God is our Provider
Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment. 1Timothy 6:19

God wants us to trust Him. He does provide for those who put their trust in Him. When He wanted to provide for Abraham, he tested his faith by asking him to sacrifice his only son (we know that God did not spare his own son for our salvation). Faith is not believing in Him in spite of evidence but it is obeying in spite of consequences. Christians still count on their own ability. When in trouble, they get discourage if don’t see a way out. God will really provide for those who trust in and understand that he really indeed Jehovah Jireh. God is the Almighty he can do all things. “For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: And he is before all things, and by him all things consist”. Colossians 1:16-17
He created everything for our enjoyment. He wants us to have it all. Obedience is the requirement, but you can’t obey without faith. “without faith it is not possible to be well-pleasing to him, for it is necessary for anyone who comes to God to have the belief that God is, and that he is a rewarder of all those who make a serious search for him”. Hebrews 11:6. Searching for God is indeed the door that opens the blessings/victories of our lives, and His provision depends on your obedience.
Abraham was willing to sacrifice His son and an entire nation still enjoying the blessing. What is it that God has been asking you to give up for Him? Is it your pride? Your job? Is it someone or our lifestyle? I am warning you that you will not experience victory unless you do as He commands. Take a leap of faith by obeying God’s word. Believe that He is your provider. Let go of yourself, turn totally to Him and live a life you never thought possible because God is full of surprises. Just when you think it was all over, He will come up with another way to shower you with His blessings and His ever increasing love.
Praise the Lord!
