Podcasts about jehovah jireh

It's almost become a gag line; it expresses the attitude of an employee who just wants to meet the bare minimums of their job. You ask them a question, ask them to do some small task; kind of shrugs his shoulders, puts his hands in the air and says, "Not my job!" Well, that can be a lazy response or maybe a wise one in some cases. For example, if you ask me to repair your car, I probably should say, "It's not my job." Or if you ask the local mechanic to take care of your toothache, it would be good if he said, "It's not my job." Or if you ask your dentist to program your computer, it would probably be good for him to say, "It's not my job." See, you really shouldn't be working out of what really isn't your job and you don't know how to do it anyway. I'm Ron Hutchcraft and I want to have A Word With You today about "Trying to Do God's Job." Our word for today from the Word of God is Psalm 84:11, "For the Lord God is a sun and a shield. The Lord bestows favor and honor. No good thing does He withhold from them whose walk is blameless." Wow, that's a great promise, isn't it? No good thing... Any good thing; anything that's really good for you, He will never withhold if your walk is blameless. And, of course, He's the one who defines what's good for us, because He knows best. What's interesting about this verse is that it tells you three responsibilities that are not your job. "It's not my job!" Number one it's not your job to provide. It says here, "The Lord bestows favor." God gives you what you need. Jesus told us in the Sermon on the Mount, "Don't go chasing after food and clothing like the rest of the world does, because your Father knows what you have need of. You seek the kingdom of God and all the things will be taken care of." You lose a lot of peace worrying about where the dollars are going to come from, the transportation, the resources. Three times in that passage Jesus told us, "Don't worry! Don't worry!" They're going to come from your Jehovah Jireh - the Lord who provides. He will take care of it. Although He expects us to work, ultimately the provision of your needs is not your job, but your God. Secondly, protecting is not your job. It says, "The Lord is your shield." We waste a lot of effort defending our position, trying to look good, answering criticism from people, trying to protect our spot, fearing injury, fearing disappointment. What are you doing to just try to protect yourself? The Lord is your shield. It's not your job. Then it's also not your job to promote. It says, "The Lord gives honor to people." Quit trying to get the spotlight for yourself; God exalts people. What are you doing trying to promote yourself? So, what is your job? Well, it says, "He does this for those whose walk is blameless." Your job is your walk. You're supposed to concentrate on cleaning up your walk with God, getting rid of those traits that displease Him and that bring criticism from others. Your job is to focus on spending time with your Lord - treating people as your Lord does, eliminating those stubborn sins that you tolerate rather than eliminate. God's job is to provide your needs, to protect you from hurt, and to promote you to positions that He chooses. I wonder, have you been trying to do one of His jobs? Why don't you concentrate on your own? Concentrate on the purity of your walk, and God will keep His promise, "No good thing will He withhold from those whose walk is blameless."

Genesis does not ask, "where is the money?" Or even "where is the healing?" Isaac asked one question: "where is the lamb?" That question becomes the burden of the entire Bible. Every page moves history toward one answer - not the provision of things, but the provision of a person. Whenever our greatest pursuit becomes something other than CHRiSt, we have begun asking a question scripture was never trying to answer.

Some mornings don't need more noise, they need one clear truth you can carry. Today we build that truth around a worship classic that's helped me more times than I can count: Vicky Yohe's “Because of Who You Are.” It's a five-minute start to your day, but it's also a small, steady reminder that God hasn't changed, and His names still speak.We slow down and unpack three powerful Old Testament names of God the song points to: Jehovah Jireh, Jehovah Nisi, and Jehovah Shalom. You'll hear what each name means, where it shows up in Scripture, and why it matters beyond the page. Jehovah Jireh takes us to Genesis 22 and the God who provides. Jehovah Nisi leads us to Exodus 17 and the God who is our banner and refuge when the fight is bigger than us. Jehovah Shalom brings us to Judges 6 and the God who gives peace even when everything around you argues you shouldn't have it.I also share why these names are more than poetic titles, they are windows into God's character, His strength, His promises, and His care for His people. At the end, I leave you with a short clip of the song and a simple next step: grab the YouTube link in the show notes and listen to the full track (fair warning, it may get stuck in your head). If this encourages you, subscribe, share it with a friend who needs peace, and leave a quick review so more people can start their day right.Here is the YouTube link to Because of Who You Are                                                                                         https://youtu.be/C6WexG9uAJI?si=v_qMXREFfJtMigpN                    Check out this powerful version of Because of Who You Arehttps://youtu.be/vsZWUWDZN3A?si=HYYFOACnIhvIDKb6We would love to hear your comments.

In this talk Abi and Nathan explore the name "Jehovah Jireh" and show us through different passages (including Genesis 22, Exodus 16 and John 6) how this name helps us discover more of who God is. The Names of God series explores the multifaceted character of God by examining the various names He reveals about Himself throughout the Bible. There are 3 aspects: God in the Old Testament revealing Himself, God in the New Testament inviting us to have a relationship with Him and God within us guiding us through life. This summer series aims to move beyond mere knowledge about God to a deeper, more personal relationship with Him.

