Happy Sunday Friends, welcome back from holidays of our neighbours religion, especially from my homeland. "GOD WILL PROVIDE"( Genesis 22:8) During this festival,I was pondering on whether we truly understand the depth of this short break as everyone is on festive mood.
Beloved,this sentence reassured us that in times of lack, uncertainty, or testing, Almighty God, does not just leave us to fend for ourselves; He acts as our provider, often at the exact moment of our great need.
Let us quickly take ourselves to what we view as story in the Holy books, but I will concern myself with the one in the Bible, the story of Abraham and Issac ( Gen.22) God asked Abraham to sacrifice his son, Issac - the very miracle child he had waited decades for.As they walked up Mount Moriah, Issac noticed they had the wood and the fire,but no lamb!
Abraham did assured him with a statement of profound faith "God will provide for Himself the lamb for a burnt offering,my son!"Abraham, didn't know how God was going to resolve the situation,but he knew the character of God!.
Brethren, when Abraham demonstrated his obedience,God provided a ram in the thicket. Abraham named the place "JEHOVAH JIREH" Which translates to " The Lord will Provide". Friends, note the three (3) Pillars of God's provision...
(1)He Knows what You need before You ask (2) Provision is often wrapped in human hands.(3) He provides what you need,not always what you want.Friends, when you find yourself in a season where your " Green Pastures" feel dry and you cannot see a way forward, remember the lesson of the shepherd,your role is not to panic,but to trust...(A) Let go of Control (B) Trust the Timing (C) Look For the Ram...... SHALOM!!!
