For When You Need a Reminder that God Will Provide
By Debbie McDaniel
"The Lord will guide you always; he will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land and will strengthen your frame. You will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail." Isaiah 58:11
Where God guides, He promises to provide.
Maybe you've been waiting, or have been praying, for help, for a breakthrough. Maybe you feel like it's been slow in coming, or that you can't see a way out of your current situation. Maybe the needs seem to far outweigh the reality you're living in. You've lost hope, feel alone in the struggle, and the weight of stress seems too hard to keep shouldering.
Whatever the need - physical, spiritual, financial, emotional, relational - His Truth reminds us...He's got this thing that concerns you.
He is able.
Fully.
To provide what you need and to give the strength and endurance you need in hard times.
Looking up to God again and believing His promises are true will allow hope to spring up fresh within us. His Spirit will surround us in peace. But if we’re spending all our time just looking around us, at our current circumstances, or how we’re comparing with the next person over, we’ll only stir up worry and stress.
He promises:
"The Lord will guide you always; he will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land and will strengthen your frame. You will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail." Isaiah 58:11
He will guide us always.
He will satisfy our needs, even in desert times.
He will strengthen us.
He will allow us to still flourish right in the midst of the needs that surround. For His very Spirit that wells up within us, is the spring that never fails, never dries up, and never stops flowing.
Resting in that truth today. Hope you are too.
Peace.
Intersecting Faith & Life: If you find yourself struggling today, or you’re finding it hard to trust, pray that God will help you get your eyes looking up to Him and off your problems.“Dear God, thank you that no situation is too far out of your control to provide. For you are Jehovah-Jireh, the God who provides. Forgive us for doubting you, for worrying, and for trying so hard to work everything out on our own. Help us to trust you more, help us in our unbelief. We choose to recognize and to believe that you are Able to accomplish far more, to do far greater, than we even thought possible. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”

The process of success is not hidden. It is on display for anyone to see. However, it is a daily grind that requires a great deal of work that is tedious and often uncomfortable. Successful people simply do the work. They embrace the grind and everything that comes with it. Ultimately, successful people understand this truth - Hope doesn’t produce change. Habits do! Everyone has the desire, but many lack the necessary discipline! That’s why today on The Built Different Podcast we have a very special guest who understands the importance of discipline and habits at a very high level. Don’t just focus on changing the thoughts in your head and the habits in your life, but also allow God to transform your heart from the inside out.
