God Provides: "Mine or His"- Abraham and Isaac Sample

After stopping Abraham from sacrificing Isaac, God miraculously provided a ram to substitute in Isaac’s place. This substitution points to the most amazing gift God could have given us. As recorded in the New Testament, Jesus Christ—God’s only beloved Son, who was sinless— offered Himself in our place to provide for our deepest need—forgiveness of our sin. Because of Jesus’ sacrifice for all humankind, any person who confesses his/her sin and believes in faith that Jesus died for his/her sin will receive forgiveness and eternal life!

God truly is Jehovah Jireh—the God who provides.

REFLECT: Do you really believe that God will provide for your needs as He promises? How is this belief affecting the way you live? The lives of other people around you?

PRAY: Lord, sometimes I feel truly tested and challenged by You. Help me to have the heart of Abraham and follow Your will, even when the outcome seems uncertain. When my faith is failing and I’m doubting Your goodness, help me to trust you as Jevovah Jireh, the God who provides.
