Discipleship Focus: Provision
- Provision: God gives us what we truly need. God knows our needs better than we can know them. We learn to trust God to provide for us.
It wouldn’t seem right to get through Leviticus without even once
talking about provision. After all, this
sacrificial system had two purposes. The
first purpose is to give sacrificially to God for the sake of atonement and
fellowship. But the second purpose was
so that the priests who were serving the Lord would have access to meat and
grains since they couldn’t be out in the world producing it themselves. At some level, Leviticus is always about
provision.
The neat thing about this idea is that it truly does show us God’s
provision. God does know what we need
before we know we need it. Therefore, we
don’t need to worry about our needs.
Rather, if we focus on God’s desire and accomplishing His ways, God will
take care of our needs. When our
perspective is truly on God, we find that God has truly already given us all
that we need.