Abraham learned something special about God on that mountain.

Jehovah Jireh - Speak The Name - 08/02/2026 by Chase Holsomback

Weekly sermons from City Lights Church based in Greeley Colorado. Featuring head Pastor Kurt Chamberlain and other guest speakers.

The Logos Hope team share a service centred on the power, authority and honour of the name of Jesus. The team begin by introducing themselves and the work of OM's Logos Hope. Bauka, from Kazakhstan, explains that although the team come from different countries, the focus is not on flags or national identity, but on introducing people to Jesus. He also asks the church to pray for Kazakhstan, where evangelical Christians are a very small minority. Anne Marie then shares a short testimony using the illustration of fleas in a jar. When a lid is placed on the jar, the fleas learn to jump only so high; even when the lid is removed, they keep living as though they are still restricted. She connects this to Ephesians 4, encouraging people not to live trapped by past hurt, fear or limitation, but to walk freely in the calling God has given them through Christ. Gloria's main message focuses on God's name. She begins by asking people to think about the name of someone they love, showing that a name is not just a sound or label — it represents the person. In the same way, God's name reveals his character, authority and presence. She teaches from the third commandment, warning against taking God's name in vain. This does not only mean using God's name as a swear word; it means treating his name as empty, casual or powerless. Gloria challenges the church not to reduce God's name to everyday slang, but to recover reverence for the name of the Lord. She then explains that God revealed himself to Moses as "I am who I am", showing that God is self-existent, unchanging and unlike any human being. In the New Testament, this power and revelation are fully seen in Jesus Christ. Gloria points to passages such as Acts 4:12, Philippians 2:9–11, Romans 10:13 and Proverbs 18:10, showing that salvation, help, deliverance and refuge are found in the name of the Lord. Gloria walks through several names of God, including El Elyon, El Shaddai, Jehovah Jireh, Jehovah Shalom, Jehovah Rapha, Jehovah Nissi, Jehovah Rohi and others. Each name reveals something of God's character: provider, healer, peace, shepherd, righteousness, sanctifier, restorer and Lord of hosts. Her main challenge is that believers should honour the name of God, call on him with faith, and trust that the power in the name of Jesus is still active today. The sermon closes with declarations over the names of God and a call to live with renewed confidence, reverence and dependence on Jesus. 0:00 Logos Hope Team Introduction 0:27 Bauka from Kazakhstan 2:01 Praying for Kazakhstan 2:36 Anne Marie's Testimony 3:13 The Fleas in the Jar Illustration 4:12 Living Worthy of God's Calling 5:47 Gloria Begins: The Name of God 9:35 Why Names Matter 12:35 Do Not Take God's Name in Vain 17:25 The Name Above Every Name 20:38 Calling on the Name of the Lord 24:25 The Names of God 29:36 Declarations Over God's Names 36:57 Closing Challenge and Response

The sermon explores the theological depth of Genesis 22, using the metaphor of an acorn growing into an oak tree to explain how foundational biblical patterns reveal God's ultimate plan. It identifies key themes such as sacrificial love, substitutionary atonement, and divine provision, linking Abraham's obedience and the binding of Isaac to Christ's future sacrifice. The preacher emphasizes that genealogies are not mere lists but strategic introductions to major events, demonstrating God's sovereignty in preparing blessings before they are needed. By examining the connection between Abraham's family line and Isaac's wife Rebekah, the text illustrates that God orchestrates history with precise timing and care. The message concludes by urging listeners to trust in God's foresight and to recognize Jesus Christ as the ultimate provision for sin. What does the sovereignty of God actually mean? How does God work behind the scenes in our lives? Is God already preparing answers before we pray? Does God provide for our needs before we know we have them? How can I trust God when I don't understand what He's doing? Does God plan our future ahead of time? Why does Genesis 22 end with a genealogy? Why is Rebekah introduced before she appears in the story? Why are genealogies important in the Bible? Are genealogies preparing us for major events? Why does God include so many names in Scripture? Why does God repeat patterns throughout the Bible? How do Old Testament events point to Jesus? What is the significance of first mentions in Scripture? Why is Abraham and Isaac a picture of Christ? What does Jehovah-Jireh really mean? Does God still value physical family?

Have you ever considered that not believing in Jesus as the God of abundance is misrepresenting Him? Join the discussion as we delve into the truth of God's desire for us to experience His overflowing provision.

