God will supply your need

Fear or poverty can't prevent God's care from reaching us and meeting our needs if we reach out to Him.

Barbara R. Banks

During periods of widespread economic difficulties, such as unemployment, increased costs, and decreased incomes, the struggle to meet the expenses of home, food, clothing, let alone the accompanying feeling of insecurity, can be a heavy burden. I know. I've been there! But I found that there is a way to cope with such problems.

The Bible tells of Hagar and her small son, who were sent out into the wilderness with only a little water and bread. The water was soon used up, and she sat down in despair, dreading to see the death of her child. But God opened her eyes, and right there, in that desert place, she found a well of water. Their lives were saved.

The children of Israel wandered for years in the wilderness and were fed with manna and supplied with water. And the Bible tells us their shoes and clothes did not wear out. The children of Israel were often frightened and doubtful, but they gradually learned to trust God more, and the proofs they had of His provision for them brought the courage to keep going.
