The Lord is my Provision.

 The Lord Is My Provision

Not merely the supplier of my need,

But the very source from which all good proceeds.

Not a distant responder to my prayerful plea,

But the present and the promisedI-Am-to-me.

The Lord is my provision.

He is the manna in my barren place,

The spring that rises with unwasted grace.

When the cupboard of my hope is bare and thin,

He Himself is the bread that ushers life within.

And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:19)

The provision is not in the field or store,

But in the hand that holds the infinite more.

It is not in the harvest I have yet to see,

But in His faithful presence walking next to me.

The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing. (Psalm 23:1)

He clothes the lily in a splendor rare,

He knows the sparrow,numbers every hair.

And will He not,with covenant love so sure,

Clothe and keep His own,His treasure poor?

Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? (Matthew 6:26)

He provided wood for Abraham's obedience-fire,

And a ram for sacrifice,his deepest heart's desire.

Jehovah-Jireh—"The Lord Will Provide"—

Sees the need ahead,and walks there by our side.

So Abraham called that place The Lord Will Provide. And to this day it is said, “On the mountain of the Lord it will be provided.” (Genesis 22:14)

Let me not worship the gift, but the Giver's face,

Nor seek the blessing,but seek the God of grace.

For when I have the Giver,I have all indeed—

More than enough for every moment's need.

The Lord is my portion.

My daily bread.

My living water.

My table spread.

My future's security.

My present's grace.

The smile upon my Father's face.

Therefore, I will not worry. I will not fear.

My provision is already here.

Not just in things,but in the great I AM—

The beginning,the end, the great Amen.

Amen.

The Provision of Presence:

This truth reframes our understanding of what it means to be provided for, anchoring it in God's character.

· Philippians 4:19 promises the supply of all needs, according to the limitless riches found in Christ—a spiritual economy.

· Psalm 23:1 declares that with the Lord as our shepherd, lack is impossible. He is the environment of our sufficiency.

· Matthew 6:25-34 shifts our focus from anxiety over provisions to trust in the Provider, who values us infinitely.

· Genesis 22:14 reveals God's provision is often at the point of obedience, sometimes at the last moment, and always according to His perfect will and wisdom.

To say "The Lord is my provision" is to move from a mindset of scarcity to one of stewardship and trust. It is to acknowledge that our deepest need is for Him, and that every other need finds its proper meeting within that primary, fulfilled relationship. He does not just give bread; He is the Bread of Life (John 6:35). He withholds no good thing from those who walk uprightly (Psalm 84:11), defining "good" by His own perfect, fatherly wisdom.