The sermon explores Genesis 22 as a divine pattern designed to foreshadow the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, emphasizing that God built human brains for pattern recognition to help believers perceive deeper theological truths. By analyzing specific parallels between Abraham's offering of Isaac and the New Testament narrative, such as the willing son, the substitutionary ram, and the three-day journey, the text illustrates how Old Testament events serve as prophetic shadows of the Gospel. The preacher argues that these intricate designs awaken spiritual awareness, revealing God's sovereignty and His provision of a Savior through Jehovah Jireh. Ultimately, the message calls listeners to active faith and obedient worship, urging them to recognize God's redemptive plan in Scripture and apply it to their daily lives. Why do many call Genesis 22 the highest peak in the Old Testament? Why did God test Abraham by asking him to sacrifice Isaac? Was Isaac a young child or a grown man? How old was Isaac during Genesis 22? Why is Genesis 22 considered the greatest picture of Jesus Christ in the Old Testament? What similarities exist between Isaac and Jesus? Why is Mount Moriah so significant? Did Abraham expect God to raise Isaac from the dead? What does Hebrews 11 reveal about Abraham's faith? Why are the "three days" important in Genesis 22? Why did Isaac willingly submit to his father? What does the ram caught in the thicket represent? What does "Jehovah-Jireh" mean? Why does the King James Version say, "God will provide Himself a lamb"? What is the significance of the first mention of love in Scripture? Why is the first mention of worship so important? What is the lamb important?

Abraham waited twenty-five years for the fulfillment of God's promise of a son. And then, after that miraculous birth, God asked him to give Isaac back — to take him to Mount Moriah and offer him as a sacrifice. Abraham obeyed. And at the moment the knife was raised, God provided a ram caught in the thicket, sparing Isaac's life and revealing His name: Jehovah Jireh, the Lord Who Provides. It is one of Scripture's most dramatic and tender moments, and it carries a truth that reaches far beyond financial provision into every corner of human need. Jehovah Jireh provides vehicles, homes, spouses, friends, babies, jobs, purpose, and direction. But He also provides peace in the storm, comfort in grief, and sustenance when we have hit rock bottom. The Lord runs short of nothing. And even when what we are asking for is not in His will, He is still providing — just not always in the form we expected or on the timeline we were watching. A wedding toast offered a simple and striking observation: the Lord was not looking at His watch the way everyone else was. There is a time for everything, and His timing is always perfect. Most profoundly of all, before He ever provided anything else, God the Father provided a way back to Himself through Jesus Christ — the ultimate fulfillment of the ram on Mount Moriah, the perfect sacrifice who took our place on that same mountain two thousand years later. Today's Bible Verse "And Abraham called the name of the place, The-Lord-Will-Provide; as it is said to this day, 'In the Mount of The Lord it shall be provided.'"— Genesis 22:14, NKJV Ponder Today Jehovah Jireh provides far more than financial needs. His provision encompasses every dimension of human life — relationships, purpose, direction, peace, comfort, and strength. Whatever you are lacking today, He is able to supply it. When God does not provide what we ask for, He still provides what we need. Peace in the storm, comfort in grief, and sustenance at rock bottom are all forms of His provision. He never leaves a need unmet, even when His answer looks different from what we expected. God is not looking at His watch the way we are. His timing is not late, even when it feels that way to us. Ecclesiastes 3 reminds us that there is a time for everything — and the moment God chooses to provide is always the right moment. Jesus is the ultimate fulfillment of Jehovah Jireh. Just as the ram took Isaac's place on Mount Moriah, Jesus took ours on that same mountain two thousand years later. If God the Father never did anything else for us, sending His Son would have been enough. Ask God to open your eyes to provision you have already received. We often focus on what we are still waiting for and miss what God has already given. Recognizing His past provision builds the trust that carries us through the current season of waiting. A Prayer for You Today Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for who You are — for always being all that we need and always having all that we need. I do not know what each person needs today, but You do. If they are weary, please give them endurance and encouragement. If they are downcast, please lift their head. If they are waiting, please give them joy in the midst of it. If they are grieving, be their comfort. If they are in a storm, please give them Your peace. If they are short on funds, please provide. Please help us to know You and see You as Jehovah Jireh, and open our eyes to see how You have already been providing all along. Thank You for providing salvation to all who confess with their mouth and believe in their hearts that Jesus is Lord. We love You. Help us to trust in You. Amen.

When we study the names of God, we must understand that they describe His character. Since the names of God declare His attributes, we are not surprised that the revelation of God's wisdom and grace in Abraham's near-sacrifice of his son brings with it another of God's names: Jehovah Jireh, which means "the Lord will provide." Genesis 22 records the greatest test that Abraham ever faced. It also presents a beautiful picture of our Lord's sacrifice at Calvary. God tested Abraham's faith.

Jehovah - Jireh // Hello, My Name Is ________ // John Isemann by Sunday Podcast

This sermon examines Abraham's test in Genesis 22, highlighting his remarkable faith as he prepares to sacrifice Isaac. The preacher explains that trials serve to purify believers and strengthen their trust in God's promises despite apparent contradictions. By analyzing Hebrews 11, the text reveals that Abraham believed God could raise Isaac from the dead, demonstrating a faith that outweighs natural inclination. The narrative is presented as a parable foreshadowing the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus Christ and His resurrection. Ultimately, the message encourages believers to trust in Jehovah Jireh, the Lord who provides, through all life's difficulties.

Don't miss this special program exploring two powerful Names of God, the blessing of knowing Jehovah Jireh, our Provider, and the confidence of our right standing with God through Jehovah Tsidkenu. Join Marilyn and Isabell for this inspiring teaching.

