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.
In
this chapter we see the people of Benjamin receive their inheritance. This is a neat chapter to again return to
this idea of provision. God gives out
this inheritance near the top of the list of the tribes, showing its
importance.
Within
the boundaries of Benjamin is Jerusalem.
The tribe of Benjamin receives one of the most important cities in the history
of the world. God has provided them with
an incredible provision!
That
being said, we know that the people of Benjamin also struggle to capture
Jerusalem. In fact, it is David who will
capture the city and make it his own.
Although God has given an incredible provision, it does not mean that
the people have an easy stroll into God’s provision.
The
message of these inheritance chapters is that God can provide, empower, equip,
and conquer. But it isn’t necessarily
easy. And it isn’t at all simple. Neither is it a quick process to get to where
God is calling us. But it is worth it. It is worth the struggle. And it is absolutely worth understanding that
God’s provision is incredible and all that we need. Just like God giving the people of Benjamin
the greatest city in the history of the world, so is God’s provision for us in
Christ.
