The ultimate provider

TODAY'S READING: Genesis 22:1-14
God will sometimes call us to a place that seems improbable. The task He has put before us may seem unrealistic or unattainable. God may even ask you to give up something that you don't think you can give up.
In those situations all God asks for is our faith. Not just a verbal commitment, but action to back it up. A willingness to not just say, "Yes, you are God," but acting on that statement.
Whatever God calls us to do, He will provide. It will not always be the way we expect or hope for, but He will provide.
When He called Moses to lead the Israelites, God provided Aaron.
When He called Israel to defeat Goliath, God provided David.
When He brought forth the Messiah, God provided a young girl named Mary.
And here is the biggest one of all...
When my sins and your sins needed to be forgiven, God provided His Son.
While God stopped Abraham from killing his son, God was willing to sacrifice His own Son for you and me. He provided something that He didn't need to, but wanted to because of His love for us.
The next time you face a challenge in your walk with Jesus, remember that God is the One who provides. He will provide what you need in this life and He has provided the only thing that can take you to heaven in the next life. And that is all I really need.

shine!
