SCRIPTURE:

But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:19)

DEVOTIONAL:

A scriptural example of this is Joseph working as a slave in the house of Potiphar, a high-ranking officer of Pharaoh. Potiphar saw that the Lord was with Joseph and made Joseph overseer of his house and all that he had. The Bible says, “So Potiphar left everything he had in Joseph’s  care; with Joseph in charge, he did not concern himself with anything except the food he ate” (Genesis 39:6, NIV). Because of Joseph, Potiphar only had to be concerned with his assignment, not his provision, just like Adam was at the first. 

This is how everyone should be living in the Body of Christ. We take the time to find out what our assignment is from God, then we step toward it, believing—and confidently knowing—that everything needed to complete it is provided!

In the Garden, before the fall, Adam did not have a single care about his provision. God was his Provider who took care of every need he and Eve had. This was the purpose of the Sabbath. It was a reminder that God would one day bring His people—you and me—back to the place where we could rest in His provision, as Adam did in the beginning.

PRAYER:

Father, I am so grateful for the provision You have given me to meet all the needs of my family and me, so that we can fulfill Your divine assignments without distraction or outside pressure. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
