Provided
This sculpture depicts a "urial" sheep which were native in Israel at the time of Abraham.

Provided was the strength to carry wood and flame and knife. Provided was an only son, and the faith to take his life.
Provided was a promise, The child would make a chosen race. Provided was a ram to take the sinner's place.
Provision's not the point when God moves to meet a need, anymore than planting's point is to simply bury seed.
Provision turns our eyes to their maker up above and helps define his character as a faithful God of love.
Provided is a lamb, sent to take the sinner's place, provided we accept in faith the offer of his grace.