What happens when God asks you to lay down the very thing you love the most? Whether it's a career path, a hard-earned identity, or a relationship, true provision always meets us at the intersection of absolute surrender. In this special episode of ComTalk, Dallas takes us behind the scenes of his pastoral life to share a raw, live message he recently delivered following an incredible week at youth camp. Diving deep into Genesis 22, Dallas dismantles the traditional Sunday-school assumptions surrounding Abraham and Isaac. By examining the visceral reality of a 37-year-old Isaac willingly carrying the means of his own demise, this message challenges us to look honestly at our lives: Are we building walls of isolation out of fear, or are we ready to experience the true meaning of Jehovah Jireh? Whether you are a lifelong believer looking for a deeper theological shift, or someone wrestling with fear and the pressures of modern success, this episode will challenge you to step out from behind your walls and discover what God has already provided on the mountain. ✨ SUPPORT THE MINISTRY Our passion is letting geeks know they are loved, and we can't do this without our incredible community.

In this sermon we explore where the feeding of the 4000 took place and how it shows that Jesus is Jehovah Jireh. It challenges us to trust Jesus for all our needs but especially our spiritual hunger and thirst.

The first time I ever heard the word tithing, I watched a guest preacher publicly shame two guys at the altar of a small Florida church for not doing it consistently. They walked back to their seats with their heads down. I never forgot it. Linda has a different shame story — quiet, private, ten years long, all over a single tithe she felt led to give to friends going on a mission trip instead of her local church. Two completely different shame stories, same root system. Both deadly to generosity. In this episode, we finally do the conversation we've sidestepped for almost two decades. We get into the difference between condemnation and conviction, why we treat tithing the same way we treat Sabbath, and the moment we corrected our giving and got a raise the very next day that exactly covered the gap. This is not a shame episode. It's not a license episode either. It's where we've actually landed. And If you enjoyed this, we'd love to send you a free copy of our book — you just cover shipping.

Picture a cowboy riding away from you — tall in the saddle, but his shoulders are down and his jaw is set, the weight of the world on him. He’s leaving the place where his dream died. That’s two men on the road to Emmaus, three days after the cross… and the risen Jesus rides up alongside them, and they don’t know it’s Him. In Week 8 of The Story of God, Kevin Weatherby opens Luke 24 and walks the whole arc of Scripture the way Jesus did on that seven-mile road — Genesis 22, Isaiah 61, and Psalm 22 — landing on the one truth that changes everything: you don’t have to see it to believe it, but you’ve got to believe it before you’ll ever see it. In this message: Why God shut their eyes on purpose, and what that says about the seasons you can’t see Him working How Abraham, Isaac, and “the Lord will provide” (Jehovah Jireh) were pointing at the cross 2,000 years early What Isaiah 61 says Jesus came to do — and what Psalm 22 says it cost Him The one thing the blood of Christ will not cover Why faith means saddling up and riding the way God said before you can see where the trail goes Scripture: Luke 24:13–45 · Genesis 22:8 · Isaiah 61:1–2 · Luke 4:21 · Psalm 22:1 · 1 Corinthians 15:20 (NLT; Psalm 22 NIV) Grab the free 5-day Bible study, “Jesus in the Old Testament”: download here.

This week, Lynn Swart shares a message from Genesis 22:1–18 titled "How's Your Posture?" Drawing from the story of Abraham and Isaac on Mount Moriah, Lynn invites the congregation to examine the inward disposition of their hearts — not just what they believe, but how they are standing before God in this season.Lynn walks through the narrative of Abraham's supreme test with careful attention to its spiritual mechanics. She identifies three interlocking postures that defined Abraham's obedience: reverence for God, confidence in God's faithfulness, and wholehearted surrender — noting that Abraham's response was prompt, complete, and without hesitation. From there, Lynn unpacks the significance of the three-day journey to Moriah, the weight of leaving the servants at the base of the mountain, and Isaac's trust as his father lifted the knife. She draws a striking prophetic thread from Abraham's declaration — "God himself will provide the lamb" — straight to Calvary, and from Jehovah Jireh straight to the present: on the mountain of the Lord, it will be provided. Lynn closes the sermon by calling the church to examine where they may have settled for delayed, partial, or murmuring obedience, and to posture themselves for what God is doing next.The sermon's theological anchor is the inseparability of posture and promise. Lynn makes clear that promise is not inherited casually — it is entered intentionally, through the surrendered posture of a heart that says yes before it understands. As she puts it, every decision determines the direction we walk and the destiny we reach. Abraham descended the mountain not with less than he had carried up, but with more — revelation, provision, and a deeper knowledge of his God.Ultimately, this message is an invitation to examine the posture of your own heart before the Lord. Are you responding to what God is saying with a "Yes, Lord" — or hedging, delaying, or holding something back from the altar? Lynn calls each listener to a holy surrender: not driven by emotion, but by conviction that on the mountain of the Lord, whatever is needed will be found.

