W@W WRAP - Week 135: GOD IS OUR PROVIDER…

YHWH JIREH, Hebrew for “THE LORD WILL PROVIDE” means “God sees”. The provision of God can be understood to mean: “God sees the future and knows the past and present – He therefore sees and knows our needs even before they become apparent to us and He then makes provision for what will be needed”. Still, we sometimes get discouraged and start to doubt God’s very nature as our PROVIDER – especially when it feels like we are asking God to fill a need, or for a positive outcome for a desperate situation or for that miracle we’ve been praying for, for years…

Genesis 22:13-14 (AMP): Then Abraham looked up and glanced around, and behold, behind him was a ram caught in a thicket by his horns. And Abraham went and took the ram and offered it up for a burnt offering (ascending sacrifice) instead of his son. So Abraham named that place, “The Lord Will Provide”. And it is said to this day, “On the mountain of the Lord it will be seen and provided”.
