This name means “the God who provides. Abraham met God as Jehovah Jireh when he offered Isaac as a sacrifice of obedience. God provided a ram in the thicket to take Isaac’s place. God provided His Son, Jesus Christ, to take our place on the cross. Jehovah-Jireh is the God who provided the ultimate blood sacrifice for our sins. Everything we need comes to us by Jehovah Jireh.  He provides our every need.
