All human beings have needs. We have needs and concerns in our family life, our work
life, our social life, in our private life, in our finances and in every other aspect of our
lives. We all encounter situations in our lives. Sometimes those situations are so grave
that we feel overwhelmed.
Often we resort to prayerful begging. We have been taught throughout our lives that
whatever our need, all we have to do is get on our knees and pray that God will provide
what you need. Some ministers go to the extreme and use our needs as a way to solicit
donations. If you give something, God will pay you back.
This has always disturbed me. I know that there are hundreds of passages in the Bible
that can be used to convince us that we must first give and then receive. I believe as well
that this is true but the unfortunate part is that all of our attention is focused on giving to
get. This is a childish concept.
Provision according to the Miriam Webster Dictionary is: 1 a: the act or process of
providing b: the fact or state of being prepared beforehand c: a measure taken beforehand
to deal with a need or contingency.
