JEHOVAH JIREH, THE LORD WILL PROVIDE
Sometimes you want to look at my hands to see what I’m going to give you, but my hands have scars, my hands have bled in your place, my hands have suffered the pain of a hammer and nails.
Look at my hands and know that I understand your pain; but then lift up your eyes and look into my eyes, see the love that I have for you, the love that is so great that I was prepared to die in your place to save you from eternal pain. Look into my eyes and see the love that’s shining through my tears. Don’t say to that I don’t care about your pain, I do care, I care because I love you, but I have a wider vision than you have. In Abraham’s place of sacrifice, I knew how I would provide and while many mourned at the foot of the cross, I knew that I was going to resurrect my son; I knew that what seemed like a tragedy was really the greatest victory that this world has ever know.
In the time of the promises, look at me. When it’s time for those promises to be fulfilled, look at me and don’t forget where your blessings come from. In the difficult times, when the sacrifice seems too great and the pain is so strong and it doesn’t make sense, don’t forget the sacrifice that I made for you. I am your God, I am Jehovah Jireh, the Lord who will provide and whatever happens, I will not leave you and I will not abandon you. In the time of the promises, and in the times when nothing seems to make sense, look to the cross; the place where pain was converted into victory. Even when you don’t understand, give me the first place in your life. You can trust in me because I gave everything for you. I love you.
