Opened Eyes

 

I will open your eyes
so you can see

what I have provided
for you

and I will be with you
so you can grow

into all I’ve meant
you to.

**********

My eyes are opened to Your provision, for You are with me.

“And God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water. Then she went and filled the skin with water, and gave the lad a drink.”

“So God was with the lad; and he grew and dwelt in the wilderness, and became an archer.”

Genesis 21:19,20 NKJV

Shut In

 

Trust Me to
provide you with

everything
you’ll need

as I shut the door
on yesterday

and draw you close
to Me.

**********

I am okay when doors are closed, for You are with me.

“So those that entered, male and female of all flesh, went in as God had commanded him; and the LORD shut him in.”

Genesis 7:16 NKJV

The Lifter

 

I am the lifter
of your head

My kindness
you’ll be shown

as you sit before Me
all your days

and My provision
is made known.

You establish Your kindness to me.

“Now it came to pass in the thirty-seventh year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the twenty fifth day of the month, that Evil-Merodach king of Babylon, in the first year of his reign, lifted up the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah and brought him out of prison. And he spoke kindly to him and gave him a more prominent seat than those of the kings who were with him in Babylon. So Jehoiachin changed from his prison garments, and he ate bread regularly before the king all the days of his life. And as for his provisions, there was a regular ration given him by the king of Babylon, a portion for each day until the day of his death, all the days of his life.” Jeremiah 52:31,32,33,34 NKJV

You Shall Have Enough

 

Earthly riches
are not forever
and a man made crown
endures just so long

but My presence
is for now and always
and My provision
goes on and on.

A laid down life has enough.

“Be diligent to know the state of your fields, and attend to your herds; for riches are not forever, nor does a crown endure to all generations. The lambs will provide your clothing, and the goats the price of a field; you shall have enough goats milk for your food, for the food of your household, and the nourishment of your maidservants.” Proverbs 27:23,24,26,27 NKJV

What Have You On Hand?

“Now therefore, what have you on hand? Give me five loaves of bread in my hand, or whatever can be found.”  1 Samuel 21:3

The world is in a constant state of emergency.

Lord, please move in us that they will see You as their only Hope and Provider.  And here is a simple poem . . .

Provision

What do you have on hand
for those who are hungry
that are forced to flee
all they have known?
I will provide you with
exactly what they need now
making from your prayers
their shelter and their home.

Commanding His Blessing

“And if you say, ‘What shall we eat in the seventh year, since we shall not sow nor gather in our produce?’
Then I will command My blessing on you in the sixth year, and it will bring forth produce enough for three years.” Leviticus 25:21-22

As God instructed the children of Israel about giving the land a sabbath rest every seventh year, He also had every intention of providing for them to be able to do as He commanded.

Thank You, Lord, that You never ask of us anything beyond what You have ready to provide. And here’s a simple poem . . .

Provision Made

The task seems impossible
how could He ask me to try
but I hear God’s voice
explaining to me why
I can do this
because He’s covered me
the salvation of His provision
being my forever guarantee.
