There are often times when we face situations where we feel as though we are alone. Times when we feel like there is no one around but us. But the scripture tells us that the Lord is our very present help in times of trouble (Psalm 46:1) In fact, scripture also tells us that the Lord always provides a “ram in the bush”. This is divine provision set-up and arranged by our Heavenly Father. He is the one that goes before us and clears a path, and provides that “ram in the bush”. On this journey, we need not fret that as we step into our God- given destiny, that he won’t provide provision for us. It’s already laid out and waiting for us to receive! Praise God for his faithfulness!
I remember working as the Director of Sales for a prominent hotel chain. I’d worked at this hotel for nearly six years when in September of 2004, I was released from my duties due to the Hurricanes that had swept through the State, and the hotel suffering from insurmountable damage. I was devastated. How was I going to survive and take care of my children without an income? I began searching for jobs everywhere. I was willing to do next to anything to work and earn money to live. I was out of work for 3 months. During these 3 months, neither I nor my children suffered from lack. We didn’t want for anything. The Lord had divinely connected me to people who would pour into me spiritually and financially. I had family and friends who knew my situation that would come by with bags of groceries, cleaning supplies and even gas money. I began receiving money in the mail from companies who owed me money; that I knew nothing about. These random acts fueled my faith and I was grateful that the Lord didn’t leave me during this trying time. On the contrary, he was there with me, and providing for me each and every day. He orchestrated divine connections for me, and I was able to find a job and begin working. I will never forget how the Lord showed up for me. Whenever I have situations going on in my life, I quickly remind myself how capable my Father in heaven is, and how he’ll always provide me with a “ram in the bush”; a way through all of life’s circumstances.
Trust in the Lord today to provide your “ram in the bush” and offer provision for you. Trust him to show up in all situations, and he will meet you there, right where you are!
