Recently, I came across the name for God, Jehovah-Jireh, and was reminded of this characteristic of His. Jehovah-Jireh is a name for God that means “The Lord Will Provide.” This name originates in Genesis 22:14, where Abraham names the place where God provided a ram for the sacrifice instead of his son Isaac. The name reflects on God’s provision and faithfulness to provide for His people’s needs. This is a good reminder for me at this stage of my life. In the not too distant future, I am leaving the security of my paying position, and stepping into the plan and calling God has set out for me. In knowing where my provision comes from, and also knowing I am being obedient, I need not be concerned or worried about the loss of income. God will provide. Paul tells us who owns everything and where we get our provision when he says, “For God is the one who provides seed for the farmer and then bread to eat.” 2 Corinthians 9:10a So, I will look to my Jehovah-Jireh, my provider, and know it is from Him we have all things. “For the earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it.”
