Man's greatest need: Redemption from sin Eternal salvation God provided Himself

"He that spared not his own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?" Romans 8:32

Think deeply on this. God has already done the best, the biggest, the most stupendous job of providing. Is there anything in our paltry, insignificant little lives that would be beyond the scope of His providing? NO! He is Jehovah Jireh When you or I are walking on a lonely, devastating path through life, where it seems our hopes and dreams are being taken away from us, where our needs are so pressing and urgent, it is very difficult for us to believe that the Lord is Jehovah Jireh. It is very difficult to believe that the Lord will provide. But, whether we believe it or not, He IS Jehovah Jireh! And amazingly enough, the Lord knows exactly what and when to provide!

Can you imagine Abraham's trip up to the mountain to sacrifice his son?  They saddle up their donkey and begin their journey to the mountain.  Scripture says that on the third day of the journey, Abraham finally sees the place of sacrifice in the distance. Three days is a long time to think about nothing else than sacrificing your son. Slowly they walk up the mountain.  Isaac asks, "Where is the lamb?"  Abraham's response is 'God will provide'. You see, before Abraham was delivered from this situation, he believed that the Lord was Jehovah Jireh. When God provided for Abraham on that day, Abraham didn't focus on the problem or the trial or the fear, he focused on the fact that he knew God would provide.  Why did God deliver Abraham on that day? When his knife was raised high in the air  ready to sacrifice his son, was it a sudden whim on Abraham's part to start believing that the Lord would provide? No!  He believed it all along!

You will face trying situations down the road of your life.  And the outcome of those situations will be determined on what you believe today. Don't wait until you face your mountain to start believing that He is your provider, believe it today!

The altar is here and now. This is the place where you and I can come and trust in the Lord to be our Provider. If you have a financial need, remember, it's time to trust in Jehovah Jireh. If you need restoration, remember that there is nothing beyond His capability. If you need love, the Lord will give it to you. If you need your sins to be forgiven, guess what? God has provided a Lamb! And His name is Jesus Christ. He not only knows what your need is, but He can meet it. He IS Jehovah Jireh, and there is nothing that He cannot provide for you.

He is Jehovah Jireh He will supply all your needs He is never late He never forgets He never fails
