Facing the Giant of Moneyনমুনা

The provision of the test 

‘Abraham looked up and...saw a ram.’ Genesis 22:13 NIV 

What’s really great about God is that He always has a plan – always! While Abraham was climbing one side of the mountain, the ram was climbing the other! That’s how it is with God’s provision; you can’t always see it coming and you don’t necessarily understand how He’s going to do it but each step brings you closer to the blessing He’s assigned to you. When you get to where God wants you to be, your answer will be waiting. 

Today, the enemy is like General Custer, he’s taking his last stand! Don’t let him see you sweat! God knows what you’re going through and He’s already prepared an exit strategy! He’s made provision for every struggle, every test and every problem. Just look up and you’ll see it! 

Listen: ‘Abraham looked up and...saw a ram caught by its horns. He...took the ram, and sacrificed it...instead of his son’ (Genesis 22:13 NIV). What’s really interesting here is that rams don’t normally climb that high. However, when God has promised you something, He will break every rule in the book to get it to you. When you obey Him, He promises to ‘open the floodgates of Heaven’ and pour His blessings into your life (Malachi 3:10 NIV). Not only was the ram in the right place at the right time, it was also ‘caught’ there. 

God will hold your provision in place until you arrive. He’ll tie you to a blessing that nobody can take from you, because He’s Jehovah-Jireh, your Provider!

Prayer Point: 

Thank You, Lord, that You are the God who provides – never too early or too late. Help me to trust You that the provision will be there, even if I don’t see it now. Thank You, Lord, that nothing can prevent a blessing You have planned for me. Amen.
