Jehovah-Jireh, Grace Provider

"Jehovah-Jireh, my Provider, His grace is sufficient for me". Exactly how this truth was proved in the lives of countless people around the world today will never really be known. But we can very sure that it did, ringing loud and clear with hope, healing and wholeness.

Such was the case this morning in the lives of the family members and friends who met to give thanks to God for the life of their loved one now experiencing the promised eternal glory. Again, in the life of a dear friend who shared a concern with God and received an answer to that particular prayer a few hours later. And yet again, as I offered counsel to someone in a difficult and emotional personal situation.

From Mount Moriah to Mount Calvary and beyond, Jehovah-Jireh provides always. Songwriter John Newton penned this truth in his much loved hymn ~ "Amazing grace! how sweet the sound... Grace has brought me safe thus far and grace will lead me home"

Genesis 22:14 (NIV) ~ "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."
