3 February sermon on the pulpit: The Great Exchange
A small boy had been consistently late for dinner.
One particular day his parents had warned him to be on time, but he arrived later than ever. He found his parents already seated at the table, about to start eating. Quickly he sat at his place, and then noticed what was set before him – a slice of bread and a glass of water. There was silence as he sat staring at his plate, crushed. Suddenly, he saw his father’s hand reach over, pick up his plate and set it before himself. Then his dad put his own full plate in front of his son, smiling warmly as he made the exchange.
When the boy became a man, he said “All my life I’ve known what God was like by what my father did that night.” (Homemade, May 1989)
God had made Himself known to us especially in how He has always provided for us. Let us be faithful in our walk with God and in our service for Him even when it seems that there is nothing in it for us. Abraham discovered that principle in his journey to Mount Moriah, Abraham called God Yahweh Yireh, God the Provider.
