Speaker 3:

Abundant provision. In this episode of Mighty Moment we continue our 31-day journey looking at the best of the best scriptures from the Bible. These are awesome passages that you will want to remember. These are 88 of my personal favorite passages from the Bible my top 101 verses. The total list of verses is not in any particular order, but the pairings of three for each episode loosely tie together by a theme, but each verse is independently worth memorizing. Contact Mighty Moment if you'd like a copy of my best of the best list.

Speaker 3:

God's Word consistently reveals His character as a generous provider who delights in meeting His children's needs. From the Garden of Eden to the New Jerusalem, scripture testifies to God's abundant provision. These three passages Psalm 3410, john 1010, and Philippians 419, form a powerful trinity of promises that enlighten our understanding of God's limitless supply and invite us to experience His provision in increasingly profound ways. Number 32 on our list of the top 101 Bible verses is Psalm 34, verse 10. Reading from the New King James Version the young lions lack and suffer hunger, but those who seek the Lord shall not lack any good thing. The New International Version the lions may grow weak and hungry, but those who seek the Lord lack no good thing. In the Message Bible, young lions go hungry and thirst, but those who chase after God get plenty of everything. And the Living Bible even strong lions suffer from hunger and thirst, but those who obey the Lord lack no good thing. The verse begins by telling us that even the mighty lions go hungry and thirsty. This is an example that you cannot and are not strong enough to fight your own spiritual battles and provide for yourself. Every good gift comes from God. All that we have is a blessing from the Lord. God provides for us from His abundant bounty. Even the proud and the strong, like the lions, can be humbled by failure. God is saying here that I will take care of you and I am not a God who gets a kick out of hurting you. In fact, I am not going to withhold any good thing from you, like a father giving gifts to his children. If we have it and have the ability to give, we'll give it to our children. God has both resources and ability and he's going to keep this promise to provide for his children.

Speaker 3:

The Hebrew word for seek in this passage is derash, which carries a profound meaning beyond casual interest. It conveys an intentional, persistent pursuit, a deliberate investigation or inquiry after God. This isn't a half-hearted endeavor, but a wholehearted commitment to pursuing God above all else. And the Hebrew phrase good thing used in the verse tav encompasses not merely material provision, but complete well-being, wholeness, blessing and goodness in its fullest sense. The promise reveals that those who actively seek God will experience His comprehensive provision in every area of life. This isn't a promise of luxury, but of lack of nothing essential for our spiritual and material well-being according to God's perfect wisdom.

Speaker 3:

King David, who penned this psalm, understood firsthand the reality of God's provision in desperate circumstances. As a fugitive fleeing from King Saul, david experienced numerous instances where God provided unexpectedly, for example, where the priest Ahimelech provided the consecrated bread from the tabernacle when David had no food. Or later when, hiding in the cave of Adullam, supporters gathered around him bringing resources and protection when he was at his most vulnerable. David's journey from shepherd boy to king was marked by seasons of apparent lack, hiding in caves, fleeing for his life. Yet he could truthfully declare that those who seek the Lord lack no good thing.

Speaker 3:

Number 33 in our list is John 10.10, reading from the New King James Version the thief does not come except to steal and to kill and to destroy. I have come that they may have life and that they may have it more abundantly. The New International Version. The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I have come that they may have life and have it to the full. The Message Bible reads A thief is only there to steal and kill and destroy. I came so you can have real and eternal life, more and better life than you've ever dreamed of. And the Living Bible the thief's purpose is to steal and kill and destroy. My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life.

Speaker 3:

This verse starts with a stark comparison between a thief and God. We know what a thief does His character is to steal. In contrast, god's character is to give. In fact, there are three words to describe the thief listed in the verse—steal, kill and destroy. God does the opposite he gives, he gives eternal life and he blesses. God wants to bless us not only now, but also in the future. He does not just give us a rain check for eternal life someday and we are on our own now. He wants our lives, even here in this sin-torn world, to be better. Certainly we claim the beautiful promises of God that he will give us eternal life and heaven and new bodies someday. But God is also very concerned about your life right now. He is with us, helping us, comforting us, sustaining us, blessing us, protecting us and guiding us. God does not just want you to survive, but he wants you to thrive. Jeremiah 29.11 reminds us that God has plans for us not to harm us, but to give us hope and a future, and for us to prosper.

