YAHWEH YIREH - “On the mountain of the LORD, it will be provided.”
Long long ago,
Abraham made a journey,
Along with his precious one,
to the mountain of the Lord !1
Was his heart full of questions and anxiety ?
or
Was it filled of fear of loss of his precious ?
or
Was it full of Trust ?
or
Was it waves of doubt and trust ?
Anyways, he decided to walk to the mountain.
with a little anticipation to see what God would do this time,
for he had seen the Might of God in his past !
When doubt and fear crept in,
he replaced it with the promises he received,
also memories of times he had seen God's outstretched arm for him,
and trust in God's Goodness and Mercy for him !
When he felt tired on his journey
and looked up to the mountain to travel to,
somehow in his heart he knew,
the one who is taking him through this journey would meet him there !
Hence not giving up, he made his journey !
He reached the mountain top,
and not being numbed or stuck,
by the enormity of what he was getting into,
belief in the Mightiness, Goodness and Faithfulness of God overpowering him,
moved forward to do what he had to !
In the heaven God was amazed,
Called his Angels and proudly rejoiced,
such love, such trust, such obedience from his beloved on earth,
"him I will make Father of Nations,
through his seed I will bless the nations !"
On the mountain, Abraham heard a voice ;
a voice of caring assurance ;
his heart skipped when he saw the lamb ;
not at the sight of the lamb,
but the one who provided for him hitherto, had provided again.
the lamb took the place of the precious he feared would lose.
the lamb took the pain, suffering, destiny,
so that Abraham and his precious need not suffer loss and pain,
He continued his journey rejoicing, along with his loved ones,
to see more of God's mightiness and faithfulness for his generations !
What does your journey look like now ?
What emotions your heart carries ?
What are the thoughts that overwhelm you ?
Be not numbed ; Be not stuck ;
Walk the journey with the little strength you have,
For when you reach the mountain
you will meet your provider,
for the lamb took the place of precious you fear to lose !2
for the lamb of God was already slain years ago,
taking the pain, curse and all unwanted on himself
and freeing us from it all,
good and perfect gifts for every burden placed on the lamb !
for the lamb is slain to prosper God's will/ desire for you;3
and father's desire is thoughts of goodness and to prosper you.4
Each one of us walk a different journey,
for some it may seem tiring or heavy or lonely or unfair,
for some it may be guilt - of missed opportunities, of mistakes
for some it may be ignorance, weakness, sin, rebellion,
for none it is perfect, for none a smooth walk !
For all it is what we behold when we walk !
Behold the one who already awaits
Behold and receive his Light, Life and Power,
Hear the voice of Shepherd who calls,
Even if we falter he gets us back.
When the journey gets tough,
Remember the Lordship of 'The Maker of heaven and earth' ;
Remember the Faithfulness of 'The Promise keeper' ;
Remember Him 'Sovereign' and 'Might' over all ;
Remember His Love for you, most of all !
Walk your journey, reach the mountain
