God Provides For and Supplies Your Need

Deeper Christian Podcast • Episode 124

We know that God takes care of the big issues and problems of life … but what about the small stuff?

Does God provide for every need? What about for every trial and difficulty?

In this episode, Nathan Johnson discusses the concept of God being Jehovah-Jireh and how He sees before the need is there and makes necessary provision and supply for the need.

As Moses declared, “…it is no better than madness, at this time to despair of the providence of God.”

  • Listen to a message by Eric Ludy on the same topic (“The Mayflower Screw”)
  • “Now when the Egyptians had overtaken the Hebrews, they prepared to fight them, and by their multitude they drove them into a narrow place; for the number that pursued after them was six hundred chariots, with fifty thousand horsemen, and two hundred thousand foot-men, all armed. They also seized on the passages by which they imagined the Hebrews might fly, shutting them up between inaccessible precipices and the sea … The Hebrews … if they should have thought of fighting . . . had no weapons; they expected a universal destruction, unless they delivered themselves up to the Egyptians. So they laid the blame on Moses, and forgot all the signs that had been wrought by God for the recovery of their freedom; and this so far, that their incredulity prompted them to throw stones at the prophet, while he encouraged them and promised them deliverance … But Moses, though the multitude looked fiercely at him, did not, however, give over the care of them, but despised all dangers, out of his trust in God … he said, ‘… it is no better than madness, at this time to despair of the providence of God.'” — Flavius Josephus (Antiquities of the Jews, Book 2, Chapter 15, Para 3-4)
  • “In the unknown future, the days of darkness shall be many; rains will descend, floods will arise, and winds will blow, and blessed shall he be whose house is built upon a rock. Crosses will be laid upon you for every hour, and cares will molest every day. Pilgrims of earth, ye must hold yourselves ready to traverse thorny ways, which your feet have not trodden heretofore; have your loins well girt about you, lest the trials of the wilderness should come upon you unawares. Your road leads o’er the barren mountain’s storm-vex’d height, and anon it dives into the swampy sunless valleys, and along it all you must bear more or less of affliction’s heavy load; arm yourselves with patience and faith, for you will need them every step of the march to “Jerusalem the Golden.” So surely as “the wintry wind moans deep and hollow o’er the leafless grove,” tribulation will await you frequently, for man is born to trouble as the sparks fly upward. Adversity is an estate entailed upon the sons of Adam. Learn this before it come to pass, that when it is come to pass, ye may not be surprised with any amazement. … Onward, soldiers of the cross, where Jesus has led the way. The eternal God is your refuge, and underneath you are the everlasting arms. You are not called upon to go a warfare at your own charges, neither are you left alone in the battle: the banner which waves over you bears the soul-assuring motto, ‘Jehovah-Jireh, the Lord will provide.'” — Charles Spurgeon (The Sword and Trowel: 1868)

Question: How has God provided for and supplied your need? (ie: how has He revealed Himself as Jehovah Jireh?)
