He Has a Plan

Posted byMadisonPosted inUncategorized

          The Lord has a plan for us. He knows everything we do before we do it. We can put our trust in the Lord and He will take care of us. This morning I read the story below…

Genesis 22- 

1 Some time later God tested Abraham. He said to him, “Abraham!”
“Here I am,” he replied.
2 Then God said, “Take your son, your only son, whom you love—Isaac—and go to the region of Moriah. Sacrifice him there as a burnt offering on a mountain I will show you.”
3 Early the next morning Abraham got up and loaded his donkey. He took with him two of his servants and his son Isaac. When he had cut enough wood for the burnt offering, he set out for the place God had told him about. 
4 On the third day Abraham looked up and saw the place in the distance. 
5 He said to his servants, “Stay here with the donkey while I and the boy go over there. We will worship and then we will come back to you.”
6 Abraham took the wood for the burnt offering and placed it on his son Isaac, and he himself carried the fire and the knife. As the two of them went on together, 
7 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?”
8 Abraham answered, “God himself will provide the lamb for the burnt offering, my son.” And the two of them went on together.
9 When they reached the place God had told him about, Abraham built an altar there and arranged the wood on it. He bound his son Isaac and laid him on the altar, on top of the wood. 
10 Then he reached out his hand and took the knife to slay his son. 
11 But the angel of the Lordcalled out to him from heaven, “Abraham! Abraham!”
“Here I am,” he replied.
12 “Do not lay a hand on the boy,” he said. “Do not do anything to him. Now I know that you fear God, because you have not withheld from me your son, your only son.”
13 Abraham looked up and there in a thicket he saw a ram caught by its horns. He went over and took the ram and sacrificed it as a burnt offering instead of his son. 
14 So Abraham called that place The Lord Will Provide. And to this day it is said, “On the mountain of the Lord it will be provided.”
15 The angel of the Lordcalled to Abraham from heaven a second time 
16 and said, “I swear by myself, declares the Lord, that because you have done this and have not withheld your son, your only son, 
17 I will surely bless you and make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and as the sand on the seashore. Your descendants will take possession of the cities of their enemies, 
18 and through your offspring all nations on earth will be blessed, because you have obeyed me.”

 

Bible Verse of the Day-

“People can plan what they want to do, but it is the Lord who guides their steps.”

  5. He does have a plan. I was reading Joanne Ellison’s book, “Tell your Heart to Beat Again”. The verse that stood out to me this morning was Rom. 12:2 ESV “Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good, acceptable and perfect.”

    Madison Grace it is apparent that you are in tune to the mind of Christ by your writings. Keep up the good work!
