ON THE MOUNTAIN, IT SHALL BE PROVIDED

For those of you who know me have been hearing about our house renovation like forever. Yup, finaaaaaallllly our house is completed and we have moved in. Btw ALL ARE WELCOME to drop in whenever you can. Our doors are open! Like literally open all the time (Coz we usually don’t lock our house). J

And guess what we named our house “MT MORIAH”! Sounds familiar isn’t it. Yes, it’s a Biblical name which I’m super fond off.  Mainly coz it’s taken from one of my most favorite stories of the Bible which is the story of Abraham and Isaac.

We all know that when Abraham obeyed God and was ready to sacrifice His son, God stopped him. It was on Mt Moriah that Abraham named the place, “God provides”.  Literally God provided us this house hence the name. And it was the on the same mountain where King Solomon built a temple in the Bible. Btw Solomon and I also wish to make our house a place of worship.

Going back to Abraham’s story, it’s the same place where we get the saying, “ON THE MOUNTAIN, IT SHALL BE PROVIDED”. The word “Mountain” in talking terms usually refers to some stumbling block in life or a difficult situation. So when Abraham obeyed God, He provided for him.  I believe God can provide whatever you are wanting today if we obey Him and if it is aligned to His will. Whatever mountain that you are facing today, God will be your provider, on the mountain!

GOD PROVIDES

Genesis 22:2

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.”

Just like God told Abraham to sacrifice his son whom he loved so much, God told me that I need to sacrifice people whom I love. I have climbed Mt. Moriah over and over again. I held people I love dearly. Nothing could snatch them away from me. God had to deal with me. Every time I started getting close to people rather than getting close to God, He would ask me to sacrifice them. I had to let many people go from my life. Letting go off people whom you love is not easy. I’m sure it wasn’t easy for Abraham to sacrifice his ONLY son, whom he LOVED. I had to obey God without questioning Him just like Abraham. I climbed Mt. Moriah, I laid people on the altar and God took them away from me. He did not stop.

The last time I climbed Mt. Moriah, it was very hard. I laid the person whom I love the most on the altar. I also laid my desires, my strength, my weakness, my marriage, my family, my job, my future, my tears; I laid EVERYTHING on the altar. I gave him to God. I gave my Isaac to God. This time, God gave him back to me. Indeed God provides. No wonder 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.”

There may be situations in our life where the Lord is asking to lay something on the altar. It may be something close to your heart. A loved one, a loved job, a loved vehicle, a loved thing, a loved house or even a loved place. You may have to obey God and climb Mt. Moriah. Lay it on the altar. God may either give it back to you or take it away from you for your good. He is God. He knows the best for you. He loves you.

Are you ready to climb Mt. Moriah now?

The story of Abraham is found in Geneisis 22 1-18
