Preparation for A Every Season

2) Provide

In times of change and transition, it helps to remember God’s provision in the past and ask in faith for His provision in the future. The early missionaries, Barnabas and Paul, reminded the people of Lystra that God “has shown kindness by giving you rain from heaven and crops in their seasons; He provides you with plenty of food and fills your hearts with joy” (Acts 14:17, NIV). One word—“provide”—can be repeated often in a new season, to remember and call upon God’s faithfulness.
