Vashawn Mitchell - Provider Lyrics
Lyrics
God is a provider
He keeps providing for me
Whatever I need, He is there
Always taking good care
He's a provider
He provides for me
When I'm in need He provides for me
Provider...
All that I need, provider...
Takes care of me, provider...
He's a provider
He provides for me

VaShawn Mitchell - Turning Around For Me (Live)
Meaning & Inspiration
VaShawn Mitchell's "Provider," released as part of his 2012 live album "Turning Around For Me," stands as a powerful declaration of unwavering faith in God's consistent provision. More than just a song, it’s a vibrant testament to the truth that God is the ultimate source of all good things, a faithful provider even in the face of adversity. The driving message of "Provider" is rooted in the profound understanding that our earthly circumstances, whether times of plenty or scarcity, do not dictate God’s boundless ability to supply our needs. This resonates deeply with the biblical narrative, particularly with passages like Philippians 4:19, which assures us, "And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus." The song reminds us that God’s provision is not contingent on our merit or current standing, but rather on His inherent nature and His covenant promises. This echoes the sentiment found in Psalm 23, where David confidently declares, "The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want," knowing that His guidance and care would ensure he lacked nothing essential. "Provider" encourages a shift in perspective, urging listeners to look beyond immediate challenges and trust in the unseen hand of a God who orchestrates all things for our good. It's a powerful anthem for anyone who has experienced God's miraculous provision, reinforcing the belief that He remains our constant source of strength, protection, and sustenance, just as He promised in Deuteronomy 8:18, "You shall remember the Lord your God, for it is he who gives you power to get wealth, that he may confirm his covenant that he swore to your fathers, as it is this day." The song’s unwavering conviction serves as a spiritual anchor, drawing listeners to a deeper appreciation of God's faithfulness and His unending capacity to meet us right where we are, fulfilling His promises through every season of life.
