Provider

Elder Sean D. Smith

Then Abraham lifted his eyes and looked, and there behind him was a ram caught in a thicket by its horns. So Abraham went and took the ram, and offered it up for a burnt offering instead of his son. And Abraham called the name of the place, The-Lord-Will-Provide; as it is said to this day, “In the Mount of the Lord it shall be provided.” 

 

- Genesis 22:13-14, NKJV

Are you in a place where you believe God provides for your every need? Know that while seasons come and seasons go, the blessings of the Lord are from everlasting to everlasting and the God you serve neither sleeps, nor slumbers - He will not allow your foot to be moved; He who keeps you will not slumber. Behold, He who keeps Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep (Psalms 121:3-4, NKJV). He is ever present and both willing and able to uplift you from wherever “here” is. Understand that it is the Lord Who keeps you, in the midst of a storm or throughout the harvest, His hand will uplift you and sustain you - The Lord is your keeper; the Lord is your shade at your right hand. The sun shall not strike you by day, nor the moon by night. The Lord shall preserve you from all evil; He shall preserve your soul. The Lord shall preserve your going out and your coming in from this time forth, and even forevermore (Psalms 121:5-8, NKJV). The Lord is your provider and you do well to remember that it is He Who establishes and changes accordingly, including the seasons and authorities - “Blessed be the name of God forever and ever, for wisdom and might are His. And He changes the times and the seasons; He removes kings and raises up kings; He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to those who have understanding. He reveals deep and secret things; He knows what is in the darkness, and light dwells with Him (Daniel 2:20-22, NKJV). So when all seems lost, who and what are you looking to in this season for provision? If the answer is anything other than the Lord, then perhaps you need to look again for only He can provide an “on time” ram for a “right now” situation.

BE BLESSED!
