LORD PROVIDES

“Abraham looked up and there in a thicket he saw a ram caught by its horns. He went over and took the ram and sacrificed it as a burnt offering instead of his son. So Abraham called that place The LORD Will Provide.”

Genesis 22:13

In Hebrew, “The LORD Will Provide” is “Jehovah Yireh,” meaning the LORD will see to it.” God had commanded Abraham to sacrifice his son as an ultimate test of his obedience.  It foreshadowed what God the Father would do in sacrificing His beloved Son for us. God saw to it that Abraham had a substitute to offer in the place of Isaac: a ram.  God saw to it that we had a sacrifice to offer in our place: Jesus. The LORD Provided His SON. What a great PROVIDER we have in the Father and Son. Worship them.  

Lord God, I praise You, Jehovah Yireh, The LORD Will Provide. Thank You for providing Your Son to pay my sin debt. I worship You!