Pastor Sam Rainer preaches a series about God's names in the Bible. This sermon examines the name Jehovah Jireh, meaning “the Lord will provide.” Through the story of Abraham and Isaac, we learn God always provides through our willingness to sacrifice for Him. And sometimes God reveals solutions only after we obey Him.

This week's teaching explored Jehovah Jireh, “The Lord Will Provide,” through Abraham's willingness to trust God even when he couldn't see the outcome. We were reminded that God often tests what we treasure most, not to harm us, but to reveal whether He truly holds first place in our hearts. Just as God provided a substitute for Isaac, He ultimately provided Jesus to meet our greatest need—forgiveness and reconciliation with Him—giving us confidence to trust Him with every other need we face.

The David Alliance TDAgiantSlayer@Gmail.com Garth Heckman VERY FAMILIAR STORY -   *TIED TO MY NOTES TODAY   THE BUILD UP and DEMISE OF ISRAEL    THE PEOPLE WANTED A MAN OVER GOD (They wanted a King)… Here is an old quote: when more than one votes… you can assure its the wrong decision. It wasn't a King that was truly the problem -  BUT RATHER following a man, that was the problem. It was the peoples desire to follow a King over a prophet who followed God.      ***No one voted a prophet in.         ****People choose a King, God chooses a prophet.    Saul offers false sacrifices Saul chooses to disobey Gods orders to wipe out the Amakalites  Saul becomes erratic and tormented by demonic spirits  Saul now operates out of fear  *Israel and the army now saw their enemies the way their leader did - IN FEAR.   The battle of David and Goliath was never really about David and Goliath. It was the culmination of Israel's spiritual decline under Saul, and the first visible sign that God had already been at work preparing a different kind of leader — one after His own heart.       1 Samuel 17 41 Goliath walked out toward David with his shield bearer ahead of him, 42 sneering in contempt at this ruddy-faced boy. 43 “Am I a dog,” he roared at David, “that you come at me with a stick?” And he cursed David by the names of his gods. 44 “Come over here, and I'll give your flesh to the birds and wild animals!” Goliath yelled. 45 David replied to the Philistine, “You come to me with sword, spear, and javelin, but I come to you in the name of the Lord of Heaven's Armies—the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied. 46 Today the Lord will conquer you, and I will kill you and cut off your head. And then I will give the dead bodies of your men to the birds and wild animals, and the whole world will know that there is a God in Israel! 47 And everyone assembled here will know that the Lord rescues his people, but not with sword and spear. This is the Lord's battle, and he will give you to us!”     David's arrival on the battlefield was jarring precisely because of the contrast. He was young, unarmored, and inexperienced — but he carried something the entire army had lost: a reference point for who God was.         David doesn't call out the enemy, he calls out his tactics… His weapons of choice.  WHY?      In 1 Samuel 17:45, David identifies a three-fold physical threat.  In John 10:10, Jesus identifies a three-fold spiritual threat. They map onto each other in a way that shows how the enemy operates:   | Goliath's Arsenal (1 Samuel 17:45) | The Thief's Mission (John 10:10) | The Spiritual Parallel    -  The Sword.  |  To Steal   | Goliath relied on his sword to strip Israel of their land, their freedom, and their identity. The enemy wants to rob you of your peace and purpose.    The Spear.  |   To Kill | A spear is designed for a direct, fatal strike. Goliath's   Literal goal was to end David's life; the thief's goal is total spiritual death.   The Javelin   |   To Destroy   |  A javelin is thrown from a distance, bringing unexpected, widespread ruin. The enemy aims for complete devastation of your life and relationships.    The Core Contrast: Flesh vs. Spirit The real tie-in between these two passages is the **source of victory** that both David and Jesus point to. Both stories set up a stark contrast between reliance on worldly power and reliance on divine power.    * **David's Answer:** Right after naming Goliath's weapons, David says, *"But I come to you in the name of the Lord of Hosts."* He acknowledges the physical threat but completely bypasses it by relying on God's authority.    * **Jesus' Answer:** Right after naming the thief's three-fold threat, Jesus says, *"I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly."*     Bears and Lions can't call you out. They can't mock you, cast verbal jabs and doubt at you.      Historical Context His defiance of Israel's armies was also a taunt against their God. Your problems, issues, fears, is a taunt against God!   Goliath's relys on human technology, political position and physical power.   David invokes God's character and power, not his own resources. This echoes the idea that God's name represents His active intervention (similar to Exodus 3 or the Psalms).     It wasn't the weapon David had it was the Worship.  