Genesis 22:14 And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovahjireh: as it is said to this day, In the mount of the LORD it shall be seen. I. Let us consider WHAT GOD HAD PROVIDED FOR ABRAHAM IN TIME PAST. 1. The Lord provided for him an unusual measure of faith. 2. God had provided for Abraham a ram for a burnt-offering in the stead of his son. II. Let us consider THE INFERENCE WHICH ABRAHAM DREW FROM WHAT GOD HAD PROVIDED FOR HIM IN TIME PAST. "Jehovah-jireh,"said he, "the Lord will provide." So much as to say, "What lie has done is a pledge and an earnest of what lie will do. Since He has shown so much of His grace and goodness to me in time past, He will show more in time to some." Do you ask, What will He provide? 1. He will provide for us in the life that now is. 2. God will provide for us in that life which is to come.Conclusion: 1. How precious is the grace of faith. 2. How devoted should we be to the service of God. 3. And lastly, how firm and assured should be the Christian's confidence in his God. (D. Rees.)
