Provision for the Journey

Feb 8, 2026    Pastor Ron Simmons

This message invites us into a profound truth about the nature of our spiritual journey: sometimes things get harder right before breakthrough arrives. Drawing from Matthew 6:25-33 and the Exodus narrative, we're reminded that our lives are journeys filled with mountaintops and valleys, victories and struggles. The Israelites' experience leaving Egypt provides a powerful parallel to our own walk with God. Just as Pharaoh doubled their workload when Moses announced their freedom, the enemy often intensifies opposition when we're on the verge of breakthrough. This isn't coincidence—it's spiritual warfare designed to make us quit before we reach our promised land. But here's the encouragement: God has already provided everything we need for the journey. He provided healing so there was 'not one feeble among them,' He provided finances through the Egyptians' favor, and He even provided weapons for the battles ahead. The key to accessing these provisions is found in one simple command: seek first the kingdom of God. When we put Him first in our finances, our families, our decisions, and our daily lives, He promises that everything else will align. This isn't passive waiting—it's active faith that works while trusting God to multiply our efforts. Whether we're facing health challenges, financial pressures, or spiritual drought, the provision has already been made available. We simply need to tap into it through worship, faith, and obedience.
