Who is our provider...



God is I AM...the One who always is.  Another name for God is Jehovah.   Jehovah means that God is present in every situation and that He intervenes for good.  Many times in scripture Jehovah is combined with another word to give another, deeper realization of God's character.  One of those words is the Hebrew word, Jireh.  Jireh, means 'to see.'  Jehovah Jireh…God is here and He sees [the need and will provide for it].

In Genesis 22, God has called Abraham to sacrifice his son, Isaac.  Isaac asks his father where the sacrifice is and in verse 8, Abraham says to him, "8 ...'God himself will provide the lamb for the burnt offering, my son.'  And the two of them went on together."  Continuing in the story, in verses 13-14 we see that God did, indeed, provide the sacrifice.  "13 Abraham looked up and there in a thicket he saw a ram caught by its horns.  He went over and took the ram and sacrificed it as a burnt offering instead of his son.  14 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.'"


Another way to translate Jehovah Jireh is to say that God will see to it!  God's pre-vision IS His provision!!!

Philippians 4:19 says, "19 ...My God shall supply ALL my needs according to His riches in glory."

Matthew 6:33 says, "33...seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you."

These are just a couple of examples of the promises of Jehovah Jireh...The Lord, our Provider!  How awesome it is to know that God will always provide for our needs!!!  Won't you listen to this song and thank Him for His provision!!!

  2. I am an American man, and I have decided to boycott American women. In a nutshell, American women are the most likely to cheat on you, to divorce you, to get fat, to steal half of your money in the divorce courts, don’t know how to cook or clean, don’t want to have children, etc. Therefore, what intelligent man would want to get involved with American women?

    American women are generally immature, selfish, extremely arrogant and self-centered, mentally unstable, irresponsible, and highly unchaste. The behavior of most American women is utterly disgusting, to say the least.

    This blog is my attempt to explain why I feel American women are inferior to foreign women (non-American women), and why American men should boycott American women, and date/marry only foreign (non-American) women.

    BOYCOTT AMERICAN WOMEN!
