Jehovahjireh Our Provider

Good Morning!! Jehovahjireh means "the Lord will provide" or, literally, "the Lord will see to it." By the time Abraham used this name for God, he had learned from personal experience, the truth of its claims. When asked by God to sacrifice his son Isaac, Abraham trusted that somehow God would still keep His promise to make of Isaac a great nation. He obeyed God by taking Isaac to the altar, but trusted,...against reason and sight and feeling,...that somehow God would provide Himself a lamb (22:8). His faith was rewarded and validated, when God replaced Isaac with a ram, for the sacrifice.

And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovahjireh: as it is said to this day, In the mount of the Lord it shall be seen.Genesis 22:14 (KJV)

The fact is, God not only sees all, He sees to it all,...He will provide for all of our needs, according to His riches,...by Christ Jesus. Will you trust God to make good on His Word,...even when trusting means going against reason, sight, and feeling? Numbers 23:19 reminds us that "God is not a man, that he should lie…hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good? "

We can stand and hope on the promises of God,...now and forever.

O' Lord we will trust You today, no matter what issues we may be grappling with, or what we may be confronted by. We trust You to provide for us as You have for others. We're trusting You to see it through. Amen.

"I pray, that your rejoicing be made more abundant in Jesus Christ."
