 Jehovah Jireh — The Lord Will Provide

A Reflection on Genesis 22:14 and Philippians 4:19

Jehovah Jireh—the Lord will provide.

Not in tomorrow's distant hope, but here, at eventide.

On the mountain of the test, when the knife is raised and dread is deep,

He catches the ram by its horn and wakes the faith that fell asleep.

So Abraham called that place The Lord Will Provide. And to this day it is said, “On the mountain of the Lord it will be provided.” (Genesis 22:14)

He provides the ram—a substitute, a sign,

A whisper of the greater Lamb on Calvary's line.

He does not spare His own Son, but gives Him up for us all.

How will He not, with Him, give everything when we call?

He provides in the wilderness—the manna, the water, the way.

He provides in the famine—the oil and flour that do not decay.

He provides in the prison, in the furnace, in the storm,

Clothing the lilies, feeding the sparrows, keeping the helpless warm.

And my God will supply every need of yours according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:19, ESV)

So I lift my eyes to the mountain where my Provider stands.

Not a distant storehouse, but the nail‑scarred hands

That open heaven's window and pour out blessing untold.

Jehovah Jireh—my Shepherd, my King, my gold.

I shall not want. For the Lord will provide—

Today, tomorrow, until I reach the other side.

Amen.
