In the kingdom of God, we find a culture different from that of our world.

We are often taught to be self-made, pull ourselves up by our bootstraps, and that it's the survival of the fittest.

God's kingdom turns these principles on their head. We are encouraged

to wait, trust, and receive from our God who supplies for our every need. Does your life mimic one of

trust and waiting, one of open hands and thankfulness.

we'll look at his provisional nature.

As we learn of God's intentions to meet our every need,

open your heart today to trust in this God who's our provider.