Speaker 3:

The Greek text of John 10.10 contains insights that illuminate this verse's profound meaning. The word translated as abundantly is prasann, which means exceeding the ordinary, extraordinary, remarkable, and conveys the idea of surpassing normal expectation. It suggests not merely quantity but quality, a fullness that overflows beyond ordinary measures. This abundant life encompasses the totality of what it means to be fully alive in relationship with God, experiencing wholeness, purpose, joy and peace, regardless of external circumstances. Jesus doesn't merely add years to our lives. He adds life to our years.

Speaker 3:

Number 34 on our list is Philippians 4.19, reading from the New King James Version and my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus and the New International Version and my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of His glory in Christ Jesus. And the Message Version reads and you can be sure that God will take care of everything you need, his generosity exceeding even yours, in the glory that pours from Jesus and the Living Bible, and I will do for you what you need. God will supply all your needs from His glorious riches, which have been given to you in Christ Jesus. The verse says that God will supply all our needs. This is a clear distinction between need and want. God here is promising to provide for our needs, not our wants.

Speaker 3:

I think the closer we get to God, the less physical possessions and personal things we desire and more and more we only desire Christ and what he wants for us. God here is promising to take care of us. So, while we may not eat cake every day, our bread will be sure. Like David in Psalm 37, verse 25 says I have never seen the righteous forsaken or their seed begging for bread God will ensure we have bread, and according to His riches. Since God owns everything, all is His meaning there is no limit to how he can provide. He will never run out of anything that we lack. There's an endless supply. Also, the verse says all our needs, meaning that we will lack nothing that we need. I don't need to worry. God has his eye on me.

Speaker 3:

I remember a story that was told to me once about a little boy who couldn't sleep. It was during a thunderstorm and he was worried about the storm. And he comes to his mother. She responds like a mother would tells him that it's going to be okay. Let her worry about the storm. Ten minutes later the little boy comes back and the mommy is wondering why are you back? And the little boy asks Mommy, are you still worrying? God never grows tired of worrying over us and providing for us. He is doting and he's a loving Father, always giving what we need, and he never stops thinking, providing or worrying about us.

Speaker 3:

Philippians 4.19 offers believers extraordinary assurance of God's commitment to meet their needs. Paul wrote this from prison, yet he was confident in God's faithfulness and taking care of him. This isn't a blank check for material prosperity, but a guarantee that God will take care of us. In conclusion, the three passages explored in this episode Psalm 3410, john 1010, and Philippians 419, form a comprehensive portrait of God's abundant provision. David's testimony reminds us that those who earnestly seek God lack no good thing. Even when circumstances suggest otherwise, jesus reveals himself as the good shepherd whose purpose is to provide not merely existence but abundant life that transcends ordinary expectations, and Paul's prison-penned promise assures us that God's provision operates according to His infinite resources rather than human limitations.

Speaker 3:

Together, these passages invite believers into a transformed relationship with provision itself. Rather than anxiously striving or hoarding from fear of scarcity, we can live with open hands, receiving God's abundant supply and generously sharing it with others. This approach to provision doesn't guarantee freedom from material challenges, but promises that in every circumstance, god's provision will be perfectly sufficient for His purposes. In our lives, as we grow in trusting the provider rather than obsessing over provision, we discover the ultimate abundance the presence of God Himself, who satisfies our deepest hunger and quenches our most profound thirst. Friends, in our next episode, stillness and Trust, we will continue our look at the best of the best 88 Bible scripture passages by looking at numbers 35 to 39 in my top 101 favorite verses. We'll look at Psalm 46.10, proverbs 3.5 and 6, and Isaiah 41.10 and 13. 3, 5 and 6 and Isaiah 41, verses 10 and 13. I hope you've enjoyed our time together and I pray you have a mighty moment with God today.
