Jehovah-Jireh: Our Provider
Abraham names the place "Jehovah-jireh," meaning "The Lord will provide." Commentators explain this name is a memorial to God's timely provision of the ram. As Charles Spurgeon highlights, if God provided for this ultimate crisis, we can trust Him to foresee and provide for every need in our lives. This name encourages believers throughout history to trust cheerfully in God's faithful provision.
