The Names Of God Series | JEHOVAH JIREH (THE LORD WILL PROVIDE)
Jehovah is
translated as "The Existing One" or "Lord." The chief
meaning of Jehovah is derived from the Hebrew word Havah meaning "to
be" or "to exist." It also suggests "to become" or
specifically "to become known" - this denotes a God who reveals
Himself unceasingly. Jehovah-Jireh is a symbolic name given to Mount Moriah by
Abraham to memorialize the intercession of God in the sacrifice of Isaac by
providing a substitute for the imminent sacrifice of his son. [from BlueLetterBible]
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
Genesis 22:14
God provided
a ram to be used in replacement of his long awaited son, Isaac. God provided Jesus, as the
ultimate atoning sacrifice. God provides us with life, the very breath that we
inhale and exhale comes from Him. God provides us with everything.
The Lord is
my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green
pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul:
he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea,
though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil:
for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou
preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my
head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall
follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for
ever.
Psalm 23
Psalm 23
Look at the birds of the air;
they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father
feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?

Every good gift and
every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights,
with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.

Thanks be to
God whom provides for His creation, both those that acknowledge Him and those
that do not. We give thanks for Your loving-kindness which transcends beyond
human comprehension, and pierces the innermost parts. May we seek to know You
more dear God, and mimic that same love, compassion, kindness, and grace to
those that we met. In the name of the precious one, by whom alone we are saved,
Jesus Christ. ✝
