God will provide
Because He presides
He will supply
And will not deny.
The Shepherd will guide
In the Ocean wide
To my green pasture
His leading is sure.
Amidst the famine
I will keep farming
Continue my sowing
Without borrowing.
He owns the earth
In all its fullness
He’ll avert the dearth
In His faithfulness.
Genesis 26: Isaac and Abimelech
1 There was a famine in the land, besides the first famine that was in the days of Abraham. And Isaac went to Abimelech king of the Philistines, in Gerar. 2 Then the LORD appeared to him and said: “Do not go down to Egypt; live in the land of which I shall tell you. 3 Dwell in this land, and I will be with you and bless you; for to you and your descendants I give all these lands, and I will perform the oath which I swore to Abraham your father. 6 So Isaac dwelt in Gerar 12 Then Isaac sowed in that land, and reaped in the same year a hundredfold; and the LORD blessed him. Gen26:1-3,6,12
