The Bible says in, Nehemiah 9 v 21, “Yea, forty years didst thou sustain them in the wilderness, so that they lacked nothing; their clothes waxed not old, and their feet swelled not.” When God’s people, the Israelites were in the wilderness, He took great care of them, and provided their every need. Imagine being in a wilderness, a vast desert for forty years, the thought of it would be unbearable, you could not survive, nor would they have, if God had not taken care of them.
To make sure they would not get lost, He guided them with a pillar of cloud by day, and a pillar of fire by night. When they were thirsty He gave them water from a rock, and would give them manna to eat. Every morning a fresh supply would appear outside their tents, it tasted like wafers made with honey, and when they wanted meat, God sent quails for them to eat, everything they needed was provided.
It says in Nehemiah that that, “Their clothes waxed not old,” imagine even their clothes did not wear out, they lasted those forty years, even the strongest materials that we have today couldn’t do that.
And, so it is today, God will provide our every need, not with indestructible clothes, or manna to eat, God always does new things, but He will look after us and guide us through the hard times in our lives.
God’s love for us is guaranteed, His loving care is guaranteed and His Word the Bible is a beacon for us, comforting, helping and guiding us through to victory.
“But my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.”
{Philippians 4 v 19}. DB.
