Genesis 22:8 And Abraham said, “My son, God will provide
himself a lamb for a burnt offering;” so they went both of them together.
Are you facing an uncertain situation? Are you in need of
provision and just cannot imagine how this need will be covered? Have you been
obedient? Have you been faithful? First let me assure you that a Lottery Ticket
or Publisher’s Clearing House is not the answer to your need.
This morning, as I pondered an unexpected expense that Steve
and I are
facing, I heard these words spoken to my spirit and declared them aloud to
Steve, “GOD WILL PROVIDE.”
As Born-again Believers, we love to repeat the story of
Abraham, Isaac and their trek up the mountain without a sacrifice. We love the
significance of Abraham’s prophetic uttering to Isaac in Genesis 22. And we
believe that Jesus was the LAMB OF GOD,
the supreme provision for our salvation. If we can believe that God has
provided for our salvation, why do we hesitate to believe that He will provide
for all other needs, no matter how great or small?
Could it be that we do not doubt God and His faithfulness but
knowing all the facts, we doubt our own faithfulness to God? Look at the last
line of Genesis 22:8, “SO THEY WENT BOTH OF THEM TOGETHER.” Abraham
didn’t turn back when faced with a difficult question; he continued on. He
didn’t waver because he didn’t see the provision for his need; he continued on.
Abraham not only had supreme confidence in the faithfulness OF God but he had determined in himself
that he would be faithful TO God.
FAITHFULNESS to
God can begin today with your OBEDIENCE!!!
Whatever you are facing, whatever the need, determine in your heart, “I
WILL BE FAITHFUL TO GOD”…and continue on.
