When we talk about the Lord's provision, we refer often to His comments about the sparrows and the flowers of the field - doesn't He know they need to eat? Doesn't He clothe them in glory, though they are so fleeting? How much more so, then, will He do the same for us.
But the same promise is written in Proverbs, as well. God will not let the righteous go hungry.
You don't have to worry about what you will eat or how you will provide for things; God is providing for you.
Listen, He gave manna to a rebellious people in the wilderness, didn't He? How much more will He give you good things when you are at least trying to be faithful.
That doesn't mean you get everything you want. That doesn't mean the provision looks like what you've been praying and hoping for. It doesn't mean your life is suddenly comfortable or luxurious.
God gave manna in the desert, but the people had to go out and pick it up. He didn't DoorDash it to the fronts of their tents. He dropped quail on them, knee-deep, when they wanted meat. He told them they would eat quail until it came out of their noses, and they did. They ate quail until they were grumbling about quail. They ate manna until they were grumbling about manna.
But they didn't go hungry.
God doesn't leave His people empty.
If you are His, He will provide for you.
Don't worry about it.
