January 11, 2023 – A Question Of Providing

 January 11, 2023
 Daily Reading – Genesis 24 / Matthew 8

 GOD’S WORD:

Genesis 24:48 And I bowed down my head, and worshipped the LORD, and blessed the LORD God of my master Abraham, which had led me in the right way to take my master’s brother’s daughter unto his son.

GETTING INTO GOD’S WORD:

    Ok, here is your task for today. Go out into whatever town you live in and find a person who has a 1929 Buffalo Nickel in perfect condition in their pocket. Not only that, but this person must have received that nickel from one of your past relatives, and finally, they must be willing to give that 1929 Buffalo Nickel to you. Sound impossible?

    Abraham’s servant was given the task of going into a far country to find a wife amidst a community of people he had never met. Furthermore, not just any young lady would do. She had to come from a particular family. Abraham’s family. Then, after finding such a girl, he had to persuade that family to release her into his care, someone they had never met, to take her away from them back to where he came from. Remind you of finding the Buffalo Nickel task? How is this even possible? This servant of Abraham had seen the faith of his master in his God. In Genesis 24:7 Abraham told his servant; “The LORD God of heaven, …he shall send his angel before thee, and thou shalt take a wife unto my son from thence.” The servant believed his master, and his master believed in his God. As you read through the story you see the hand of God providing exactly what the servant was looking for, and more. A virgin daughter of Abraham’s brother’s family. The servant did as anyone should do when God provides, He worshipped God. 

GETTING GOD’S WORD INTO ME:

     God will provide for us if we will listen and let Him lead. Remember back in Gen. 18:14 when God asked “Is any thing too hard for the Lord”

When it comes to a question of God providing, we need to ask ourselves, Is anything too hard for God?
