Father Abraham was about ready to sacrifice his son on an altar on the
top of a desolate mountain in the land of Moriah. How did I know that the
mountain was desolate? I know because if it was not desolate, Abraham would not
have taken the wood and the fire from the base of the mountain. He also asked
his two servants to wait at the base of the mountain just so that should Isaac
want to make any trouble, there won’t be no one to help him.
When they were almost nearing the top of the mountain, Isaac asked a
very critical question, “Father, behold the fire and the wood, but where is the
lamb for the grunt offering?” Abraham answered, “God will provide for Himself
the lamb for the burnt offering.”
At that moment, some processes began and one way or the other, a lamb
was made available for the sacrifice instead of Isaac being used. Jehovah Jireh
is the Lord our provider. He is our supplier. He makes all things available for
us. He is your source of provision.
When the children of Israel were out of Egypt and they needed water,
God brought water from out of the rock. When they needed food, He rained down
food for them on a daily basis.
The Bible says that the Lord will supply (provide) all of your needs
according to His riches in glory, not according to your salary; not according
to the economic situation of your country. That God will provide is not a
product of your own work, it is a product of God’s riches.
There was no way the children of Israel could have caused food to rain
down from heaven, but because Jehovah Jireh is not limited by the present
situation of a man, He provided everything that they needed as at when needed.
He is always timely.
For a reader of this devotional, I don’t know that which is your own
need, but I have come to tell you this morning that there is nothing God cannot
provide. He brought money out of the mouth of a fish. He used a raven to feed a
man.
As you call on Jehovah Jireh today, He will answer you in Jesus Name.
Amen!
