Genesis 22:14 says, “And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovah-jireh: as it is said to this day, In the mount of the LORD it shall be seen.”

Abraham didn’t name that place in the valley. He named it on the mountain, after the tears, after the questions, after the long walk of obedience when nothing made sense. When the ram finally appeared, Abraham didn’t just see provision. He saw the faithfulness of God up close.

Jehovah-Jireh means “The Lord will provide,” but it also carries the idea that God sees ahead. He sees what you need before you know you need it. He sees the answer while you’re still asking the question. He sees the provision while you’re still climbing the mountain.

Friend, if you’re tired today, if your faith feels stretched, if you’re carrying something heavy up a hill you didn’t choose, hear this: God is not late. He is not unaware. He has not forgotten you.

The ram was already there. It was waiting in God’s timing, not Abraham’s.

So take another step. Keep trusting. Keep believing. One day you’ll look back and give that place a name too—not fear, not struggle, not loss—but Jehovah-Jireh. The Lord provided, right on time.
