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.
I am
always impressed when I read this passage at the sheer size of the
construction. Do you realize that the
sea could hold more than 10,000 gallons of water? Do you even know how large that is? Or that the altar was 15 feet tall! And all of these things was covered in bronze
– and that bronze wasn’t even measured!
In other
words, God’s provision is impressive.
God made bronze so plentiful in the days of Solomon that they didn’t
even need to measure it. This is how
incredible God’s provision is. His
abundance outdoes even our greatest need.
Of
course, then it is important to realize that from a New Testament perspective,
we are the temple of God. We are the
ones into whom God pours His provision.
We are the ones who bear the abundance of God. So I have to ask myself if I live a life that
reflects this abundance. Do I live a
life that pours out God’s love, grace, and mercy that He pours into me?
