God Gives Us Provision Before We Need It.

I was reading through Genesis 1 this morning and the Lord gave me this revelation in His word about His great provision. As He was forming the earth and all that was in it, He provided what we need before we needed it. On the third day, God created living plants. 

“God said, “Let the earth put forth grass, seed-producing plants, and fruit trees, each yielding its own kind of seed-bearing fruit, on the earth”; and that is how it was." Genesis 1:11 (CJSB)

It was two days later He created the living creatures on the fifth day. He created the birds and the seas creatures. Then on the sixth day He created lives stock, crawling animals, and wild beasts. This was the day He created the rest of the animals on the earth, including mankind. 

“Then God said, “Here! Throughout the whole earth I am giving you as food every seed-bearing plant and every tree with seed-bearing fruit. And to every wild animal, bird in the air and creature crawling on the earth, in which there is a living soul. I am giving as food every kind of green plant.”; and that is how it was." Genesis 1:29-30 (CJSB)

God provided the animals of the earth after He has already created the supply they needed to live. He was preparing what they needed before the very need existed. 

Another thing to note that I saw in this was that God created a job for mankind before He created mankind. 

“Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in the likeness of ourselves; and let them rule over the fish in the sea, the birds in the air, the animals, and over all the earth, and over every crawling creature that crawls on the earth.” Genesis 1:26 (CJSB)

Further to this, I am reminded of this passage from Ephesians:

“For we are of God’s making, created in union with the Messiah Yeshua for a life of good actions already prepared by God for us to do.” Ephesians 2:10 (CJSB)

So, whatever need you are seeking God in today, I want to encourage you to go back to His Word and the promises that are already in it. Whatever provision you need has already been supplied. God often teaches us to walk in faith before these things appear in the physical (read Hebrews 11). 

If you are waiting on a need, as Him what work He is calling you to do in this season that will glorify His Name! 

I pray this leaves you with the encouragement you need to seek Him in all you do, and rest assured your Heavenly Father has already provided every single need before you even ask. 

Ask. Seek. Find.
