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.
