The Hand of the Lord


July 29

“The eyes of all look hopefully to you, and you give them their food in due season; you open your hand and satisfy the desire of every living thing.”

Let’s break this apart.

We all look to Him. He gives, He provides. He satisfies. Hopeful. Due Season. Desires.

When we look to our Father, our heart must be hopeful that He can, and will, provide. Yet, it’s so easy to get impatient, worried, afraid… and we try and do it on our own.
He provides for us in due season; this means He gives us what He wants us to have in His time… not ours.

Finally, our desires must be pure… they must be His desires for us.

When I stop and reread the above passage, I am reminded how good He is… how perfect His timing is… and how lovely the desires of my heart are when in line with His perfection.

My Father truly has, does, and will continue to provide all the needs and wants of my heart.

And He will do the same for you.
Entrust this to Him. Have faith He will provide. And let go.
