The reason the Bible is filled with so many verses about divine provision is not to make us materialistic but to assure us of the Father’s unwavering concern. He has repeatedly promised to take care of us so we don’t need to concern ourselves about such things. We can focus our faith and our prayers on more important matters.

“Consider how the wild flowers grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today, and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, how much more will he clothe you—you of little faith!”

— Luke 12:27-28 (NIV)

Lord, help us to trust you for our daily needs. Amen.
