God is in Your Future

Look up, Abraham.

“And Abraham lifted up his eyes
And looked, and behold,
Behind him was a ram,
Caught in a thicket by his horns” (Genesis 22:13)

God had been to Mt. Moriah
Long before He sent Abraham
Up the hill with his beloved Isaac.

There never was going to be a
Knife on Isaac’s neck;
Child sacrifice is an unthinkable abomination
To God.

God proved that He is Jireh,
The Lord who “provides”—
The One who “sees before”
And goes before
To make a provision ahead of time.

God is in your future,
Child of God.
I bless you today to rest
In the assurance—
He already is there,
In your future moment of need,
Placing a ram in the thicket for you.
