And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:19 Jehovah-Jireh - The LORD Who Provides. Literally, The LORD Who Sees or The Lord Who Will See To It! Then Abraham lifted his eyes and looked, and there behind him was a ram caught in a thicket by its horns. So Abraham went and took the ram, and offered it up for a burnt offering instead of his son. And Abraham called the name of the place, The-Lord-Will-Provide; as it is said to this day, “In the Mount of the Lord it shall be provided.” This very place - “In the Mount of the Lord it shall be provided” (v. 14) - is where God provided not only a ram in Isaac’s place but also a Savior in humanity’s place. “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life” (John 3:16). This very place is where Jesus Christ submitted to the will of the Father, “And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross” (Philippians 2:8), and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God…” (Ephesians 5:2).
