Genesis 22:14 - And Abraham called the name of the place, The-Lord-Will-Provide; as it is said to this day, “In the Mount of the Lord it shall be provided.”

PRINCIPLES OF PROVISION

1. God Will Provide: When We Are Available

Genesis 22:1 – Now it came to pass after these things that God tested Abraham, and said to him, “Abraham!” And he said, “Here I am.”

2. God Will Provide: When We Are Willing To Let Go

Genesis 22:2 – Then He said, “Take now your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you.”

3. God Will Provide: When We Walk By Faith

Genesis 22:3 – So Abraham rose early in the morning and saddled his donkey … [4] Then on the third day Abraham lifted his eyes and saw the place afar off. [5] And Abraham said to his young men, “Stay here with the donkey; the lad and I will go yonder and worship, and we will come back to you.”

Hebrews 11:19 - Abraham believed that God could bring Isaac back from the dead. Abraham did receive Isaac back from the dead in a figurative sense. (GW)

2 Corinthians 5:7 – For we walk by faith, not by sight.

4. God Will Provide: When We Look To Jesus

Genesis 22:8 – And Abraham said, “My son, God will provide for Himself the lamb for a burnt offering.” So the two of them went together.

John 1:29 - The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, “Behold! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!”

John 8:56 – [Jesus] Your father Abraham rejoiced as he looked forward to my coming. He saw it and was glad. (NLT)