Slingers were common;   -  Tribe of Benjamin 700 warriors ambidextrous        -    Sling a stone up to 95 MPH              -   At over 200 yards…  They were so confident they would inscribe words on their stones… MINE WOULD BE “ROCK ON”      David contrasts Goliath's weapons with the invisible but superior heavenly host. This title appears frequently in prophetic books but here underscores early recognition of God's military sovereignty. "Whom you have defied [cheraf-ta]": The verb charaf means to reproach, taunt, or blaspheme. Goliath's challenge is personal against Israel's God, making this a theological battle, not just military. YOUR PROBLEMS ARE A THEOLOGICAL PROBLEM…  i.e. Your problems are a “who is your God Problem”       Do you know who my father is?   - a. No   - b. Yes and I don't care   - c. Yes and I will leave you alone BUT WHAT IF THE QUESTION WAS THIS IN THAT SITUATION… “I wonder who my father is?”     Jehovah Jireh (יְהוָה יִרְאֶה) "The LORD will provide" — revealed when God provided a ram as Abraham was about to sacrifice Isaac. Genesis 22:14. Jehovah Rapha (יְהוָה רָפָא) "The LORD who heals" — revealed after God sweetened the bitter waters of Marah for Israel in the wilderness. Exodus 15:26. Covers physical, emotional, and spiritual healing. Jehovah Nissi (יְהוָה נִסִּי) "The LORD is my banner" — declared by Moses after Israel's victory over the Amalekites. A banner was a military standard — the rallying point in battle. Exodus 17:15. God Himself is the flag Israel fights under. Jehovah Shalom (יְהוָה שָׁלוֹם) "The LORD is peace" — spoken by Gideon after encountering the angel of the Lord and fearing he would die. Shalom is not just the absence of conflict but wholeness, completeness, and flourishing. Judges 6:24. Jehovah Rohi (יְהוָה רֹעִי) "The LORD is my shepherd" — the opening of Psalm 23. One of the most intimate names — depicting God as the one who leads, feeds, protects, and restores. Jehovah Tsidkenu (יְהוָה צִדְקֵנוּ) "The LORD our righteousness" — a prophetic name pointing to the coming Messiah who would be the righteousness of His people. Jeremiah 23:6. Deeply connected to the New Testament doctrine of justification. Jehovah Shammah (יְהוָה שָׁמָּה) "The LORD is there" — the name given to the restored Jerusalem in Ezekiel's vision. Ezekiel 48:35. God's presence dwelling permanently with His people — echoed in Revelation 21 with the New Jerusalem. Jehovah Sabaoth (יְהוָה צְבָאוֹת) "The LORD of Hosts" or "The LORD of Armies" — one of the most frequently used names in the prophets. It pictures God as the commander of vast heavenly armies. Used powerfully in Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Malachi. Jehovah Mekoddishkem (יְהוָה מְקַדִּשְׁכֶם) "The LORD who sanctifies you" — Exodus 31:13. God as the one who sets His people apart and makes them holy. Sanctification as His work, not ours alone. Jehovah Gmolah (יְהוָה גְּמֻלּוֹת) "The LORD of recompense" or "The God of vengeance" — Jeremiah 51:56. God as the one who repays — both in justice against enemies and in vindication of His people.   The Compound El Names El Shaddai (אֵל שַׁדַּי) "God Almighty" or literally "God of the mountains" or "the all-sufficient one." First used with Abraham in Genesis 17:1 when God renewed His covenant. It speaks of God's absolute sufficiency — He is enough for every need. El Elyon (אֵל עֶלְיוֹן) "God Most High" — used by Melchizedek blessing Abraham in Genesis 14. It emphasizes God's supremacy above all other powers, rulers, and so-called gods. El Olam (אֵל עוֹלָם) "The Everlasting God" or "God of eternity" — Genesis 21:33. He has no beginning and no end. Time exists within Him, not the other way around. El Roi (אֵל רֳאִי) "The God who sees me" — spoken by Hagar in the wilderness after she fled from Sarah. Genesis 16:13. One of the most tender names — God seeing the forgotten, the marginalized, the one who thinks they are invisible. El Gibhor (אֵל גִּבּוֹר) "Mighty God" — Isaiah 9:6, in the famous messianic prophecy. One of the titles given to the coming Messiah — pointing directly to Christ. El Hannun (אֵל חַנּוּן) "The gracious God" — Nehemiah 9:31. God whose grace prevents Him from completely destroying even a rebellious people.   New Testament  Abba (אַבָּא) "Father" — an Aramaic term of deep intimacy, closer to "Daddy" than formal address. Jesus used it in Gethsemane. Paul says believers are given the Spirit of adoption by which they cry "Abba, Father." Romans 8:15. Emmanuel (עִמָּנוּאֵל) "God with us" — Isaiah 7:14, fulfilled in Matthew 1:23 with the birth of Jesus. Perhaps the most staggering name of all — the eternal God choosing to be with humanity in flesh.     Why This Matters Each name was not invented by theologians — it was revealed in a moment.  God didn't introduce Himself as Jehovah Rapha in a lecture. He revealed it when Israel was thirsty and the water was bitter. He revealed Jehovah Jireh when a father was about to lose his son on an altar. The pattern is consistent throughout Scripture: Every name of God was born out of a human crisis that God personally entered. That means the names are not just theological categories — they are a record of God showing up. And for anyone studying or teaching these names, the invitation is not just to know them but to discover which name corresponds to the specific place of need you are standing in right now.       Lets end on this:  1 Sam. 17:40 40 He picked up five smooth stones from a stream and put them into his shepherd's bag. Then, armed only with his shepherd's staff and sling, he started across the valley to fight the Philistine. WHY FIVE STONES? Because Goliath had 4 brothers!  Ishbi-Benob, Saph, Lahmi AND SIX FINGER FRANK     …THERE WILL ALWAYS BE GIANTS… But who is your God? He is the one who crushed satans head and gives us the victory!    CALL ON HIS NAME AND HE SHALL ANSWER.

