How do we know that God's provision is sufficient?

God's provision is demonstrated through His care for Elijah, providing food and strength for his journey.
The account of Elijah in 1 Kings 19 reveals how God provides for His servants even in their moments of despair. When Elijah fled from Jezebel, overwhelmed and despondent, God did not abandon him. Instead, He sent an angel to provide Elijah with food and water, enabling him to journey to Mount Horeb in strength. This illustrates a fundamental truth: God cares for us, body and soul, regardless of our circumstances or emotional states.
Elijah's experience reminds believers that in times of need—whether physical, emotional, or spiritual—God is our sustainer. Just as He fed Elijah for forty days and nights, the Lord sustains us through His Word and through Christ, who declared, 'I am the bread of life' (John 6:35). Understanding God's provision in our lives reassures us that we can rely on Him, even amidst trials.
