“Then He said, Take now your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you.”

Genesis 22:2

Often times, this is how the LORD works. He gives us an instruction and He’ll let us know when we get there! What we have to do is get up and go!

“Now the LORD had said to Abram: Get out of your country, From your family And from your father’s house, To a land I will show you.”

Genesis 12:1

The LORD is always right there with us as we go and do what He says, no matter how uncomfortable that may be. Realize that when the LORD guides and directs us, He will provide what we need!

“And Abraham called the name of the place, The-LORD-Will-Provide; as it is said to this day, In the Mount of the LORD it shall be provided.”

Genesis 22:14

Knowing this should really encourage us as we step out with the LORD. He is guiding and providing every step of the way! What is really awesome is the Hebrew word Moriah is actually two words Moray = Teacher/Guide and Yah = God. Have a blessed day knowing that the LORD is your teacher, He is your guide and He is with you every step you take!

“And Sarah said, God has made me laugh, and all who hear will laugh with me.”

Genesis 21:6

The LORD wants us to have joy, He wants us to laugh! So often we get so caught up in the situations of life, instead of being filled with the joy of the LORD!

“Yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will joy in the God of my salvation.”

Habakkuk 3:18

We all have situations going on in our lives, usually the basic three: health, wealth and relationships. What we need to realize is the LORD has got it! The LORD doesn’t save us just to abandon us! He walks with us, He goes before us and He has help on the way for our needs!

“What shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?

Romans 8:31

As believers, we can always have joy when we realize the battle belongs to the LORD! Let us go through our day knowing the Lord has got us covered. This should bring us great joy and laughter. Remember, laughter is infectious!

Have a blessed day.

“Now Abraham said of Sarah his wife, She is my sister. And Abimelech king of Gerar sent and took Sarah.”

Genesis 20:2

We need to be careful of telling half truths, because half truths are really just lies. Don’t think by twisting the truth somehow it makes things better, it doesn’t!

“And Abraham said, Because I thought, surely the fear of God is not in this place; and they will kill me on account of my wife.”

Genesis 20:12

We should never fear man more than God, but often times that’s what we do. We are more fearful of what man can do to us instead of trusting in what the LORD has done for us!

“If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth.”

1 John 1:6

Realize that through out the day we will have many opportunities to speak, whether verbally, text messaging or on social media. Let’s make sure what we say or make comments on is true, not half truths that make us look or feel better! We are saved and belong to the LORD, so let us walk and have fellowship in His light, which is true! Have a blessed day.

“But his wife looked back behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.”

Genesis 19:26

We all need to be careful of looking back! Like Mrs. Lot, I believe she was looking back at Sodom because she loved it and was sad to leave! She may have loved Lot, but it seems she loved Sodom a lot more!

“Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.”

1 John 2:15

Now, in life there can be a great many things that we can enjoy like family, vacations and a variety of activities. All that is OK, but we need to put the love of the LORD first! Every good thing comes from the LORD!

“Oh, taste and see that the LORD is good; Blessed is the man who trusts in Him!”

Psalm 34:8

Today, no matter what your struggles or situation maybe, don’t look back at what you may have had, but, instead, look forward to what the LORD has, a perfect place built for you in Heaven! Have a blessed day looking forward!

“And the LORD said to Abraham, Why did Sarah laugh, saying, Shall I surely bear a child, since I am old?”

Genesis 18:13

Have you ever laughed at what the LORD has promised you, “saying things like that’s never gonna happen.” Basically just not believing the LORD can!

“Is anything too hard for the LORD? At the appointed time I will return to you, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son.”

Genesis 18:14

We can believe in the LORD, but at the same time have doubts and unbelief! The LORD says He’ll never leave us nor forsake us, and we can count on that!

“Immediately the father of the child cried out and said with tears, LORD,I believe; help my unbelief!”

Mark 9:24

Life does have many different situations that come at us, some good and some bad. We just need to trust and believe that the LORD will see us through all of them! Today, let us laugh, knowing no matter what, the LORD will get us through!

Have a blessed day!
