✨ January Theme: Set My Course
🕊️ Welcome Moment
There are seasons when God leads you into places that stretch your faith—places where the next step feels costly, uncertain, or beyond your strength. In those moments, you may wonder how the provision will come or whether you’ll have what you need.
Genesis 22:14 whispers a truth that anchors the soul:
God provides exactly what is needed, exactly when it is needed.
Today, let your heart rest in the assurance that the God who leads you is the God who sustains you.
📖 Scripture Immersion
Genesis 22:14
“So Abraham called that place The Lord Will Provide. And to this day it is said, ‘On the mountain of the Lord it will be provided.’”
Read it slowly, imagining the weight of relief and awe in Abraham’s voice.
🌄 Snapshot
Picture Abraham climbing the mountain with Isaac. Each step is heavy, not because of the physical climb, but because of the emotional weight. He doesn’t know how God will provide—only that God will.
At the top, when the moment feels most impossible, God reveals a ram caught in the thicket. Provision was already waiting—Abraham just couldn’t see it from the bottom of the mountain.
He names the place The Lord Will Provide, not because he understood the plan, but because he experienced God’s faithfulness in the very place of surrender.
This is the heart of Genesis 22:14:
God’s provision often meets you on the mountain, not before the climb.
🔍 Deep Dive
“Abraham called that place The Lord Will Provide…”
Provision becomes personal when you walk through a moment where only God can come through. Abraham’s declaration is born from lived experience.
“…On the mountain of the Lord it will be provided.”
Mountains represent testing, stretching, and surrender. Yet they are also the places where God reveals His faithfulness most clearly.
Provision is not random—it is relational.
God provides because He is present.
He provides because He is faithful.
He provides because He is leading you.
As you Set Your Course this January, remember:
You may not see the ram yet, but God has already placed it in the thicket.
