Provision...we as Christians are more than familiar with that word.  We believe and have faith that our God is Jehovah Jireh...God, our Provider.  We are reminded by the Apostle Paul in Phillipians 4 of this very thing.  Indeed, our God DOES supply (provides) for all of our needs.

We also tend to think that this is mainly speaking of monitary needs, food, or shelter.  Ahh...but, my friends, it goes way beyond that.   What about how He provides His grace and mercy at "just the right time"?  Or, how about those times when we are afraid, or worried, does He not provide His peace?  Those times when laughter will not come, and tears flow freely...does He not provide us with His joy and His compassion?  He knows exactly what we need at exactly the right time...not a minute too soon or too late.

I read something really neat and wanted to pass it on.  Why not take time to reflect on those times God's hand of provision was more than obvious?  Pick one specific time, and celebrate it...make an anniversary of it.  This is what the early Jewish holidays, such as Passover, were based on.  It will continually bring to mind the faithfulness of our God.  Just a thought...

Mercy and grace to you all...
