Daily Provision
Daily Provision3
Sufficient for Each Day
By Theodore Epp01KI 17:8Theodore Epp emphasizes the importance of relying on God's daily provision, as illustrated by Elijah's experience and the widow of Zarephath. Despite the dire circumstances, both demonstrated faith in God's ability to meet their needs one day at a time. Epp draws parallels to the necessity of daily grace, highlighting that we cannot stockpile God's grace for future use but must seek it anew each day. Just as the widow and Elijah received sustenance daily, believers are encouraged to approach God each morning for their spiritual nourishment. The sermon reminds us that God's grace is sufficient for each day, reinforcing the prayer for our daily bread.
And His Allowance Was a Continual Allowance Given Him of the King
By C.H. Spurgeon0LAM 3:22MAT 6:11C.H. Spurgeon emphasizes the significance of daily provision in the life of believers, drawing a parallel with Jehoiachin, who received a continual allowance from the king. He illustrates that God's people are granted daily sustenance, which is all they truly need, as tomorrow's needs are not yet present. Spurgeon encourages contentment with God's daily blessings, asserting that having enough for each day alleviates the burdens of excess and anxiety. He reminds us that a craving for more than our daily needs is ungrateful, and we should be thankful for the gracious and perpetual portion provided by our Heavenly Father.
A Portion for Each Day
By C.H. Spurgeon02KI 25:29C.H. Spurgeon emphasizes the significance of receiving a daily portion from God, as illustrated by Jehoiachin's experience of dining regularly in the presence of the king of Babylon. He explains that just as Jehoiachin was provided with daily sustenance, believers are granted daily grace and strength, which is all they truly need. Spurgeon encourages Christians to trust in God's provision for each day, rather than worrying about future needs, and to find contentment in the sufficiency of God's daily allowance. He highlights that this daily provision is a gracious gift from the King, meant to foster gratitude and reliance on God. Ultimately, Spurgeon reassures believers that they can find renewed grace and strength through prayer, meditation, and waiting upon God.
