God Takes Care of His Children
By Joyce Webb 2011
Eat, Drink, Clothes:
“Take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? Or What shall we drink? Or How will we have clothes?
The Gentiles seek (look) for all these things. Your heavenly Father knows you have need of all these things.
Seek (look) first the Kingdom of God, and His righteousness, and all these things will be added unto you.
Take no thought about tomorrow, tomorrow will take care of itself. Each day has it own problems, let those problems be enough for today.” Matthew 6:31-34
Hairs of Your Head are Numbered:
“But the very hairs of your head are numbered.” Matthew 10:30
Plans (Orders) Our Steps:
“The steps of a good man are ordered (planned) by the Lord; and He delights (is happy) in his way.
Though (if) he fall, he will not be utterly cast down (completely destroyed , at a loss) for the Lord upholds him with His hand.” Psalm 37: 23, 24
God Sees Our Tears:
David said to God: “Put my tears into your bottle; Do you not remember them in your book?” Psalm 56:8
God told King Hezekiah, “I have heard your prayer, I have seen your tears.” Isaiah 38:5
“They that sow in tears, will reap in joy.” Psalms 126: 5 (sow means to plant seeds, reap is to harvest the field of plants) Many prayers we pray for years —in tears—– God hears—someday—-we will receive the answer with joy.
In heaven someday: “God will wipe away all tears from their eyes.”
Revelation 7: 17
God Knows Our Conversations:
“They that feared the Lord spoke often to each other, and the Lord listened and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before Him for them that feared the Lord, and thought upon His name.” Malachi 3: 16
God Holds Our Hands:
“For I the Lord thy Godwill hold your right hand, saying unto you, Fear not, I will help you.” Isaiah 41:13
God Supplies All Their Needs:
“My God will supply (give to fill) all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:19
God’s Love Is Everlasting:
“Yes, I have loved you with an everlasting love: therefore, with loving kindness I have pulled you to myself.” Jeremiah 31: 3
We Can Go in God’s Strength—not our own:
“I will go in the strength of the Lord God: “ Psalms 71:16
“Fear not; for I am with you: be not dismayed (sad, without hope): for I am thy God: I will strengthen you; yes, I will help you: yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness.” Isaiah 41:10
God Will Go With You Through Trouble:
“When you pass through the waters, I will be with you: and through the rivers, they will not overflow you: when you walk through the fire, you will not be burned: and the flame will not burn you.” Isaiah 43: 2 (No trouble will be too great—He will keep you through it all.)
God Will Keep Us in Old Age:
“And even to your old age I am He; and even to your white hair will I carry you: I have made you, and I will bear (carry) you; even I will carry, and deliver you.”
Isaiah 46: 4
God Will Keep You When You Are Tempted to do Wrong:
“There is no temptation that comes to you that is not common to man: but God is faithful, He will not let you be tempted more than you are able, but He will with the temptation also make a way of escape, so that you may bear it.” I Corinthians 10: 13
(We need to look for that “way of escape”.)
