Yahweh Yireh
The Lord will Provide
The Names of God were given by individuals when a characteristic of God became powerfully personal to them. Often they named the place where they were standing as a remembrance.
Genesis 22:14 says, “And Abraham called the name of that place Yahweh Yireh, meaning In the mount of the Lord it shall be seen. Abraham called God Yahweh Yireh when He provided the ram to replace the sacrifice of his son Isaac.
Yahweh Yireh means Yahweh will see, which translated means He will appear on the mountain. Yahweh Yireh has traditionally been translated The Lord Will Provide, because God powerfully appears in our lives when we are in need. His appearance is our provision.
It is recorded in Matthew 28:10 that Jesus appeared to the women after His resurrection and said, “Do not be afraid. Go tell my brothers to go to Galilee where they will see Me.” Verse 16 says, “The eleven disciples went away to Galilee to the mountain Jesus appointed for them.” There Jesus said, “And lo, I am with you always even to the end of the age.” His eternal, constant presence – our greatest provision.
