Lord Will Provide Jehovah Jireh
The climax of more than 20 faith-
stretching years for Abraham and
Sarah comes in the birth of Isaac,
their miracle son and heir. But soon
Abraham’s faith is tested again
as God calls upon him to sacrifice
that treasured son upon an altar.
Abraham obeys, showing that
the experiences of the past two
decades have not been in vain.
For his faithfulness to the point
of death, God rewards Abraham
with further assurance of blessing.
In the closing years of Abraham’s
life, a time saddened by Sarah’s
death, there remains one important
detail:finding suitable bride for Isaac.
All Praise be to Jehovah Jireh:
Abraham took the knife to slay
his son. But the Angel of the Lord
called: Do not lay your hand on
the lad for now I know that you
fear God since you have not
withhold your son, your only son
from Me. Then Abraham lifted his
eyes and there was a ram caught
in a thicket by its horns. So,
Abraham took the ram & offered
it up for a burnt offering instead
of his son. And Abraham called
the name of the place: The Lord
Will Provide (Gen 22:10-14).
Jehovah Jireh, my provider, thank
You for health, finances, shelter,
food, love… for all ultimately come
from You. Even at times when I’ve
experienced lack, You have come
through to meet my needs and
bless me to let me know You care.
And even for difficult trials, they
strengthen my spiritual muscles
and draw me closer to You. Amen
Jehovah Jireh, forgive me for
many times I have looked to
something else as my source
when You alone are my provider.
Everyone and everything else is
merely a resource, yet I still go
elsewhere for what only You can
provide. You indeed are my source.
You are my Jehovah Jireh,
my provider and my Lord! Amen.
Jehovah Jireh, my provider,
I appeal to this name more than
any other. Let me know You in
the truest form of this name.
Let me see You on the mountain-
top of my own struggles. Come
through for me as You Lord did
in providing Abraham’s sacrifice.
In Jesus’ mighty name, Amen.
