God Provides

Submitted by proberts

Biblical as well as modern-day examples demonstrate this general cycle: First, God provides for His people all by Himself. Then His people remember that they can depend on Him. Then they forget. Then God provides for His people all by Himself again so that His people are reminded to depend on Him… and on and on. As of now, our western religion is helping us to stay perpetually within the forgetful stage of that cycle. We are sticking to the conviction that God doesn’t know what’s best for us, so we’d better make up for where we think He’s falling short.

But this flies in the face of Christ's promise, which is that He will work out every secondary concern on our behalf if we make Him our First Concern. There is no surer way to have all the secondary things worked out than to trust Christ. He provides everything we need, from the little things, such as physical security all the way up to the bigger things such as Spirit-based living and freedom from sin.
In the Bible as well as in my personal experience there are never more than a few people who consistently remember God. Even amongst all the people who know in their heads that God is real, there is still only a few who persistently live according to the basic lessons He has taught them.
How much will it cost us to follow Christ? Only the entirety of our lives, past and present. And to what end does Christ call us to sacrifice our everything? We trade in our empty selves for the chance to know Him. He will lead us toward unconditional joy in such ways that we as yet lack the capacity to imagine. By following Christ, we invest in eternal imperishables as opposed to everything else in this world, which God has appointed for complete destruction.
