Is Jesus really provider? If yes, why, many times, don’t we see His provision? (Part 3).

4 – Where does the Creator supply us?
“in His glory”, that is to say, His face (Exodus 33:18-20). I know that this can sound weird. Nonetheless, read what it is written below:
• Num 6:24-26 -> “The LORD bless you and keep you; the LORD make his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you; the LORD lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace.”.
Our protection is related to the Creator’s face. It is necessary that He lift up His countenance on us and glare it. In addition to this, read the following verse:
• 2Co 3:18 -> “And all of us, with unveiled faces, reflecting like bright mirrors the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same likeness, from one degree of radiant holiness to another, even as derived from the Lord the Spirit.”.
We need to reflect Jesus’ glory so that we and people around us can contemplate His glory and be transformed (similar to what took place with Moses):
• Exo 34:29,30 -> “When Moses came down from Mount Sinai, with the two tablets of the testimony in his hand as he came down from the mountain, Moses did not know that the skin of his face shone because he had been talking with God. Aaron and all the people of Israel saw Moses, and behold, the skin of his face shone, and they were afraid to come near him.”.
In other words, it is in the place where Jesus wishes us that people can see His glory, which will transform them and work in them the necessary so that they can make peace with us:
• Pro 16:7 -> “When a man's ways please the LORD, he makes even his enemies to be at peace with him.”.
5 – What do the Creator supply us for?
“For Christ Jesus”. To glory of everything that He is. That is to say, the Creator supplies us so that we can manifest what Jesus was while He was in this world. We need to follow His steps (1Pe 2:21), to live His lifestyle, to live for Him (1John 2:6; 4:9). The idea is that everyone can have, through us, the same certain that the Sanhedrim had about Jesus in virtue of what they saw in Peter and John (Act 4:13): that Jesus is real and alive (see 1Cor 14:24,25).
So, have a good day filling your innermost being of alacrity of receiving His boons, not to spend in your selfish projects, but so that, through them, you can find more and more opportunities in abounding in His good works:
• 2Co 9:6-8 -> “The point is this: whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that having all sufficiency in all things at all times, you may abound in every good work.”.
