Day 4: He Always Provides the Way
By Keystone Church
Bible Reading
Abraham named the place Yahweh-Yireh (which means “the Lord will provide”). To this day, people still use that name as a proverb: “On the mountain of the Lord it will be provided.”
—(Genesis 22:14)
God’s faithfulness isn’t just about keeping His promises—it’s also about providing for His people. Abraham had waited decades for Isaac, the son through whom God promised to build a great nation. Then God gave the shocking command to sacrifice Isaac. Even though he didn’t understand God’s plan, Abraham trusted in God’s provision and moved forward in obedience. And at the exact right moment, the Lord provided a ram to take Isaac’s place. For whatever God is calling you to do in obedience, He will provide the way. You don’t have to see the provision ahead of time; you just have to trust the Provider and obey.
Focus: If God calls you to obey, He will always provide the way, even if it’s different than you expected.
Act: Ask the Lord to reveal if there are any areas in which you struggle to trust His faithfulness. Pray for the courage to obey Him fully, believing that He will provide exactly what you need.
Pray: God, thank you for the many ways You have already provided for me. I surrender any doubt and fear, and I choose to trust that You will be faithful to provide wherever You lead me. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Confession
Listen to the song Jireh by Elevation Worship and celebrate God’s provision.
