The Lord Will Provide

Genesis 21 continues …

168)  Abimelech told Abraham, “God is with you in everything you do.”

(We can take great comfort in this verse.  God is with us!)

169)  At Beersheba, Abraham called upon the name of the Lord.

170)  Abraham called the Lord “the Eternal God.”  (He will never leave

us.  He will always be around to help us.)

Genesis 22

171)  God tested Abraham.  (He tests our faith in Him.  Do we trust Him?)

172)  God spoke to Abraham.  (He speaks to us as well!  Are you listening?)

173)  God told Abraham to sacrifice his son Isaac as a burnt offering.

(Nothing we own belongs to us.  Everything we own was given to us by God.

We should hold nothing back from Him.)

174)  The angel of the Lord called out to Abraham from heaven (when he

was about to slay his son).  “Do not lay a hand on the boy.  Now I know that

you fear God, because you have not withheld from me your son.”

175)  Abraham saw a ram caught by its horns in a thicket.  He called the

place The Lord Will Provide.  (He sacrificed the ram instead of Isaac.)

(God provides what we need, when  we need it.)
