Perfect Provision
Based on Exodus 23-24, Matthew 20:1-16
As we mentioned previously, God does everything JUST RIGHT! He provides fairly. He gives us enough, no more no less, so that we never lack or have to scramble to store more than we need. Although God sometimes does bless us abundantly more than we could imagine, in those cases, we should share those blessings!
"And ye shall serve the Lord your God, and he shall bless thy bread, and thy water; and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee. There shall nothing cast their young, nor be barren, in thy land: the number of thy days I will fulfil." Exodus 23:25-26.
True fulfillment doesn't only mean receiving what we need; it means getting rid of what we don't need! That's God's perfect provision! God blesses & multiplies our necessities, but He takes away our diseases! PERFECT BALANCE! But we must trust & serve The Lord with our whole heart to experience that kind of fulfillment. We can't hold onto unbelief!
"And he took the book of the covenant, and read in the audience of the people: and they said, All that the Lord hath said will we do, and be obedient. And Moses took the blood, and sprinkled it on the people, and said, Behold the blood of the covenant, which the Lord hath made with you concerning all these words."
Exodus 24:7-8.
Obedience precedes the promise! Obedience to all of God's Word is the entryway into a life perfectly provided for by God! He drives out diseases and our enemies when we choose NOT to be an enemy of God!
"And when they came that were hired about the eleventh hour, they received every man a penny. But when the first came, they supposed that they should have received more; and they likewise received every man a penny." Matthew 20:9-10.
Everyone deserves to be blessed by God, and God provides perfectly & justly to all who ask! When we look around & start comparing our blessings, we become envious & covetous, but God knows exactly what we need, when we need it. All our needs are different! There is a perfect purpose for all of God's perfect provision!

A Moment of Silence.
As was powerfully preached this past Wednesday, "Let there be light" were the first words spoken by God in Genesis 1:3... And He wasn't necessarily speaking about a physical manifestation... But a Spiritual one. Knowing that creation Would mean redemption. It would mean... Heaven needs to touch earth... Light would need to pierce the veil of darkness... The process of creating was ongoing... All the way to the point of creating in us clean hearts (Psalm 51:10) by being born again of water &...
