Yahweh Yireh (Lord Provider)


Yahweh Yireh  The Lord will provide. Yahweh Yireh, which is translated the "Lord Provider".  Simple in and of itself, but the word "reh" actually means to see.  The word Yireh is then more accurately translated to see beforehand!  So it actually has the richer and deeper truth of His omniscience!  He is the Lord who sees our need beforehand and thus provides for us in every situation.  What a comfort to know that the Lord can and will provide for you because He has seen and knows your need far before you even knew you had one!  We are truly loved with an everlasting love - demonstrated on the cross, partaken of today.

Abraham named this place after Jehovah (Jehovahjireh ) for provided a ram to sacrifice in place of Isaac. (Genesis 22:14).
Jehovahjireh : as it is said to this day, In the mount of the LORD it shall be seen."

But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:19)
 The Lord will provide the word of God tells me that it never seen the children of God begging for bread.  So let us trust in the Lord with all of our heart and soul.

Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?
 Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they? (Matthew 6:25-26)

Are you starting to see a theme here? My heavenly Father will provide, for he did not bring any of us this far to leave us. He did not leave Abraham on that mountain alone, he went with Abraham into the valley of death and Abraham did not fear instead he trusted in the Lord God and was blessed.  Isn't it time we start to trust in the Father, since we are his children, will he provide for his own???
 To me this picture speaks volumes of our Lord and how he is our provider and he carries when we can not bare up our own burden.  Thank you for your provision for the body.
