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.” (I Corinthians 10:26).
As you reflect on Jehovah-Jireh, consider how you can trust God with your needs today. What steps can you take to rely on His provision in your life? Share your thoughts and experiences in the comments below, and let’s encourage one another to trust in our faithful Provider. If you know someone who might need this reminder, please share this post with them. Let’s walk this journey of faith together, trusting that Jehovah-Jireh will provide for every need.

Thank you,
This is great reminder as we rest and trust in HIM to provide all our spritual, emotional and financial needs. May God guide you and give you peace during this time in your life.
Yes, He is the source of all of our needs: spiritual, emotional, and financial. I am depending – leaning – on Him for all of those. Thank you for your prayers and continued support!
