Jehovah-Jireh

Abraham said, "God will provide for himself the lamb for a burnt offering, my son." So they went both of them together. - Genesis 22:8

In Genesis 22, God tests Abraham's faith. He said, 

"Take your son, your only son—yes, Isaac, whom you love so much—and go to the land of Moriah. Go and sacrifice him as a burnt offering on one of the mountains, which I will show you." - Genesis 22:2

So Abraham takes Isaac to Moriah to make the sacrifice. As they approached the site, Isaac asked Abraham, "Where is the lamb for the burnt offering?" And Abraham answers by faith, "God will provide." Abraham continues to prepare to sacrifice Isaac. And as he was about to make the sacrifice, God provided! As the story continues, God provides a ram for Abraham in place of Isaac to make a burnt offering. Abraham names the location Jehovah-Jireh, meaning "The LORD will provide." Jehovah-Jireh provided a sacrifice to save Isaac, foreshadowing our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world. 

Brothers and sisters, let us remember that God provided His only Son as a sacrifice. Let us, therefore, trust and obey our God. In times of need, let us not forget Jesus' words to the Apostle Paul,

"My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness." - 2 Corinthians 12:9b
