He Will Provide

Bible in a Year: Genesis 18-19 Β Matthew 6:1-18

And AαΈ‡raham said, β€œMy son, Elohim provides for Himself the lamb for a burnt offering.” — 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 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄 (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 β€œGranny” 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 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄 (God). Abraham faced an even more serious test of faith. 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄 (God) had told him he would become the father of a great nation, but then 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄 (God) asked him to sacrifice his promised son Isaac on the altar. How could Abraham do such a thing? Many years of trusting 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄 (God) for his long-awaited son had taught him that his confidence in 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄 (God) would be fully rewarded. β€œElohim will provide for Himself the lamb,” he told Isaac. Faith like that is not born in a day. It’s the result of years of seeing 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄;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 Abraham’s example and believe You will provide exactly what we need.

Man’s poverty is never a strain on 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄's (God) provision.
