CAUGHT IN THE THICKET AND WITHIN REACH
"And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold behind him a ram caught in a thicket by his horns: and Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering in the stead of his son."
You've seen according to John 3:27 that unless things are descended for you or voluntarily given to you first, you just cannot have them. It is not how tall you are physically that makes you possess things or have them. No! It is God's to give or release to you. The Bible has this to say to that effect.
"28 That thou givest them they gather: thou openest thine hand, they are filled with good.
29 Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled..."
It is what God gives us we gather. When He hides His face, we are immediately troubled, pessimistic on where our provision will come from.
This tells us that all of creation takes survival from God. If God closes His store, they'll be troubled and thrown into a frenzy.
However, you're receiving help today. It is the help God gives to Abraham, his friend after testing his heart and affirming his obedience. When God tells Abraham to look up and not sacrifice Isaac, God's provision draws near.
It is a ram! God has provided a sacrifice like Abraham earlier assured and spoke in faith to Isaac - "God will provide for Himself a lamb." However, God is full of compassion and much consideration. He knows Abraham cannot pursue or exercise himself strenuously to run after a ram. So, God devised a means. He held the ram in a thicket for Abraham. This now leaves Abraham to only approach, untie and sacrifice it in place of Isaac. So, strenuous effort is eliminated.
This is what God is doing for you. He's bringing it near you. What is meant for you shall be caught in a thicket for you. Blessings will not be on the run and on motion, distancing themselves from you. Rather, they'll be within your reach. They'll be intentionally lowered down for you.
PRAYER: Provision, opportunities and wherewithal I need to do life is caught in a thicket for me.
