God provides

Good morning beloved
As we grow in intimacy with God, we rest as we come into revelation of God's watchful care over us. My life is a testimony that he "dots every i and crosses every t", he takes care of every detail of our life. Dear friends there is not one area of our life that God will not bless, however we must wait on his timing and relinquish every control - just surrender to doing things his way for it's the best way. God never means for us to have lack in any area of our life and he will certainly cause our cups to overflow and fill our mouths with good things. He commands the blessings on our lives, he certainly does the exceedingly, abundantly above all we can ask or even imagine.
I did research about Psalm 23:1
Let me share the adaptation here
Psalm 23:1 summarizes the message of the whole. Verse 1a declares, “The Lord is my shepherd” and thus acknowledges God as the one who protects and guides. It is important to recognize, however, that “shepherd” connotes more than someone who herds sheep. Shepherd was a royal metaphor in the ancient Near East. Therefore, to call God shepherd is to acknowledge God as one who rules over one’s life, to surrender to the will to God.
After the metaphorical statement, “The Lord is my shepherd,” verse 1b adds the unqualified phrase “I shall not want” which could also be rendered “I have no lack.” The absolute character of this second phrase is striking. It suggests the Lord is all one really needs, that God’s shepherding care provides all that is essential to life
Amen amen
I must tell you though beloved it is in the "doing" of the word that unlocks the blessings.
He will definitely provide, just look at all his names - these names show an aspect of his character for his provision.
Here is a good study on the matter. I will also share the link below
Jesus made 8 ‘I AM’ claims correspoding to the 8 JEHOVAH names. For example: ‘I AM the GOOD SHEPHERD’ = JEHOVAH ROHI. He was saying: ‘I am Jehovah Rohi! All that God promised to give you is fulfilled in Me through the Covenant established in My blood. I am the Lord and the Covenant Names are fulfilled in Me through My Blood. If you believe in Me, I will be that to you.’ He also confirmed each I AM claim with a SIGN. He is all things to us through the Blood of His Covenant. We must know His Name. We receive help from Him through knowing, praising and calling on His Name.
Let us look at each Name in turn, in order to come to know Him and receive His full covenant provision in each area of our lives. He provides (gives) Himself to us:
1. The first Name that was revealed was JEHOVAH-JIREH (‘the Lord is our Provider or Provision’) in Genesis 22 when Abraham offered up His son Isaac. “Abraham called the name of that place JEHOVAH-JIREH (The Lord is our Provider or Provision) as it is said to this day, ‘The MOUNT where the LORD will be SEEN (or ‘the Mount of Manifestation’). As the first name it is foundational to the others. Jehovah Jireh signifies the God of MATERIAL MANIFESTATION, physical Provision! Supremely God was revealing that He will manifest His Son in the flesh to come and be offered up for us on Mount Moriah and on the basis of this every other blessing (name) of God is ours.“God so LOVED the world, that He GAVE His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life” (John 3:16). “He who did not withhold His only Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall he not with (and through) Him also freely GIVE us all things?” (Romans 9:32).
Jesus claimed in John 6: “I AM the Bread of Life” (v32,33,35,41). He would be offered up to God and be broken and multiplied as God’s provision to feed the world.
See also 3John 2, 2Corinthians 8:9,9:8, Philippians 4:19, Matthew 6:33, Psalm23:1.
Amen amen
Lord we thank you for blessing us to the overflow so we can bless many others
Amen
Walk good in Christ
Till we meet again
