Thank God Our Provider Jehovah Jireh

And Abraham called the name of the place, The-Lord-Will-Provide; as it is said to this day, “In the Mount of the Lord it shall be provided.” - Genesis 22:15. 

             Abraham told Isaac that God will provide a lamb for burnt offering as he believed that God’s promise would not fail. Then he said, “Look, the fire and the wood, but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?” And Abraham said, “God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering - Genesis 22:7, 8. He also offered Isaac with faith as he believed that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead. By faith Abraham, when he was tested, offered up Isaac, and he who had received the promises offered up his only begotten son, of whom it was said, “In Isaac your seed shall be called,” concluding that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead, from which he also received him in a figurative sense - Hebrews 11:17-19.           

               God provided a ram at the right moment to Abraham when he prepared to offer his son in obedience to God’s command. So, Abraham named the place Jehovah Jireh, saying, “On the mountain of the Lord it will be provided.” Then Abraham lifted his eyes and looked, and there behind him was a ram caught in a thicket by its horns. So Abraham went and took the ram, and offered it up for a burnt offering instead of his son. And Abraham called the name of the place, The-Lord-Will-Provide; as it is said to this day, “In the Mount of the Lord it shall be provided.” - Genesis 22:13-15.     

            Let us lead a life of faith like Abraham and thank God our Provider Jehovah Jireh, a faithful Father who provides us everything at right moment. And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus - Philippians 4:19.  For the Lord God is our sun and our shield. He gives us grace and glory. The Lord will withhold no good thing from those who do what is right - Psalm 84:11. He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things? - Romans 8:32. 

                                                                

PRAYER: Dear Lord, You are Jehovah Jireh, God our provider. We thank You providing us everything at right moment. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.
