I want to take a look at Yahweh Jireh, the LORD will provide. In Genesis 22 God reveals another name that reveals more of HIS nature to HIS children. I hope you understand that with each name we are only looking at the tip of the iceberg! The further I go into this study of the names of God the more I am filled with awe and wonder at I gaze upon HIS majesty, HIS glory, HIS power, HIS mercy, grace, faithfulness and love. This awe striking God invites us to know HIM as Father!
In the text it is LORD, it is Yahweh Jireh! Have you ever considered that Yahweh, I AM WHO I AM, simply is! Remember HE is the one who was, is and is to come! What does that mean? It means that Yahweh is omnipresent in SPACE AND TIME...yes, space and TIME! So Yahweh, the ONE WHO IS...Jireh...Jireh simply means "to see." To God the past, present and future simply are HE sees and experiences and acts in space and time, but HE alone transcends space and time.
Why is this important? HE perfectly sees every need you will ever have and has provided for you perfectly...not according to your wants:) but according to your needs. Most striking and majestic is that HE saw and your need and my need for salvation and made provision by sending HIS Son to take my place and your place on the CROSS.
For a moment put yourself in Abraham's place and imagine the journey to the mountain, imagine kissing your wife good bye, imagine your heart swelling with emotions every you look at the face of YOUR son knowing what is ahead, imagine you are prepared to sacrifice the child you desperately love as an act of obedience and the moment you begin to slash the throat of your child God reveals HIMSELF to you as Yahweh Jireh and provides a substitute for your child. How deep, how passionate will your love for Yahweh Jireh be? How will that revelation impact the rest of your life as you walk with this great God?
As you watch the video below put yourself in Abraham's place...experience the joy of seeing the provision of the LORD! God has done this for each of HIS children...HOLY IS THE LORD!
Each of us is called to walk in obedience to God's Word...we may not see God's provision, but we are not called to see, we are called to walk by faith in obedience to our heavenly Father WHO SEES EVERYTHING PERFECTLY BEFORE HAND!
Gen 22:1-18 After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, “Abraham!” “Here I am,” he answered. 2 “Take your son,” He said, “your only ⌊son⌋ Isaac, whom you love, go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains I will tell you about.” 
3 So early in the morning Abraham got up, saddled his donkey, and took with him two of his young men and his son Isaac. He split wood for a burnt offering and set out to go to the place God had told him about. 4 On the third day Abraham looked up and saw the place in the distance. 5 Then Abraham said to his young men, “Stay here with the donkey. The boy and I will go over there to worship; then we’ll come back to you.” 6 Abraham took the wood for the burnt offering and laid it on his son Isaac. In his hand he took the fire and the sacrificial knife, and the two of them walked on together.
7 Then Isaac spoke to his father Abraham and said, “My father.” And he replied, “Here I am, my son.” Isaac said, “The fire and the wood are here, but where is the lamb for the burnt offering?” 8 Abraham answered, “God Himself will provide the lamb for the burnt offering, my son.” Then the two of them walked on together. 9 When they arrived at the place that God had told him about, Abraham built the altar there and arranged the wood. He bound his son Isaac and placed him on the altar, on top of the wood. 10 Then Abraham reached out and took the knife to slaughter his son.
11 But the Angel of the Lord called to him from heaven and said, “Abraham, Abraham!” He replied, “Here I am.”
12 Then He said, “Do not lay a hand on the boy or do anything to him. For now I know that you fear God, since you have not withheld your only son from Me.” 13 Abraham looked up and saw a ram caught by its horns in the thicket. So Abraham went and took the ram and offered it as a burnt offering in place of his son. 14 And Abraham named that place The LORD Will Provide, so today it is said: “It will be provided on the LORD’s mountain.”
15 Then the Angel of the Lord called to Abraham a second time from heaven 16 and said, “By Myself I have sworn, says the Lord: Because you have done this thing and have not withheld your only son, 17 I will indeed bless you and make your offspring as numerous as the stars in the sky and the sand on the seashore. Your offspring will possess the gates of their enemies. 18 And all the nations of the earth will be blessed by your offspring because you have obeyed My command.”
Let's Worship the LORD GOD our provider for the breathtaking provision of HIS Son, Jesus Christ!
