God Sees Ahead GENESIS 22:14 14 And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovah-jireh: as it is said to this day, In the mount of the LORD it shall be seen. One of Gods names is Jehovah Jireh which is a compound name meaning the Lord sees ahead and provides. Jehovah Jireh means, The Lord will see to it, that is, The Lord will provide. Looking at the previous text in Genesis 22, we see Abraham listening to The Lord God of all creation. He had told him to go to this place and sacrifice his son, the son that he had been waiting on for almost 100 years. God saw ahead and provided a sacrifice for his obedient servant. Obedience and Faith are like business partners. We always see both in action when God moves in our lives. God sees way ahead and makes provision for us. When we think God is nowhere to be found, we have quit looking for His provisions. Just like Abraham, we must trust God to be our provider. My truck quit running not long ago. As I prayed and looked to God, He helped me to work things out. While I didnt actually complain to God about having truck trouble, the thoughts were certainly there. Thoughts like the repair money could have been put to a better use. I believe God spoke to my heart that He could have kept my truck running perfectly. Or, He could have supernaturally healed it. But if He would have, then I would not have experienced Him as the One who sees ahead and provides, which He did. It was not the first time God had provided for me, of course. But it is still always thrilling to know that God cares for you, and that He makes plans for your provision, even before you know you will need it. Our God is mighty and wonderful! SAY THIS: God always sees ahead and provides for me.
