The Thread That Never Breaks
There are moments in Scripture where heaven seems to pull back the curtain and let us glimpse the eternal storyline. Genesis 22 is one of those moments. Abraham climbs Mount Moriah with his promised son, Isaac — the son through whom God said nations would rise. Yet here he is, walking toward an altar with wood, fire, and a knife. Isaac asks the question every human heart eventually asks:
“Where is the lamb?”
Abraham answers with a declaration that echoes through the ages:
“God Himself will provide.”
And He did.
A ram caught in a thicket — a substitute, a provision, a picture. But the story didn’t end there. It couldn’t. The ram was only a shadow.
Centuries later, Solomon built the Temple on that same mountain — Mount Moriah — the place where blood would be shed daily, where lambs would be offered morning and evening, where Israel would be reminded again and again:
We need a substitute. And then, on the same mountain ridge, just outside the city walls, on a hill called Golgotha, the question Isaac asked was finally answered forever.
Where is the Lamb?
Here.
The Lamb of God.
The Lamb who takes away the sin of the world.
The Lamb who was slain — and now stands upon the throne.
The ram in the thicket was the first whisper. Jesus on the cross was the full revelation. The Lamb on the throne is the eternal conclusion.
This is the mountain where God provides — not once, but for all time.
🔥What Is God Providing for You on the Mountain?
Every believer eventually faces their own “Moriah moment” — a place where God asks for something precious, something promised, something we don’t want to lay down.
But Moriah is not the mountain of loss.
It is the mountain of provision.
It is the place where:
• What we fear losing becomes the place God reveals Himself
• What we think is the end becomes the beginning of revelation
• What we place on the altar becomes the doorway to promise
The ram was already there before Abraham ever lifted the knife. Provision was waiting before the test began.
And for you, — the same truth stands:
Provision is already in the thicket.
The Lamb has already been given.
The mountain you fear is the mountain where God provides.
🌬️ Prophetic Semblance: A Word for the One Climbing
🙏 Prayer
Father,
Thank You for being the God who provides before we even know what we need.
Thank You for the ram in the thicket and the Lamb on the throne.
Teach us to trust You on the mountain — not with trembling fear, but with expectant faith.
Where we see sacrifice, let us see Your provision.
Where we feel the weight of surrender, let us feel the nearness of Your presence.
Reveal the Lamb to us again — the One who was slain, the One who reigns, the One who walks with us up every mountain.
Strengthen our steps, steady our hearts, and open our eyes to the provision already waiting.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
