Abraham called
the name of that place, The Lord Will Provide, as it is said to this day; “In
the mount of the Lord it will be provided.’’ (Genesis 22:14)
Jehovah Jireh
means the Lord who provides. God tested Abraham by asking him to sacrifice his son
Isaac. Without any hesitation, Abraham was willing to sacrifice his beloved
son. He trusted God to provide even before He did as he was given the promise
of God that he will be the father of many nations.
Abraham’s
faith was so great when he told his servants that we will worship God and then
we will come back to you. At the very moment of sacrifice, God provided a ram to
Abraham and he sacrificed the ram. Abraham named that place Jehovah Jireh- The
Lord who provides. This incident demonstrated Abraham’s obedience and faith in
God.
God is our
provider. He provided His only son Jesus Christ for us to have eternal life. He
has provided us every spiritual blessing through Christ. He has provided us guidance and
comfort through the Holy spirit. He always provides all our needs. Let us have
the faith that our God shall supply all our needs according to His riches in
glory.
