Our Generous Provider
Because the Lord has richly provided for us, we should respond generously to the needs of others.
October 28, 2025
Have you ever considered how generous the Lord is toward us? He created the earth and all it contains. He made the sun to both give light and help living things to thrive, and He sends rain to water the land and quench our thirst.
God’s abundant provision for physical needs should cause us to stand in awe of His love and care for us, but His generosity doesn’t end there. He has also provided for all our spiritual needs through His Son. By means of Jesus’ death on the cross, we are reconciled to the Father and given a wealth of blessings: His Word supplies guidance, His Spirit empowers us and transforms us into Christ’s image, and His church offers encouragement and support. Yet His generosity goes even further than this.
The Lord has also given us the promise of an inheritance in heaven (1 Peter 1:4). All that He’s prepared for us is beyond our human understanding, but Revelation 21:1-27 and Revelation 22:1-21 describe the new heaven and earth as a place of abundance and blessing.
Since the Lord has so richly provided for us, our first response should be gratitude, followed by generosity toward others. Based on His example, let’s tend to more than physical needs. We can also help spiritually by encouraging fellow believers and proclaiming the gospel to people who don’t yet know Jesus.
Bible in One Year: Luke 17-19
