The LORD will Provide
Names of God sermon series.
Jehovah Jireh or Yahweh Yireh
“God will provide”
Jehovah Jireh or Yahweh Yireh - The Lord will provide or The Lord will see you through.
The Lord will provide or The Lord will see you through.
Whatever it is that you are asking God to provide for you today, may today’s study remind you that..
Whatever it is that you are asking God to provide for you today, may today’s study remind you that..
The Lord will see you through
He has already seen your need and He can see you through.
The Lord will see you through.
Origin of the word Provision.
The word provision actually came from the root word pre-vision or to foresee.
Provision = Pre-Vision
Last week I talked about how God is the eternally existent One.
The One Who possesses eternal wisdom and knowledge, He knows the end from the beginning, so from God’s vantage point in eternity, to foresee is actually to see from eternity.
As Yahweh, the Great I am Who knows and sees your need beforehand, because He is Holy and righteous, because He is the God of love and redemption.
He makes a provision for your need.
Today we will go to God’s word where we find the name of God “The Lord will Provide” and see one of the great stories ever told from the Old Testament.
The story of when God tested Abraham to sacrifice his son Isaac.
A lot of you know this story and this has registered to many as a story of faith, the faith of Abraham.
Today we will go to God’s word and see one of the greatest stories ever told.
The story of when God tested Abraham to sacrifice his son Isaac.
But as we go through this story today, let me submit to you that it is not so much a story of Abraham’s faith as it is of God’s faithfulness.
Here we will find at the conclusion of this story in that Abraham called the place “The-Lord-Will-Provide” or Yahweh Yireh.
The HERO OF THIS STORY IS GOD.
The key to God’s provision is the word TRUST.
Trust God with everything we have.
Trust Him with our worship.
Trust Him by believing His promise.
Background on Abraham and his son Isaac...
He and Sarah waited for 25 years to have a child.
Genesis 22:1-
God promised that He will be a father of many nations.
God promised someone out of him (Isaac) will be the fulfillment of the promise.
- Test not tempt
We can imagine what it was like for Abraham.
What was he thinking at that moment
God promised that He will be a father of many nations.
God promised someone out of him (Isaac) will be the fulfillment of the promise.
Trust God with everything.
What would our reaction be?
God tested Abraham
- Test not tempt (There is a difference)
Temptation is authored by the devil to set us up for failure.
Testing is authored by God to set us up for success.
Question God, why?
When God does not make sense.
A lot of times when God puts us in a test, it is for the purpose of setting us up or preparing us for something greater.
Maybe after finally receiving the greatest blessing of his life, his son Isaac that Abraham was on a spiritual cruise control and God wanted to challenge him again.
SO God called to him “Abraham”.
This is the 7th time that we know that God spoke to Abraham like any obedient servant, Abraham was ready to respond.
He said “Here I am”.
Then God said “Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you.”
Genesis 22:4
In saying “Take your son, your only son whom you love” God is pointing to the fact that Isaac was everything to Abraham.
How could he not be?
After all Isaac is so far God’s greatest gift to him.
You see, Isaac is not the end of God’s promise but rather he is only the one through whom a greater promise of God will be fulfilled.
From this lesson, we see it is as if God is calling Abraham one more time, lest he love the gift more than the Giver.
It is like God reminding Abraham.
Abraham do you remember what I said when I first spoke to you 40 years ago.
“I am your shield, your exceedingly great reward!”
That was before you had Isaac, where is your heart now?
Isaac was everything to Abraham.
And God knew that if Abraham can give up Isaac for Him.
He can trust Him for everything.
Lesson 1: God wants us trust Him with everything so we can have Him.
- Test not tempt (There is a difference)
What is that thing that we find so hard to entrust to God? Money.
Temptation is a set up for failure.
But God’s testing sets us up for success.
I talked about God testing us but there is an area of our life that God challenged us where we can test him.
That is money, if we trust Him enough to give of our tithes He said this:
I give to God what is truly His because He should be everything to me.
I am already blessed.
Is God everything to us?
I am not implying that our possessions are necessarily bad that we should give them all up.
But if we are not careful, they may end up possessing us!
Trust God with everything.
So what was Abraham’s response?
Genesis 22:
2. Trust God with our worship.
We can imagine what it was like for Abraham.
- We can imagine what it was like for Abraham.
What was he thinking at that moment?
What would our reaction be?
What would our reaction be?
Question God, why?
When God does not make sense.
But Abraham complied, not only did he rise.
But he fully prepared with everything he needed to worship God.
Here are the steps he took:
a) He rose early.
b) he saddled his donkey.
c) He took two of his servants
d) He got Isaac ready
e) He cut the wood for the offering.
Abraham fully prepared to worship God, even though he knew that that act of worship will cost him someone very dear to him.
We see a glimpse of Abraham’s heart of worship to God.
