Day 6 – Jehovah Jireh

“And He said, “Do not lay your hand on the lad, or do anything to him; for now I know that you fear God since you have not withheld your son, your only son, from Me.” 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 22:12-14

Jehovah Jireh means: The Lord Who provides or The Lord Who Will See To It. When we come before God, with a specific need in our hearts, we come with the need in our spirit to God who will see to our needs and provide for us. Only God knows my need because He sees. Only God can meet my need at just the right time as He did for Abraham, and only God can meet it fully. For Abraham, it was the ram caught in the thicket that was offered in Isaac’s place. For us, it is whatever we need according to our humble and honest hearts’ true desires.

Prayer: Father, You truly are the Lord who will provide what I need. Thank You for being the sole provider for my physical, emotional, and spiritual needs. Thank You for meeting them before I sometimes even need to ask. You take care of the birds in the air and they have no concerns, therefor I repent for the times when I am worried about provisions. You are Jehovah Jireh in my whole life and every situation that may cross my path. Amen.

PS… Write down the basic provisions needed for day-to-day living. Tick each one as they are met. Now let’s go a little bigger. Write down the provisions you are trusting from God, your heart desires.
