For the next 21 days of April I’ve recorded 21 Blessings for your Spirit that will speak truths into your life as we come into awareness and under the covering of all these incredible facets of Yahweh our creator. His names reveal something about his character and nature that we must consider if we are to be like Him!
Our human spirit is responsive. When it is ignored, it will atrophy. When it is nurtured it will grow.
Truth is the nutrient that most powerfully transforms your spirit. Your spirit needs to know the truth about you and about God. Some of that truth is spoken by the Spirit of God to your spirit and some is input that you deliberately seek.
This is a series of blessings designed to leverage the growth of your spirit. There are 21 days of blessings flowing from the names of God coming straight to your inbox.
Here’s an increble song to stir up faith in Jireh for your miraculous prevision that’s coming.
Keep Your Love on Friends!
Love Always, Lindsay Rose 🌹
DAY 1: JIREH = Provision for Miracles
When God introduces himself (the Bible is His word, after all) as Jehovah Jireh, meaning “the Lord will provide,” it’s not in the context of snacks or cars or money or bills. It’s in the context of the most profound physical need a person can face – the loss of life. In Genesis 22, we read the story of Abraham being commanded by God to take his son Isaac to Mount Moriah and sacrifice him. Isaac was the son of promise, a miraculous gift from God when Abraham and Sarah were old. He was the promised child whom God had promised to make into a great nation. He was God’s provision, or so it seemed until God said to lay him on the altar and offer him as a sacrifice.
“After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, ‘Abraham!’ And he said, “Here I am.” He said, ‘Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you.’… When they came to the place of which God had told him, Abraham built the altar there and laid the wood in order and bound Isaac his son and laid him on the altar, on top of the wood. Then Abraham reached out his hand and took the knife to slaughter his son” (Genesis 22:1-2; 9-10).
Abraham obeyed. Hebrews 11 tells us that he acted in faith that God would raise Isaac. He obeyed in the belief that God would provide a miracle of some kind, and God did – a ram caught in a thicket as a substitute sacrifice.
