DAILY READINGS: 2 Samuel 1:1-27; Micah 3:1-4:8; Romans 9:30-10:21

On the mount of the Lord it shall be provided. Gen. 22:14, ESV

Abraham learned that it is on God’s mountain, by His terms and His ways, that His promises are fulfilled. The journey may be rugged and the valley long in between. But God’s purpose is for us to persevere, ever reaching new heights in fellowship with Him. God’s provision “on the mount” brought a new dimension to His relationship with Abraham. Abraham learned that the sacrifice of obedience is nothing to be compared with the magnitude of God’s provision! Blessed are those who journey in obedience to God. They too will experience the sweetness of His fellowship and the necessary provision for the way! —Deborah Manera

The Lord gives His people perpetual joy
When they walk in obedience to Him. —D. L. Moody
