Fasting and Praying day 7

Topic: God our provider
Test: 1 kings 17:1-7


God has always promised to provide for us, and his condition to fulfill the promise is the same both in the old and New Testament, which is that we should follow his word. It becomes difficult to obey God and enjoy his promise because our desire comes into play. That's why it is risky to trust any preacher who teaches that we should follow our desires. James 1 says our temptation comes from our desire. When the devil wants to get us he asks us what is our desire, but when God wants to get us He asks us to follow His word. When Jesus was on mountain fasting 40 days and 40 nights, he desired food and the devil tried to use it against Him. You can turn this stone into bread he said, and Jesus answers He only needs the word. At the moment of scarcity Elijah followed the word of God and God used raven to feed him. Whatever I'm doing today came out of the word of God. If I follow my desire, I won't have a story to inspire the people that message me daily. Our desire seeks fantasies, but God's provision produces testimonies. When God provides you will eat with peace and satisfaction, but when our desire provides we become desperate for more. Every wise person seeks satisfaction, I know and trust me only Jesus can give you that peace and satisfaction you seek.
