“Then Jesus went from village to village, teaching the people. And he called his twelve disciples together and began sending them out two by two, giving them authority to cast out evil spirits. He told them to take nothing for their journey except a walking stick—no food, no traveler’s bag, no money” (Mark 6:6-8 NLT).
Jesus sent His disciples out two-by-two, empowering them to do the ministry they had seen Him doing. They were not to worry about gathering up provisions for the journey, for their needs would be met by those to whom they ministered.
Those who are called into ministry or to go on a mission trip, often learn the most about God’s faithfulness by the way He supplies their needs for the journey. Those who insist on making their own preparations, often never go, or going, never learn of God’s faithful provision.
This spiritual principle is still in effect. Whom the Lord sends, He supplies. Have you learned this spiritual lesson of faith in God’s provision?
PRAYER: Dear Father, we give thanks that those You send, You supply. We ask forgiveness for those times that we doubt Your provision. Yet, we have never gone hungry or homeless for Your sake. We give thanks for Your many blessings on us. Strengthen us for the journey You have called us to walk. In Jesus’ name, amen.
