Should believers purchase insurance or trust God's provision?

The Bible encourages believers to trust fully in God's sovereign provision (Matthew 6:25-34) while simultaneously commanding prudence, wisdom, and future planning. Purchasing insurance (health, life, home, auto) is not a lack of faith, but a practical act of wise stewardship that mitigates risk and protects assets God has entrusted to us. Insurance aligns with the biblical examples of setting aside resources for uncertain times (Genesis 41:33-36) and fulfills the mandate to care for one's family by guarding against financial catastrophe (1 Timothy 5:8).
