The
Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
- Psalm 23:1 (NIV)
My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth.”
- Psalm 121:2 (NIV)
It’s
easy to say we trust God as our Provider—until we’re faced with uncertainty.
The waiting. The unknowns. The moments when we start doing mental math and
wondering how everything is going to work out.
Over the past year, my husband and I have both faced health challenges and lost our jobs just a few months apart. While we have both recovered from the job loss and are truly happy in our new roles, the health challenges have brought changes that will stay with us long term. They have required adjustments, patience, and a deeper dependence on God than we may have known before.
Trusting God with provision isn’t always about money or resources. Sometimes it’s about trusting Him with time, energy, direction, or even patience. We want answers quickly, solutions clearly laid out, and reassurance that everything will be okay. God often provides those things—but not always on our timeline.
In Scripture, God is revealed as Jehovah-Jireh, the Lord who provides. His provision is intentional and timely. When David says, “I shall not want,” he isn’t claiming a life of abundance—he’s declaring trust. Trust that the Shepherd sees the full picture and will supply exactly what is needed, exactly when it is needed.
Jehovah-Jireh provides not only for our physical needs, but for our hearts. He gives us peace when answers are slow to come and strength when resources feel thin. When we begin to trust Him as our Provider, anxiety loosens its grip and gratitude begins to grow.
