“Abraham answered, “God himself will provide the lamb for the burnt offering, my son.” - Genesis 22:8 NIV
How many times do we say God has laid it in my heart but fail to act on it. God cannot ask you to do something without provisioning for it. If He says go speak the word, He will tell you what to say through His Spirit. If He asks you for your time, He is the one who gave you the life and the time on earth. The issue we have is we claim we trust the Father but fail to obey when it affects our discipline or when we have to move from our comfort zone. Most blessings are hidden from us because of our lack of obedience. I have never heard someone say God asked me to give and I had to go borrow, He asks for what He has already provided you with. It doesn’t have to make sense, don’t be fixated on the details or what you are seeing in your reality, focus your eyes on the One who has made the promise.
*Let’s pray:*
Father, thank You for Your provision in Your children’s lives. As they take the step to live in obedience and in full surrender unto what you have placed before them, give them the strength to hold on even when circumstances are not favourable. May their obedience unlock the blessings even for generations to come. Lord, may their testimony from this moment be “He is the Lord who provide” for the glory of Your Name. In Jesus Name, Amen.
