Will God Provide?
Are you tired of lying awake at night worrying about money?
Do you find yourself constantly stressed about whether you'll have enough to cover your bills, your family's needs, or your future?
If so, you're not alone!
Recent studies show that 73% of Americans report finances as their top stressor, and if you're watching this video, chances are you're part of that statistic. But what if there was a different way to live? What if the God who created the universe actually cares about your financial fears and has promised to take care of you?
In this powerful message, Pastor Ricky Ortiz tackles one of the most challenging aspects of faith: trusting God to provide for our needs when everything in our culture screams that we must be completely self-sufficient. Starting with a raw admission that we all entered this world as helpless babies completely dependent on others, Ricky traces how our society's obsession with independence has created a deep-seated fear that it's completely up to us to provide for ourselves. This fear doesn't just affect our bank accounts – it fundamentally shapes how we view God and whether we truly believe He will take care of His children.
Drawing from Jesus's profound teaching in Matthew 6:19-33, Ricky unpacks three life-changing truths that will revolutionize how you think about God's provision.
Throughout this message, Ricky doesn't minimize the real financial pressures we face. He openly discusses his own concerns about affording his daughter's college education in four years, the impact of inflation and rising costs, and the legitimate challenges of providing for those we love. But he frames these concerns within the larger context of God's character as our Provider – not just a provider among many, but THE Provider who knows our needs before we even ask.
The sermon reaches its emotional peak when Ricky shares about becoming a father and the overwhelming desire and responsibility he feels to provide for his daughter throughout her life. And if an imperfect, broken human father feels this strongly about caring for his child, how much more does our perfect Heavenly Father desire and feel responsible to provide for His children?
This isn't wishful thinking or prosperity gospel theology – it's the heart of the gospel itself!
If you're struggling with financial anxiety, if you're tired of the constant stress about money, or if you're questioning whether God really cares about your practical needs, this message offers hope grounded in biblical truth. Ricky addresses the core lie that many of us believe: that we're ultimately on our own and must figure everything out ourselves. Instead, he points us to the radical truth that God's children don't need to live in constant worry about provision because our Heavenly Father already knows our needs and has committed to meeting them.
This isn't about becoming financially irresponsible or expecting God to make us wealthy. It's about discovering the peace that comes from truly believing that the God who feeds the birds and clothes the flowers has you in His care.
Whether you're facing a specific financial crisis right now, dealing with ongoing money stress, or simply wanting to grow in your trust of God's provision, this message will challenge and encourage you. Ricky's teaching is biblically grounded, practically applicable, and delivered with the heart of someone who genuinely wants to see you experience freedom from financial fear. Watch this message and discover how your Heavenly Father's desire and responsibility to provide for you can transform how you view your needs, your future, and your faith.
