Before coming to India, I felt as if I heard God telling me this would be a month of growth and surrender. Can’t lie, I was SO excited!
BUT since I’ve arrived here, I had felt so much uneasiness as if this month was going to be hard (not sure in what ways but something in my spirit get off, unlike the other months). So I pressed into the lord a couple morning ago and was really questioning why the heck I was feeling that way, after the lord had already told me.
On Saturday, my team and I were invited to a women’s breakfast at an international church nearby! We show up expecting to just eat some good, spicy breakfast then go back home… Little did we know that they had the whole morning into the afternoon planned out with worship and teachings! And I’ll be first to say that it was INCREDIBLE!
ENGLISH! *insert praise hands*
So one of the ladies was peaking about God’s character and referenced the story when God told Abraham to sacrifice Isaac as a burnt offering, as a test. Abraham loved God so much he what he was told. Isaac realized they didn’t have a ram to sacrifice with them so he asked Abraham where the ram was? Abraham replied with “God will provide it”. Once they got to the top of the mountain, Abraham set up to sacrifice his son and at the LAST MOMENT an angel came and told him to stop. And then proceeded to provide a ram in that moment for them to sacrifice. Wow.
As I was wrestling with the lord just a couple hours before during my Jesus time and frustrated that He wasn’t answering me, He provides me the answer. But not in the way I thought (lol almost never is).
THE THING IS! Abraham was never looking around for the ram, knowing God was going to provide one. He stuck to the words God directly told him to do, to sacrifice Isaac. He never lost sight of what he went to the mountain to do.
So why have my eyes been searching around for the growth I was told was going to happen this month? The lord told me it would happen so I don’t need to go searching for it. I just need to keep my eyes locked on Him and my mission and He will provide. Simply because He is faithful to His promises and He is THE provider.
