Sisters, today I want to remind you that our God really is Jehovah Jireh—He will provide. I want you to really meditate on that today, because God always takes care of His children. And He gives us His best.
Think about how God showed up for Abraham. Remember that God provided a ram in the bush to take the sacrificial place of Isaac, right? (Read Genesis 22:1-14 when you have some time.) Well, today I decided to take a closer look at the timing of God as He allowed that ram to show up. Abraham had already built the altar and had laid the wood in order. Then he bound Isaac on the altar on top of the wood, reached out his hand, and took the knife, fully prepared to slaughter his son as a sacrifice to God, yet having faith that he and Isaac would both return from the mountain (see verse 5).
Did you notice that Abraham did all of the work to prepare Isaac to be sacrificed before God showed up with the ram? I mean, have you ever wondered why Abraham didn’t see the ram before he even laid Isaac on the wood? And did you happen to notice that Abraham obeyed God rather than ask Him why he’d been told to sacrifice his son in the first place? Abraham followed the instructions, even to the point of grabbing the knife, and still believed that God would show up. And of course, God did just that!
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.” (Genesis 22:14 AMP)
