Romans 8:31, 32
What shall we then say to these things? If GOD be for us, who can be against us? He that spared not his own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?
THE LORD PROVIDES ALL THINGS FOR THOSE WHO TRUST HIM.
ALL THINGS MEANS ALL THINGS, what do we not understand about the word "all"? Are we afraid to say that word and mean it? Do we trust the LORD to provide "all things" necessary for life and living well?
Ponder this question: "Who is more trustworthy than GOD?" If that seems like a stupid question, then why don't we live like we mean it? The truth is that there is no one who is more trustworthy than GOD. He will never leave us or forsake us; He will not fail; all His promises are yes and amen to those who trust Him. His love for us is so great that He sent His Son to make the atonement for us, through His Blood, that we might have access to GOD through JESUS. He has done everything to make our life right with Him, we have only to live for Him.
ALL things also means that GOD will provide for us in the physical realm, mental/emotional realm and the spiritual realm. Most of us stop short after the physical, because that is the closest at hand, but GOD is deeply interested in our wholeness, therefore, He wants to supply all our needs in the total person; body, mind/emotions, and spirit.
The Apostle Paul said, that the LORD does not give a spirit of fear, but love, power and a sound mind. GOD is the GOD of "all things" and He provides all things for our good. The King, the LORD GOD, is obligated to provide for His children, because He has given His word. GOD will never go back on His word. He has made a Covenant with us through JESUS Christ and He will never break that Covenant.
I love the word "freely" in this verse. "Freely" means liberally and without cost. We had a debt we could not pay; JESUS paid the debt that He didn't owe. All for His loves sake. It is the Father's great pleasure to give and give and give, freely; all we have to do is receive.
FEAR NOT, LITTLE FLOCK, FOR IT IS YOUR FATHER'S PLEASURE TO GIVE YOU THE KINGDOM.(Luke 12: 32)
