Have you ever worried about having enough? In our exploration of Psalm 145:15-16, we discover the profound truth that God knows exactly what we need and precisely when we need it. Not a moment too soon, not a second too late—divine provision operates on perfect timing.

Today's meditation invites us into a radical shift in perspective. While we often focus on what we want and when we want it, there's something deeply comforting about surrendering to the reality that God gives from a place of fullness, not scarcity. "When you open your hand, you satisfy the hunger and thirst of every living thing." These words aren't just poetic—they're a promise that spans across creation.

What makes this wisdom particularly challenging is the distinction between needs and wants. God's definition of what we truly need might look different from our wishlist. Yet even in this tension, there's satisfaction to be found. Rather than panicking when resources seem scarce or when prayers appear unanswered, we're encouraged to lean into trust. The same Provider who sustains the sparrows and adorns the lilies is intimately aware of what your soul lacks today. You don't have to figure everything out. Sometimes the most powerful spiritual practice is simply looking to Him with expectant hope, trusting His open hand.

Ready to experience more spiritual refreshment? Join us again tomorrow for another daily dose of wisdom. If you've found today's message meaningful, consider becoming a community member and supporting this ministry. Remember, in a world of uncertainty, one truth remains constant—divine provision never runs out.

00:00:02.564 --> 00:00:07.394
Welcome to Wisdom for the Day, your daily source for spiritual refreshment and guidance.

00:00:07.394 --> 00:00:08.762
I'm Rick.

00:00:08.762 --> 00:00:13.653
Join me as I dive into God's Word to find clarity and strength for life's challenges.

00:00:13.653 --> 00:00:19.484
Let me help you embrace each day with faith and wisdom, ready to feel inspired.

00:00:19.484 --> 00:00:21.070
Let's get started.

00:00:21.070 --> 00:00:25.144
Today is day 198.

00:00:25.867 --> 00:00:26.949
He knows what you need.

00:00:26.949 --> 00:00:36.887
From Psalm 145, verses 15 and 16 from the New Living Translation, the eyes of all look to you in hope.

00:00:36.887 --> 00:00:39.612
You give them their food as they need it.

00:00:39.612 --> 00:00:47.323
When you open your hand, you satisfy the hunger and thirst of every living thing.

00:00:47.323 --> 00:00:56.810
There's something deeply comforting about the idea that God knows exactly what we need, when we need it, not too early, not too late, always right on time.

00:00:56.810 --> 00:01:04.186
Psalm 145 reminds us that every living thing depends on him and he never runs out of provision.

00:01:04.186 --> 00:01:10.492
That every living thing depends on him and he never runs out of provision, whether it's food, strength, clarity, peace or something deeper.

00:01:10.492 --> 00:01:21.891
He doesn't give from a place of pressure, he gives from a place of fullness.

00:01:21.912 --> 00:01:30.885
But here's the part that we sometimes forget God's hand opens on his timing and his definition of need might not match our definition of want.

00:01:30.885 --> 00:01:31.887
Still he satisfies.

00:01:31.887 --> 00:01:35.953
He sees your hunger, he knows your dry places.

00:01:35.953 --> 00:01:41.792
He hears the prayers you've whispered in silence and when the time is right, he provides.

00:01:41.792 --> 00:01:47.149
So, instead of panicking when you feel empty, lean into trust.

00:01:47.149 --> 00:01:58.542
The same God who feeds the sparrows and clothes the lilies knows exactly what your soul is lacking today and he is more than able to meet you there.

00:01:58.542 --> 00:02:05.191
You don't have to figure it all out, you just have to look to him and trust his open hand.

00:02:05.191 --> 00:02:07.174
Pray with me.

00:02:07.174 --> 00:02:15.131
Father God, I look to you today, not just for what I want, but for what I truly need.

00:02:15.131 --> 00:02:19.811
I trust your timing is perfect and your provision is enough.

00:02:19.811 --> 00:02:29.337
Open your hand, lord, and satisfy the empty places in me with your goodness in Jesus, precious name, amen.

00:02:29.337 --> 00:02:36.605
Well, that's all for today, but I'll be back tomorrow with more of God's word.
