He Provides

Helplessness. If I'm being completely honest, it's probably the number one reason that I believe in God. I have that need to know that someone is taking care of the things I can't handle, because there's an unfortunate large amount. And the thing is, God not only has a on his  "to do" list but he also has it crossed off because it is already done! Now that is definitely something that I alone could not do.

God is amazing at his job. It's in his job description "I am strong when you are weak,"and he follows through. The hard part comes in truly trusting him though. We like to pridefully "macho" things out. We can handle anything that you throw at us, until we can't.

 The truth is human beings are kind of weak. We require certain temperature ranges, otherwise we perish. We need certain amount of nutrition daily, or we perish. We need to exercise our minds and bodies to have healthy organ systems or a perish. We are truly quite dependent upon a number of things to keep us alive and healthy yet we seem to think that we are all we need. This, as you can see, could not be further from the truth.

God, on the other hand, has none of our weaknesses. He truly does not need another, he can handle it. God doesn't need us, yet he loves us anyways and he wants to fill in the cracks that our weaknesses create. Yet again we complain and gripe about not only every obstacle that's in our way, but also the ones that someday could be in our way. We are the Israelites in the desert, we don't realize a good thing we have it.

Reading through the book of Exodus, I am amazed at how many times the Israelites complained about the same thing. We have no water! Boom! God turns poison water into potable water. We are thirsty! Bam! Well if you walk over here you will find some marvelous Springs with decorative  palm trees I had planned way back before there was even matter to make your mother's womb. God, where's the water?! Bang! Moses, why don't you check out that rock over there, it will help quench your thirst.

I mean how many times must God provide before the Israelites and us get the picture? God can handle it so get over yourself and your pride and let God take control of all your worries.