Do you have to pray to the right name of God for Him to hear you?Jehovah-Jireh for provision. Jehovah-Rapha for healing. Father for forgiveness. Spirit for help.Does God care more about formality when you pray? Or does He just want to talk to you?P.S. A bird also joined us this week. Justin may or may still be trying to find it.

Daily Dose of Hope May 15, 2026   Name of God:  Jehovah Jireh – The Lord Will Provide Scripture:  Genesis 22:8, Romans 8:32, Philippians 4:19, Matthew 6:25-34   Prayer:  Lord, You are Jehovah Jireh, my Provider. I come to You in Jesus' name, acknowledging that You know every need I have today, even before I ask.  Jehovah Jireh, I confess that I sometimes fear when I cannot see the way, but I choose to trust in Your faithfulness. I ask that You provide for me—not just for my wants, but for all my needs, according to Your glorious riches. Amen.   Welcome back to the Daily Dose of Hope, the devotional and podcast that complements the New Hope Church daily Bible reading plan.  We are currently walking through the names of God in the Old Testament.  Remember, names in the ancient world held much significance, indicating both character traits and purpose.  The same was true for God's names.  Each divine name gives us a glimpse at an aspect of God's character. Today's divine name is Jehovah Jireh.  In Hebrew, the word Jireh means to see or to provide.  Jehovah means YHWH in English.  Thus, Jehovah Jireh is the God who provides.  But this isn't a passive providing.  Jehovah Jireh is active, He sees and acts, all in the right timing. We see this in our first Scripture for today, Genesis 22:8.  Abraham was about to sacrifice his son in obedience to God, but God steps in and provides a ram caught in a thicket.  Thus, Abraham names that place YHWH Jireh (Jehovah Jireh), saying "On the mountain of the Lord it will be provided."    In Matthew 6 (the Sermon of the Mount), Jesus tells us not to worry.  He mentions how Jehovah Jireh provides for the birds of the air.  "Are you not much more valuable than they?" God is a God who provides for his creation, including us.  Sometimes, God doesn't give us what we think we need.  But He provides us with His presence, His love, and His strength.  Please know that whatever challenge and hardship you are facing, Jehovah Jireh sees you and is actively working to provide for you in ways you might not be able to see.  He will provide, in His way, in His time.  The question is – can we trust Him to do it? Blessings, Pastor Vicki

