| He Still Sees: Psalm 37:25 |
📖 Scripture:
"I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread." — Psalm 37:25 (KJV)
Devotional:
There are seasons when faithfulness feels invisible—when doing the right thing still leads to empty cupboards, overdue notices, and quiet tears behind closed doors. Yet Psalm 37:25 offers an enduring truth: The righteous are not forsaken.
Provision may not always come the way we imagined, but God’s care is never absent. In the Echoes of Faith short story Not Without, a woman struggles silently through lack—unseen by many, but not by God. Her miracle arrived right on time, even though she had stopped looking for one.
God still moves like that.
Reflection:
- Are you trusting God even when it looks like He’s not answering?
- What does His faithfulness look like in your current season?
Daily Wisdom Insight:
When the prophet Elijah arrived at Zarephath, the widow who met him was down to her last handful of flour and oil. She expected her next meal to be her last. But her obedience to God’s word—feeding the prophet first—opened the door to miraculous provision. The jar didn’t overflow, but it never ran empty.
Sometimes, God doesn’t remove the need. He sustains you inside it.
You may not see abundance, but you will see enough.
You may not understand the timing, but you can trust the Source.
Faith isn’t proven in plenty—it’s refined in lack.
Application:
Reread 1 Kings 17:7–16 and reflect on how God provided for the widow each day—not all at once, but just enough.
Then ask yourself: Where has God given me “just enough” in this season? Who around me might need to be reminded of that kind of sustaining grace?
Prayer:
Lord,
Help me see Your hand in the small things.
Teach me to trust You for today’s portion without demanding tomorrow’s abundance.
Whether You send provision through a friend, a stranger, or something unexpected—open my heart to receive it without pride and to give without hesitation.
You are faithful, even when my faith is stretched.
Amen.
