Jehovah-jireh

"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 (KJV)


Our God is a God of provider, When Abraham went to the mount to offer his Son to God, he was obeying the word of God and never thought about anything else. His absolute surety on God, that God will provide the best, God's decision for life will be the best is shown when he said to Issac -

Genesis 22:8 NIV
Abraham answered, "God himself will provide the lamb for the burnt offering, my son." And the two of them went on together.

Our God is a Holy God, Perfect. How can a God ask his creation to offer sacrifice of his own Son? The answer is, "When Jesus was Crucified, God did not stop his creation to stop killing his own Son. Because through which our sins are forgiven. So much is the Love of God for us. He is Just. When Jesus was at cana - Marriage - People just obeyed him, his word. They were able to see the miracle. In our lives too when we believe in this Son of God - Jesus Christ, that he gave his life for us, so that we could live and have eternal life through him. Trusting in God at times of trouble, when things are not going according to our plan is very important, For God's plan are much more better, its much benefiting for our lives than whatever we could do for ourselves. He is the ultimate provider, when the world was our of order through Sin, God provided us the "Lamb".

Romans 5:10 NIV
For if, while we were God's enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life! 

Revelation 5:12 NIV
In a loud voice they were saying: "Worthy is the Lamb, who was slain, to receive power and wealth and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and praise!"

Our Hope in him will never be cut-off, as Paul says:

Philippians 4:19 NIV
And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.
