Bible reading: Genesis 22: 2-13 (NIV)
Focus verse: Genesis 22: 7-8 – Isaac spoke up and said to his father Abraham, “Father?” “Yes, my son?” Abraham replied. “The fire and wood are here,” Isaac said, “but where is the lamb for the burnt offering?” Abraham answered, “God himself will provide the lamb for the burnt offering, my son.” And the two of them went on together.
Limitations are part of our daily encounters with a degree ranging from one person to another, or a family to the other or a nation to the other. Though some people may say that they have excess for their needs, but none is perfect without a limitation – we are all lacking in something whether physical, physiological or emotional. Isaac as a young boy understood that something was missing; they did not have a lamb for sacrifice. He could count what they have but that is not all they needed, something was still missing. He turns to his father and shares his worries and concerns, and the father lovingly responds that God will provide. Isaac did not stop on the way nor did he complain to the father but believed the words of his father and kept moving even to the sacrifice alter.
Many people have doubted God’s help when over carried with limitations. Some have stopped from trusting and as a result have left the faith. God understands that we do not have it all but still wants us to trust and walk with Him. He already has solutions to all that troubles us but wants us to trust Him more daily as we abide in him no matter what. Apostle Paul states, Philippians 4:19 “And my God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus.” Don’t sit back or forsake walking in truth of the light of God because you do not have it all. Keep going, God has it all for you.
