#FEARLESS365 is a yearlong study of God’s commandment to us to live without fear. For 365 days, we will focus on one scripture and volunteers from all over the world will share their personal thoughts and what God has shared with them on the specific verse. For more info… go here.
Elijah said to her, “Don’t be afraid. Go home and do as you have said. But first make a small loaf of bread for me from what you have and bring it to me, and then make something for yourself and your son.
1 Kings 17:13
This verse is telling me that the Lord will provide, even if I feel I have nothing he will show me through my faith and obedience in him and his power that he will make a way. When we are afraid it is easy to lose faith in God and remember that in him all things are possible.
This verse has meaning to me because when I look back at my life there have been times of struggle and times where I’ve felt I didn’t have what I needed whether it be financially, emotionally or otherwise. When I look back at those times I realize that God provided for me, maybe not at the time or in the way that I thought but he provided and I was never alone.
The amazing thing I’ve learned in my life that even when I have fallen away and lost faith, somehow God shows me that I need to come back to him. He is always there with open arms and has accepted me back into his arms many times without fail and even if I wasn’t living or abiding by his word, I still believed and I was never alone.
I have always gotten through the tough times whatever they have been, and even when a tragedy strikes God shows me why eventually. We all need to remember to be obedient, have faith and trust God. He has a plan and when Satan rears his ugly head turn to God and ‘He will provide’ and never forsake any of his children which is all of us.
