God's Provision May Look Different Than What We Expect

"God will always provide, it just might look different than what we had in mind." Unknown

 In our lives, and especially in our journey of faith, we question how, and even if, God is going to provide for us within certain times that we are in; where it seems impossible that we are ever going to be able to accomplish what we need to or have enough to do so. Maybe this is how you are feeling today; like God isn't providing you with what you need, and you are confused. You know that He has called you here, so why isn't He providing for you along the way like He said He would? But you see, my friend, did you ever stop to consider that maybe, just maybe, you are looking in all the wrong places?
 Now what do I mean by this exactly? Well, let me get something straight first of all, and that is that God is always going to provide for you, no matter where it is that you are or who you are, God has promised us that is He is going to provide us with all that we need to live the life that He has for us, and just because you aren't seeing him provide for you right now doesn't mean that He isn't. See, so often we get our mind set on a certain way in which we think God should provide for us. We think that this way will be best. So we just plan on this way, our way, happening. But when it doesn't, we get lost, we get confused, and we get frustrated, without realizing that God's provision most likely looks different than what you had thought up yourself. God's provision may look like something completely different than what you thought it should, but God knows that it is exactly what you were needing, and without you even knowing it. You just have to open your eyes a bit wider and get out of the mindset of what we think is best. God is the one in control of our lives and He is going to not only provide, but work so that we are able to live the best life possible; the life that He has for us. You, my friend, just need to trust in Him.
