YAHWEH YIREH
(We pronounce
Jehovah Jirah)
(We pronounce
Jehovah Jirah)
I love learning about the power and love behind the names of God.
The NameThe Hebrew word raah (RA-ah, from which yireh is derived) means 'to see'.
In this case, it is translated as provide.
Since God sees the future as well as the past and the present, he is able to anticipate and provide for what is needed.
Interestingly the English word 'provision;
is made up of two Latin words that mean "to see beforehand".
When you pray to Yahweh Yireh, you are praying to the God who sees
the situation beforehand and IS ABLE to provide for your needs.
Key Scripture
Abraham looked up and there in a thicket he saw a ram caught by its horns. He went over and took the ram and sacrificed it as a burnt offering instead of his son. So Abraham called the place THE LORD WILL PROVIDE. And to this day it is said, 'On the mountain of the Lord it will be provided." Gen. 22:1-14
Prayer:
Yahweh Yireh, the Lord who provides for me,
thank you for all your blessings,
for forgiveness and faith,
purpose and hope,
food and shelter,
family and friends,
strength and wisdom,
rest and work,
laughter and light.
Your blessings never come to an end because you are a God of INFINITE GRACE.
Amen.
{taken from 'Praying the Names of God, by Ann Spangler}
I really really jumped in my spirit when I saw the Hebrew word raah...
"to see"
"to see"
to even 'see beforehand'
He knows even before we ask...
He knows even before we ask...
You will see God's provision!
Maybe if we have worn out the carpet praying
about something over and over again... it is time to PRAISE HIM FOR IT!
