Moreover, all the earth came to Egypt to Joseph to buy grain, because the famine was severe over all the earth. (Genesis 41:57 ESV)
Enough
It is fine and good for us to know and expect that Jesus provides enough. But how does He do it?
He certainly could magically make enough food appear in our freezers and pantries.
He certainly could mysteriously provide gifts through unexpected visitors, forgotten resources, or coincidental timings.
But I have found that usually, the Lord uses regular means to accomplish His amazing acts.
The Lord provided for the needs of Egypt, and particularly for Joseph’s hungry family in Canaan through the regular, simple, logical means of Joseph’s foresight and planning.
And the Lord often provides for us in the same way. We eat via paychecks, investments, foresight, and planning.
Notice that Joseph’s foresight was the result of the Lord’s revelation to Joseph in dreams. But Joseph spoke, acted, and was successful in bringing the Lord’s Word into physical reality.
He does this for us, too.
He gives us enough, often using our abilities, gifts, and spreadsheets.
We can not have enough on our own, but with Jesus we can.