In Genesis 22, Abraham has a personal encounter with God and he walks away with a personal name for him – Jehovah Jireh. If you have a pressing need and you don't know how it will happen for you, Jehovah Jireh is the name of God you can call on. If you're walking in the middle of a situation where you don't have what is required and you don't know how you ever will, Jehovah Jireh is the name of God you can call on. If you don't know how to give what is being asked of you, Jehovah Jireh is the name of God you can call on. Jehovah + Jireh. Two names together that radically change everything. Jehovah is a translation of the name of God in our breath. This is YHWH, the LORD who has made a personal covenant with his people. Jehovah is the one who has made promises and will be faithful to his promises. When Abraham uses the name Jehovah, he's not just talking about “a god” – he's referring to the personal, covenant-keeping God he knew he could trust in. Jireh comes from the Hebrew word “ra'ah” which means to see, to perceive, and to provide. It's a word that means seeing a need is connected to acting on that need. When you put Jehovah and Jireh together, it means, “The Lord will see to it” or “The LORD will provide.” If God sees a need, he doesn't just ignore it. He doesn't turn his back on a need. He doesn't just walk on by. When God sees a need, his holy power is moved with love and compassion and he takes action to provide for that need. God's seeing always leads to action. Yesterday we learned from the story of Hagar how El Ro'i is the name of God who always sees you. He saw even Hagar, the one no one else saw. And now we learn another name given to God, Jehovah Jireh which assures us if God sees it, he will SEE TO IT. This is more than just seeing and observing. This is moving in response, this is meeting the need, this is divine provision, this is love in action showing up on the scene. You can be assured that God sees you, he sees where you are, he sees what you need, and his seeing always leads to his action on your behalf. God's provision is never random, it is always intentional and it is personal for you. So why did Abraham call God Jehovah Jireh? It's important to understand the setting so you can understand how Jehovah Jireh will show up for you too. This moment of naming God comes right after one of the most intense tests in all of scripture. Abraham has waited for 99 years for his promised and beloved son Issac. God's promise for the future rested on the life of Abraham's son Issac. Knowing this, God speaks to Abraham and says, “Take your son, your only son – yes, Isaac, whom you love so much – and go to the land of Moriah. Go and sacrifice him as a burnt offering on one of the mountains, which I will show you.” Scripture says, “The next morning Abraham got up early. He saddled his donkey and took two of his servants with him, along with his son, Isaac. Then he chopped woofdfor a fire for a burnt offering and set out for the place God had told him about.” What in the world is happening here? What's happening here is a picture of the deepest trust and holy surrender of a faith filled man. Faith that told him his God is good and his specific promises would be upheld. What's happening here is Abraham knowing that no matter what, God will take care of every need, God will provide precisely what is needed, and his timing will be perfect. On top of the mountain, God shows Abraham where to build the fire. Just as Abraham is trusting God enough to let go of his son, the Lord shows him a ram caught by its horns in the brush. The ram was perfectly placed at the perfect time for the substitution sacrifice. The fire was for the substitute sacrifice. Abraham's son, Isaac, would come down off that mountain with him. The Lord saw the need and the Lord provided for the need. And right here is where Abraham gives a personal name to his personal God who has show up so personally for him. Jehovah Jireh, the LORD will provide. Now remember, God told Abraham to go to a mountain that he would show him. It wasn't that Abraham knew exactly where he was going in advance, he was trusting God to lead him there. Abraham was willing to follow even when it was the hardest thing he would ever do. Abraham was willing to go even when he didn't know where or how. And where God led him was to the exact place he already had a ram waiting stuck in the bushes for him. What this tells Abraham is God saw it all ahead of time, God provided what he could not provide, and God did it in ways he could have never expected. What that tells us is the personal God of Abraham is our personal God, and he will do the same for us. Jehovah Jireh – he will see to it for you – he will provide. The LORD sees everything concerning you way ahead of time. Before you ever get there, before you even know about it, God sees it. And because he sees it, he is working far in advance to provide for it. He's already aligning everything that will be needed for you when you follow him with your steps of obedience. He will provide specifically for you in ways you could never expect. And Jehovah Jireh shows us something even deeper – he shows us he will provide the sacrifice to cover us. He will do what we cannot do. He will make it right. The LORD did not require the sacrifice of Abraham's son – no, instead that's what the LORD did himself – he himself gave his Son, Jesus, as the sacrifice to make things forever right. Again and again, God gives the sacrifice we could never give, all to perfectly provide what we could never supply on our own. We couldn't save ourselves, but God saw the need and he did it for us. That's Jehovah Jireh. The LORD will provide. The LORD will see to it. He will do it for us and he will do it perfectly. Beyond salvation, here's what this means for you today: • God sees your situation fully. Not just one side of it. Not even just from a distance. He sees the big picture and he sees the tiny details. He sees what was, what is, and what is to come. He sees it all fully. And when God sees it, he does something about it! • God's provision will come on time. Abraham didn't see the ram until the moment of sacrifice. God had aligned the ram in perfect timing just when it was needed. He will do the same for you. Just because you don't see it now, doesn’t mean God hasn't already aligned it for you. What you need will be there when the time is right. And God will get it right. The key here is trust. Abraham had a choice to make that morning. He could choose whether he obeyed God or not. He could choose whether he got up and gathered the wood for the fire or not. He could choose whether he climbed the mountain or not. He could choose whether he brought his son or not. His trust in the LORD led him to obedience. And his obedience led him to meeting God in a personal and powerful way. His obedience led him to really knowing Jehovah Jireh, the LORD who personally provided for him. Do you need Jehovah Jireh to provide for you? You can honestly tell him your needs. He's listening. He sees. And he is responding. You can trust him. You can trust his ways and you can trust his timing. Jehovah Jireh is inviting you into a deeper relationship where your feet move in obedience well before you have clarity of where exactly and how exactly. This obedience is what leads you to a revealing of just how personal and powerful your God really is. Jehovah Jireh is the God who sees ahead – the God who acts faithfully – the God who provides what aligns with His greater purposes. LORD, you are Jehovah Jireh – the God who sees and provides. You know what we need better than we know what we need. Help us to trust you, even when we don't see the answer. You will provide what is right, and you will provide it in your perfect timing. Here's my heart, LORD, shape it to follow and obey you.

Sermon notes

In this episode of Don't Miss This, Dave Butler and Grace Freeman continue Abraham's story in Genesis 18–23 and watch the promises of God begin to unfold in real and messy ways. From radical hospitality to wilderness rescues, these chapters reveal a God who shows up, pursues, and provides. The lesson begins with Abraham running to welcome divine visitors on an ordinary afternoon, reminding us that the Lord appears in everyday moments and that we choose how fully we invite Him in. Placed beside it is Lot's story, where lingering and looking back contrast with Abraham's trust. Yet even there, the rescue continues. In houses of sin and cities on the brink, God still calls, “Escape,” revealing a heart determined to save. Genesis 21 and 22 then place two powerful stories side by side. In the wilderness, Hagar discovers the God who sees and provides a well where she least expects it. On Mount Moriah, Abraham and Isaac walk together toward a sacrifice, and the Lord provides a ram, foreshadowing the Lamb who would come later. In both stories, we see the same truth: whether in personal wilderness or eternal need, Jehovah Jireh is the God who provides. These chapters invite us to remember the mountains in our own lives where the Lord has seen us and supplied what we needed.
