"And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering: so they went both of them together. 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". Genesis 22:8, 13
The Lord God sees everything ahead of time and makes the provision when He sees it. He is not a last minute God. Although, the manifestation of His provisions often show up at the "last minute".
Before Abraham had obeyed and surrendered to the Lord's command to offer his son Isaac as a sacrifice, God had already seen his obedience and provided a ram in the thicket. He didn't wait to decide or figure out what to do at the last minute. He had it already waiting, already planned out and already provided. The manifestation of His provision didn't show up until Abraham had climbed the mountain, made the altar, tied his son to it and drew back the knife. Talk about "last minute" manifestation-- but it was not a last minute provision.
God has your provision already. Whatever it is you need, whatever it is you have been praying and seeking Him about, whatever act of obedience you are doing, wherever you are following Him, it is already provided. It will manifest at the appropriate time. It will come at what you think is the "last minute". So, don't give up. Hold on. Exercise your faith. By faith Abraham offered his son Isaac and God manifested what was already provided. Believe this: what you need is already provide and it will manifest at just the right time-- even if you think the time is last minute.
Have a great day. God doesn't wait until the last minute to provide for your need, but He may wait until the last minute to manifest it.
