Behind the scenes—literally, behind Abraham—the Lord was already providing a way of deliverance: a sacrificial ram as a substitute for Isaac. “So Abraham called the name of that place, ‘The LORD will provide’; as it is said to this day, ‘On the mount of the LORD it shall be provided’” (Gen 22:14).
The God who tests is also the God who provides for you.

"Time to Bloom"
Does anyone else get that summertime vibe when beautiful, colourful flowers start to pop up everywhere, swaying delicately in the cool breeze under a pristine, rich blue sky? 🌼🌷🌤️ Well, I know I do, and for me, this image epitomises that summertime feeling. ☀️😎
It was taken in my rear garden about six months ago. In the midmorning sun 🌞, the small number of flowers in the flowerbed were pleasingly backlit 🌻. Making the most of the marvellous lighting, I photographed dozens of flowers from a variety of angles, but this was by far my favourite.
Exposure settings:
1/1250s, F3.2, ISO100

A pair of lovely goldfinches are busily building a nest just outside one of our windows. These are two ridiculously pretty little birds with perfectly defined bands of golden yellow and glorious red!
What a joy to see them beavering away looking as beautiful as God intended them to look, building their nest, with not a care in the world - even the wind we have today is blowing them all over the place, and yet they sit on a small branch, steady as a rock. What a reminder to be peaceful amongst the winds of life.
It reminds me of Matthew 6:26-34 (NLT)
Look at the birds. They don’t plant or harvest or store food in barns, for your heavenly Father feeds them. And aren’t you far more valuable to him than they are? Can all your worries add a single moment to your life?...and so much more heavenly wisdom

I need to share this - celebration time:
I've just published a unique thing.
Audiobook based on the life of Dietrich Bonhoeffer and his confrontation with the spirit of the antichrist of his time - Adolf Hitler.
From Dietrichs' experience written by himself and number of authors comes out a set of 12 lessons for the Church today.
The whole thing is called:
"AND WHEN THE ANTI-CHRIST ARISES ... 12 lessons of resistance in times of insidious persecution. Based on the life and testimony of Pastor Bonhoeffer."
Presented by a dear friend of mine - Fabian Blaszkiewicz
I have a friend in Shanghai. He’s been locked in his apartment for a long time. I think about three weeks now. Please pray that the people are released and set free soon. I’ve heard reports of some committing suicide. This is a common side affect of lockdowns. We’ve seen it across the world. Kids suffer the most. They get addicted to gaming and dads lose it on families, etc etc. Pray that Holy Spirit comes and invades those home with Massive Shalom bombs that give nothing it peace healing and Justice of the soul! Amen!!
Miracles are welcome! Ministry that hosted
