The Big Idea: 

I’m sure there is some area of your life in which you need God’s provision. Whether it be the provision of finances, strength, peace, encouragement, direction, or even hope. Let’s choose to believe that God will never fail.


Main Points:

1. I am struck by the sheer, raw faith of Abraham. At this time, Abraham didn’t know how God would provide. He didn’t know what would happen, but he did know that God had made him a promise concerning his son. God would not fail him. 
2. Abraham was being tested by God. He was being asked to give up the thing that was most precious to him in this world. Would his faith in God be more important than anything else?
3. Faith in God’s provision is a choice. As I face my current situation not knowing what God will do or how he will do it, I will be like Abraham. I will lift my voice and say with confidence, “God himself will provide.”


Today’s Scripture Verse:

Philippians 4:13 -  “And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.” 

Genesis 22:2 - “Take your son, your only son, whom you love—Isaac—and go to the region of Moriah. Sacrifice him there as a burnt offering on a mountain I will show you.”

Genesis 22:7-8 - “ Isaac spoke up and said to his father Abraham, “Father?”  “Yes, my son?” Abraham replied. “The fire and wood are here,” Isaac said, “but where is the lamb for the burnt offering Abraham answered, “God himself will provide the lamb for the burnt offering, my son.” And the two of them went on together.”
