Three Stages in Your Walk with God
July 2, 2010
‘...Abraham lifted his eyes...’ Genesis 22:4 NKJV
Three times the Bible says, Abraham ‘lifted his eyes…’ They represent three stages in your walk with God: (1) When God reveals Himself to you. ‘Then the Lord appeared to him…as he was sitting in the tent door…So he lifted his eyes and looked, and behold, three men [angels] were standing by him; and when he saw them, he…bowed himself to the ground, and said “…do not pass on by Your servant.”‘ (Genesis 18:1-3 NKJV) There must be a moment in your life when you meet the Lord, fall at His feet and say, ‘I need you. Do not pass me by.’ (2) When God points you in the right direction. ‘…Abraham lifted his eyes and saw the place [of sacrifice]…’ (Genesis 22:4 NKJV) God was calling on him to offer up Isaac, the son he loved dearly. What is God asking of you today? Say ‘yes,’ and you’ll never regret it. (3) When God provides in ways that amaze you. ‘…Abraham lifted his eyes and looked, and there…was a ram caught in a thicket by its horns. So Abraham…offered it up for a burnt offering instead of his son.’ (Genesis 22:13 NKJV) Notice, Abraham didn’t call God ‘Jehovah Jireh’ when the ram suddenly showed up. No, before there was a ram in sight, before they reached the place of sacrifice, Abraham said, ‘God will provide…’ (Genesis 22:8 NKJV) Faith declares, ‘Before I have a need, God has already put in place a divine supply.’ Note what Abraham said: ‘…In the Mount of the Lord it shall be provided.’ (Genesis 22:14 NKJV) When you’re where God wants you to be, He will meet your every need.
