The Lord Who Provides — From Big Miracles to Daily Bread

We all love the moments when God shows up just in time. Those unmistakable, goosebump-inducing moments when you can clearly see His hand at work — a door opens, a need is met, a prayer is answered in a way only He could orchestrate.

Genesis 22:14 — “So Abraham called the name of that place, The Lord Will Provide; as it is said to this day, ‘On the mount of the Lord it shall be provided.

That’s what Abraham experienced in Genesis 22. When God provided the ram in place of Isaac, Abraham named that place Jehovah Jireh, meaning “The Lord Will Provide.” It became a lasting reminder that no matter how uncertain the path looked, God would always make a way.

But what about the in-between moments — the days that feel ordinary, routine, or even uncertain?

That’s where daily provision comes in.

Matthew 6:11 — “Give us today our daily bread.

In Matthew 6, Jesus reminds us to pray, “Give us this day our daily bread.” It’s not a prayer for abundance or luxury — it’s a quiet request for what we need today. Nothing more, nothing less. It’s a call to trust that the same God who provided the ram for Abraham also provides for you each morning, each meal, and each moment.

God’s provision doesn’t always look like a grand miracle. Sometimes, it’s a kind word from a friend, an unexpected check in the mail, or peace that steadies your heart when everything feels uncertain.

This week, take time to pause and notice both kinds of provision — the miraculous and the mundane — and give thanks for the God who provides it all.
