God Will Provide

    That was my subject on television today, and the message was such a blessing to me as I prepared it and preached it! Oh, that our Lord would increase our faith and enable us to face each day, each trial, and each doubt with the confidence of Abraham, “My son, God will provide.” I know that the chief reference here is to the lamb, our sin-offering; God will provide the Lamb, Christ Jesus; God will provide himself, the Lamb; for Christ Jesus is God. God will provide the Lamb for himself, to satisfy his own justice and honor his own law. But this statement is the watchword of every believer for every occasion! “God will provide.” May our Lord give us such confidence and comfort in his constant mercy and grace that we can meet every need with this immediate response, “My son, God will provide.” Too often we get around to this position rather late, don't we? The real peace and rest is in being confident that our Lord will provide before he actually does, just as Abraham was.
