Only Trust Bible in a Year: Psalms 103–104 1 Corinthians 2 So was food every day for Elijah and for the woman and her family. 1 Kings 17:15 1 Kings 17:8–16 Three hundred were dressed and seated for breakfast, and a prayer of thanks was offered for the food. But was no food! Situations like this were not unusual for orphanage director and missionary George Mueller (1805–1898. Here was yet another opportunity to see how God would provide.

Not wanting the milk to spoil, he offered Mueller. ’s normal experience bouts of worry, anxiety, and self-pity when we lack resources essential our well-being—food, shelter, health, finances, friendships.

I have seen God miraculous provisions during my life, and three instances came quickly to mind and there are more if I would just take time to recall. He is always faithful. What a mighty God we serve. Be a prism, spreading God's light and love, not a mirror reflecting the world's hatred.
