Bible in a Year: Genesis 18-19 Β Matthew 6:1-18
And AαΈraham said, βMy son, Elohim provides for Himself the lamb for a burnt offering.βΒ β
Genesis 22:8
Today's Scripture:
Genesis 22:1-14
A member of an assembly, Roy S. Nicholson told of a time when he had no money to buy food. Determined to trust π€π€π€
π€ (God) for his needs and not tell anyone, he and his wife presented their case to the LORD in prayer.
The next morning he set the table for breakfast, confident that the LORD would provide something to eat. Just then a boy from their assembly came to the house with a sack of flour and some milk. Tears welled up in the man's eyes. No sooner had he left than βGrannyβ Turner appeared at the door carrying a large serving tray loaded with beef, eggs, grits and gravy, hot biscuits, butter, jelly, and orange juice. Nicholson was filled with praise to π€π€π€
π€ (God).
Abraham faced an even more serious test of faith. π€π€π€
π€ (God) had told him he would become the father of a great nation, but then π€π€π€
π€ (God) asked him to sacrifice his promised son Isaac on the altar. How could Abraham do such a thing? Many years of trusting π€π€π€
π€ (God) for his long-awaited son had taught him that his confidence in π€π€π€
π€ (God) would be fully rewarded. βElohim will provide for Himself the lamb,β he told Isaac.
Faith like that is not born in a day. Itβs the result of years of seeing π€π€π€
π€;s (God) faithfulness to His promises, and it grows as we daily choose to believe what He says and follow in His Torah.
Reflect & Pray
Prayer LORD, forgive us for not trusting You more. When we face times of testing, may we follow Abrahamβs example and believe You will provide exactly what we need.
Manβs poverty is never a strain on π€π€π€ π€'s (God) provision.
