How to Locate God's Provision for You...

So Abraham called the name of that place The Lord Will Provide. And it is said to this day, On the mount of the Lord it will be provided.
Provision is key to achieving your goals. If you are to achieve the things you dream to achieve you need to find provision of the resources required to do it. 
     In considering this thought line I recall my teenage year’s addiction to the computer game, Super Mario. Three things will ensure you succeed in taking Super Mario to the end of each stage; the amount of life he has left, his degree of invisibility, and the weapons he has at his disposal. Mario does not have these things all through his adventure and you will have to get to certain stages of each level to get the provision of more life, invisibility, or better weapons. Whenever you have the three combined you feel super indeed until the time it wears out.
     As it is with Super Mario so it is with your success journey. If you would receive God’s provision you must be at the right place. This is important. If Mario does not arrive at the stage in the game level where he can get more life or weapons, he will receive no provision, irrespective of how much dire need he is in.
     On God’s instruction, Abraham set out on a strange journey that would redefine his entire life and that of the nation that would come after him. He followed instructions to a specific mountain of which he was told to make a big sacrifice. At the very moment that he was to strike his son, he heard a call that showed him the real sacrifice. Don’t you wonder what would have happened if he had gone to the wrong mountain?
      A similar thing happened to Elijah. In the heat of a famine he received this instruction: “Get out of here fast. Head east and hide out at the Kerith Ravine on the other side of the Jordan River. You can drink fresh water from the brook; I’ve ordered the ravens to feed you there.” It was important he followed all these instructions on location because there and there alone is the provision. 
      If you would receive provision you must be at the right place.
