A. He has promised to supply our needs:PHI 4:19. But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. MAT 6:33. But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. PSA 23:1. The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. PSA 34:10. The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the LORD shall not want any good thing. PSA 37:25. I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread. MAT 7:7. Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: MAT 7:8. For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. MAT 7:9. Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone? MAT 7:10. Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent? MAT 7:11. If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him? ROM 8:32. He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things? DEU 2:7. For the LORD thy God hath blessed thee in all the works of thy hand: he knoweth thy walking through this great wilderness: these forty years the LORD thy God hath been with thee; thou hast lacked nothing. PSA 68:19. Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our salvation. Selah. PSA 81:10. I am the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt: open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it. MAL 3:10. Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it. MAT 6:8. Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him. MAT 6:25. Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? MAT 6:26. Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they? MAT 6:27. Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature? MAT 6:28. And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: MAT 6:29. And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. MAT 6:30. Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? MAT 6:31. Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? MAT 6:32. For after all these things do the Gentiles seek: for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. MAT 6:33. But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. MAT 6:34. Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof. B. God is the source of all supply:PSA 145:15. The eyes of all wait upon thee; and thou givest them their meat in due season. PSA 145:16. Thou openest thine hand, and satisfiest the desire of every living thing. 1CH 29:14. But who am I, and what is my people, that we should be able to offer so willingly after this sort? for all things come of thee, and of thine own have we given thee. PSA 104:13. He watereth the hills from his chambers: the earth is satisfied with the fruit of thy works. PSA 104:14. He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle, and herb for the service of man: that he may bring forth food out of the earth; PSA 104:15. And wine that maketh glad the heart of man, and oil to make his face to shine, and bread which strengtheneth man's heart. JAM 1:17. Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. PSA 65:9. Thou visitest the earth, and waterest it: thou greatly enrichest it with the river of God, which is full of water: thou preparest them corn, when thou hast so provided for it. PSA 65:10. Thou waterest the ridges thereof abundantly: thou settlest the furrows thereof: thou makest it soft with showers: thou blessest the springing thereof. PSA 65:11. Thou crownest the year with thy goodness; and thy paths drop fatness. PSA 65:12. They drop upon the pastures of the wilderness: and the little hills rejoice on every side. PSA 65:13. The pastures are clothed with flocks; the valleys also are covered over with corn; they shout for joy, they also sing. GEN 1:29. And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat. GEN 9:3. Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things. C. He owns the entire world:EXO 19:5. Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine: PSA 24:1. The earth is the LORD's, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein. PSA 50:10. For every beast of the forest is mine, and the cattle upon a thousand hills. PSA 50:11. I know all the fowls of the mountains: and the wild beasts of the field are mine. PSA 89:11. The heavens are thine, the earth also is thine: as for the world and the fulness thereof, thou hast founded them. |
