Do you believe in God’s special care for His children?

In Exodus, God miraculously provided food, water, clothing, and shelter on a daily basis for the Children of Israel. He parted the waters of the Red Sea, allowing them to cross, then closed the waters behind them and destroying their enemies.

In Joshua 6:20, the nation of Israel received God’s special care when God broke down the walls of Jericho. It received it in Joshua 10:12-14 when He caused the sun to set still for nearly a day as his people won the battle over their enemies.

Christians sometimes mistakenly assume they will receive God’s care only after reaching Heaven, but Jesus said that God will look after the needs and safety of His children here on Earth.

In Matthew 6:31-32, Jesus said “Therefore do not worry and be anxious, saying, What are we going to eat or, What are we going to have to drink? or What are we going to have to wear? For the Gentiles (heathen) wish for and crave and diligently seek all these things, and your heavenly Father knows well that you need them all.”

Jesus said in Matthew: “But seek first of all His Kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things taken together will be given you.”

This promise was not made to the world as a whole, but to His people, the ones who accept His plan of salvation.

When speaking of the world, He said it wishes and craves for things such as food and clothig. However, Christians are to place their trust in God.

And “your Heavenly Father knows well that you need them all.”

Many tough and unpredictable times will come during this life, and we are not to neglect the things He has directed us to do. But when we work, pray and put Him first, we will receive God’s special care.

Many books tell of God’s miracles. Volumes have been written about people who have been miraculously fed, clothed, and delivered from all sorts of disasters and certain death.

God’s angels often bring deliverance to His people in life and death situations.

Protection, provision, peace and joy are a result of God’s grace. Just as He cared for Israel, so will he take care of you.
