What is God like? How does who he is impact what we do with our lives? In "Now Showing," we walk through some of the attritbutes of God and why they matter for our daily living. In Part 3, Pastor Zac teaches about the God who provides.

God’s tests prove and purify your faith, preparing you for His provision.

This truth is hard to believe until you experience it. The tests and trials we face are never enjoyable in the moment, but later we can appreciate the lessons learned. When God sends us a test, he always has reason for it. One of those reasons is the same for every trial: to purify our faith and draw us closer to God.

Faith moves toward God’s provision.

When we have faith it causes us to move to places where we receive God's provision. Choosing to put your faith in God does not mean sitting on your hands and letting God handle everything. Putting your faith in God means doing what God wants us to do and leaving the results up to God. Faith in God allows us to make decisions with confidence that God will provide help when we need it.

God’s provision is found in the person we worship.

The most crucial provision for the Christian is the provision of Jesus Christ as our savior. God provided his son for us as a sacrifice in order to save us. Without this, we would be lost forever. Even if God did nothing else for us, this would be enough to make him a good God worthy of our praise. Yet God does so much more for us every day through Jesus Christ.

God’s provision may come at the last moment, but it’s never late.

Sometimes it is difficult for us to trust God's timing. In our minds it always better to receive God's provision when we think we need it. However, God sees every variable and every detail. God knows when the best time to intervene is, and he will not intervene sooner. We must remind ourselves of this and learn to wait on the Lord.
