Isaac asks where the lamb is, and Abraham says: God will provide. He doesn't say 'I'll make it work' or 'We'll figure this out.' He says God will provide, and then he continues walking.
That phrase 'God will provide' became my mantra when I lost my job six months into the pandemic. Everything I'd built financially was fragile. I had a newborn and no income. Every logical part of me was terrified.
But Abraham's faith seemed almost stupid - walking up the mountain with the knife. Not because he was unafraid, but because something in him had learned that God's provision takes shapes he can't predict. It doesn't mean nothing bad happens. It means provision shows up within the crisis. For me, it was a community I didn't know existed that caught us. It was the kind of provision Abraham couldn't have imagined, but it was real.
