The Lord Will Provide

 Scripture:

“So Abraham called that place The Lord Will Provide. And to this day it is said, “On the mountain of the Lord it will be provided.”” ‭‭Genesis‬ ‭22‬:‭14‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Observation:

Abraham had taken his son Isaac, his promised child, to sacrifice him in obedience to the Lord. When God saw Abraham’s obedience and being willing to sacrifice his own son to the Lord, God provided another way. A ram was caught in the thicket just at the right time and the Lord provided a sacrifice. After that, Abraham called that place, “The Lord will provide.” (Jehovah Jireh)

Application:

God provides for what He orders. When He calls us to do something, He will provide the means necessary for our obedience. Many times in life we feel the Lord tell us to do something that looks insurmountable. In those moments, we must remember one of the names of God is “The Lord will Provide.” Where God guides, He provides. Where God leads, He feeds. Our job is to be aligned with Him and surrendered to His will, then we must trust that He will provide what is necessary.

Prayer:

Lord God Almighty, You are my provider! You are the source of every good thing in my life. You have been so good to me. Help me to live by faith, knowing that You are with me and that You will provide for every need in my life and ministry. Teach me to trust You more and more. Help me to see You as the God who provides. There are some huge provisions necessary in the coming years, help me not to be faint hearted, but to trust You completely.

Yours Forever,

Jeff
