suffer persecution around the world. I ask and thank You in the name of Jesus! Amen.
