It’s easy to trust God when times are good, isn’t it? When you have plenty of food, the home is good, the car is good, and you have a closet full of clothes. In fact, the better things are, the less we think about God being the One who provided it all. We start to think how our hard work and talent provided it all. Maybe you’re working so hard to keep it all afloat you don’t have time to think about God. You got your bills here, a paycheck here. It’s not faith…it’s math. But then you face a test or scarcity. All of the sudden, you can’t pay the bills. Your hard work doesn’t result in more pay. The bills keep coming. The check engine light is coming on, and you put a post it on the dash to cover it up. Or maybe things are stable, but you feel God nudging you to give to your church or a charity, and you’re like, “God I don’t have enough as it is!” When things become scarce, and all you see is sand and stones, that’s the test. Do you trust God’s provision or your own? Is He really my provider, or am I in this alone? Here’s where we need to do what Jesus did: answer with scripture. These are the words of Jesus a little while after his tests in the desert, and you can see He has some personal experience trusting God with scarcity. Matthew 6:32-33 says “So don’t worry about these things, saying, ‘What will we eat? What will we drink? What will we wear?’ These things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers, but your heavenly Father already knows all your needs. Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and He will give you everything you need.”
