A Days Devotion- God takes care of his children.

We see many times in the Bible where people of bible times traveled; at times willingly and at other times as captives. Sometimes by the hand of God and sometimes necessary according to their lifestyle and rank in life. Sometimes they were obedient to God and went where He led them and sometimes they grumbled and whined and complained the whole way. But, God never left them.

With the Israelites;He fed them manna and quail. Their clothes and shoes never wore out as they wandered the wilderness for 40 years .  With Jonah;  He sent him to preach in Nineveh, but Jonah only grumbled and complained and refused to go. God punished him but, He never left him. With David all the years that he was on the run God clothed and fed him and protected him. As he became King though David was wrong in a lot of his actions and at times sinful, though God punished him He never left him. Abraham and Sarah and Isaac and Rebecca  though as they traveled they lied about their wives being their sisters  God never left them , he stayed by them and kept them safe and took care of all their needs.Elijah went where the Lord sent him and did what the Lord told him and he was blessed, and God always saw that his needs were provided for and that he was kept safe.

Then we look to the New Testament times. where we find many of the same manner such as: the disciples or the Apostle Paul or many others through out the bible that were children of God. whether they grumbled or complained, were rebellious or sinful (yes they were disciplined) but God never left them  and always took care of their needs.

Through all of this we see that as God's children though we can expect correction and discipline when we need it, we can always expect  God to take care of us and protect us through out our lives. He promises that as much as he values the sparrows of the air, he values us even more and with a greater love. If he sees to all their needs why wouldn't He care for all  the needs of his children? Luke 12:4-7. And this same God who takes care of me will supply all your needs from his glorious riches, which have been given to us in Christ Jesus. Philippians4: 19

In closing; as children of God, no matter where we go, no matter what the circumstances are, if we put our faith in God He will always be there to guide us and take care of us.
