God will Provide!

As Thanksgiving is coming upon us, it is awesome to remember the things that we are truly thankful for!

One story from the Bible really reminds me of what I really have to be thankful for! God tested Abraham and God told Abraham to take his son and sacrifice him as a burnt offering. He did as God said and cut the wood for the sacrifice and took his son on the 3 day journey to the place God told him to go. Abraham took his son to sacrifice him. His son asked his father where the sacrifice was and Abraham told him that God will provide the lamb for the burnt offering. Abraham followed what God told him to do and just as he was about to sacrifice his son, an angel of the Lord told him to stop. Abraham showed that he feared God because he didn't withhold his son. After this:

"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. So Abraham called that place 'The LORD Will Provide.'

(read the full story here: Genesis 22)
As Christians, we have so many things to be thankful for! The most important thing we have to be thankful of is that God provides!! He provided a sacrifice in place for us!!

Please pray for the people that don't know anything about that sacrifice! There are millions of people in Delhi that don't know about the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus Christ. Please pray that they will get opportunities to hear!!
