Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Nobody does it like your early morning praise party. I
- 0:03Speaker 1: am Sherry Mackie. It it's time right now for today's word.
- 0:09Speaker 1: Provision on the Mountain. Provision on the Mountain Genesis twenty
- 0:16Speaker 1: two to fourteen says so Abraham called the place the
- 0:20Speaker 1: Lord will provide Jehovah Jirah. And to this day it
- 0:26Speaker 1: is said, on the mountain of the Lord, it will
- 0:30Speaker 1: be provided. You know, one of the most powerful revelations
- 0:34Speaker 1: that we can have about gods found in his name
- 0:37Speaker 1: or in this name, Jehovah Jirah, the Lord who provides.
- 0:41Speaker 1: See Abraham discovered this truth not in a season of comfort,
- 0:45Speaker 1: but on the mountain of obedience, surrender, and trust. God
- 0:50Speaker 1: had asked Abraham to do something that made no sense
- 0:54Speaker 1: and touch the deepest place of his heart, to offer
- 0:57Speaker 1: his promised son. He had been praying about son, Believing
- 1:01Speaker 1: God for a son he gets to something, God says,
- 1:03Speaker 1: sacrifice them, y'all. Abraham didn't have all the answers. He
- 1:08Speaker 1: didn't know how God would resolve it, but he knew
- 1:12Speaker 1: who God was. Step by step he climbed Mount Mariah,
- 1:17Speaker 1: trusting that somehow provision would meet him there, y'all. At
- 1:21Speaker 1: the exact moment Abraham needed it most, God intervene. God
- 1:27Speaker 1: provided aram in a bush.
- 1:30Speaker 2: Come on, Jesus.
- 1:31Speaker 1: The Angel stopped Abraham, and Abraham looked up to see
- 1:35Speaker 1: the ram caught over there in that thicket. The ram
- 1:38Speaker 1: became the sacrifice. See what's remarkable is this. Rams don't
- 1:42Speaker 1: normally roam that high on the mountain. That means God
- 1:46Speaker 1: had already arranged the provision ahead of time. See, while
- 1:52Speaker 1: Abraham was walking in obedience, God was positioning the answer
- 1:55Speaker 1: he needed.
- 1:57Speaker 2: Here's the encouragement for you today.
- 2:00Speaker 1: Already has provision and motion for your life. Before the
- 2:03Speaker 1: setback showed up, before the diagnosis, before the unexpected expense,
- 2:08Speaker 1: before the door closed, God had already prepared a ram.
- 2:12Speaker 1: You may not see it yet, but it's on the
- 2:15Speaker 1: way up the mountain. Maybe you're worried about finances, you're
- 2:19Speaker 1: worried about a child or relationship, or a dream that
- 2:22Speaker 1: seems delayed. You might feel like you're standing in a
- 2:26Speaker 1: place of sacrifice, uncertainty, or testing. I want you to
- 2:31Speaker 1: remember this, Jehovah. Jirah doesn't just provide eventually.
- 2:39Speaker 2: He provides right on time.
- 2:41Speaker 1: The provision may not look the way you expect, but
- 2:45Speaker 1: it will be exactly what you need. Abraham named that
- 2:48Speaker 1: place the Lord will provide because he wanted future generations
- 2:52Speaker 1: to remember.
- 2:53Speaker 2: That God can be trusted.
- 2:55Speaker 1: Let me say that God can be trusted, whether it's
- 2:59Speaker 1: in the mountain on the valley, God can be trusted.
- 3:03Speaker 1: What looks like a test is often the setup for
- 3:06Speaker 1: a testimony. What feels like lost may be the doorway
- 3:10Speaker 1: to greater faith. Stay obedience, keep trusting, keep being encouraged.
- 3:16Speaker 2: Your ram is already on the way.
- 3:19Speaker 1: M Father God, thank you, Thank you that you are
- 3:24Speaker 1: Jehovah Jirah, our provider. Thank you that even when we
- 3:29Speaker 1: don't see how things are gonna work out, you already
- 3:32Speaker 1: have provision prepared for us.
- 3:34Speaker 2: So help us to trust you fully.
- 3:36Speaker 1: Especially are the mountain seasons of life.
- 3:39Speaker 2: God, we believe that.
- 3:40Speaker 1: You're meeting our needs and surprising us with your goodness.
- 3:44Speaker 1: In Jesus' name, that's your word for today, taken apply
- 3:48Speaker 1: to your everyday life, and you continue to trust God
- 3:52Speaker 1: with me, Your girl, Sherry Mackie on your early morning
