Hope for Right Now: A Walking with Purpose Podcast

Episode 69: Jehovah Jireh


Listen Later

Join Lisa and Laura for the final episode in our series Names of God. In biblical times, names were of great importance—they conveyed a person’s essence, history, nature, or character. As we explore the various names of God in the Old Testament, we gain insight into His character. With each name, we will learn a new attribute, deepening our understanding of and growing closer to God. In today’s episode, we explore our seventh name, Jehovah Jireh—my provider. The word for provide, “jireh," in the Old Testament, means to see. When God sees, He foresees. Our all-knowing, ever-present, eternal Father knows the end from the beginning and so in His omniscience, He provides. But what about when God asks us to do things that don’t make sense? When what is happening looks like the opposite of His provision—a contradiction to what He promised? This is what today’s episode is about, and you do not want to miss it.

Open your Heart to our key Scripture.

Genesis 22:1–19

Open your Bible to other Scriptures referenced in this episode.

Hebrews 11:19: He considered that God was able to raise men even from the dead.
2 Chronicles 3:1: Then Solomon began to build the house of the Lord in Jerusalem on Mount Moriah, where the Lord had appeared to his father David, at the place that David had prepared, on the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
Hebrews 10:4–5: For since it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins … but a body you have prepared for me.
Genesis 22:3: So Abraham rose early in the morning, saddled his donkey, and took two of his young men with him, and his son Isaac; and he cut the wood for the place of which God had told him.
Genesis 39:23: The Lord was with him and whatever he did, the Lord made it prosper.
Hebrews 11:8–22
John 16:33: I have said this to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.

Invite Him in with this episode’s questions for reflection.

Are you willing to let go? Are you willing to trust God completely, even with your Isaac? What is your Isaac?

Bonus question: What can you do to avoid defining God based only on His gifts to you?
