He Provides All That He Requires of You

.Recently, I was listening to a devotional, and this phrase struck me: He provides all that He requires of you. We serve such a good and loving Father. He asks us to do things for Him, but doesn’t leave us helpless, scrambling to figure things out on our own.  He equips us with everything we need to fulfill those tasks. 

We see this time and again in the Old Testament. When God commanded rest, He provided the Sabbath. When He asked Abraham to make a sacrifice, He provided the ram to take Isaac’s place. When the Israelites needed a way out, He parted the Red Sea and dried the land so they could cross. 

When Joshua took over leadership of the Israelites, he must have felt overwhelmed by the responsibility of leading the people into new lands. But God reassured him, saying, “Be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or panic before them. For the Lord your God will personally go ahead of you. He will neither fail you nor abandon you.” (Deuteronomy 31:6)  

God not only called Joshua to lead, but He also provided the courage and assurance that He would be with him. 

Similarly, when we feel out of our element when doing the Lord’s work,  He will provide us with everything we need. Whether it’s the ability to love our campers with His love or knowing how to respond to our mentees in a tough situation, He is faithful to provide. 

Being a part of T.R.A.C. and T.R.A.C.life calls for sacrifice, dedication, compassion, and consistency. But rest assured, the Lord will provide all that He requires of us. All we need to do is ask Him.
