Genesis 22:14 And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovahjireh: as it is said to this day, In the mount of the LORD it shall be seen. I. THE LORD WILL PROVIDE FOR THE BODY. Temporal blessings, no less than spiritual, come to us through the medium of the covenant of grace. 1. The Lord will provide food for the body. He will bring round the seasons without fail, and make corn to grow for the service of man. 2. The Lord will provide raiment for His people. For forty years in the wilderness, amid the wear and tear of journey and of battle, the raiment of the Israelites waxed not old because Jehovah provided for them; and doth He not still remember His own? 3. The Lord will provide for His people protection. Many times are they delivered in a most wonderful way, and to the astonishment of the world. II. THE LORD WILL PROVIDE FOR THE SOUL. 1. Jehovah has provided a Lamb; in the gift of His Son we have the guarantee for the supply of every needed blessing. 2. The Lord will provide for you His Holy Spirit. The gift of the Spirit comes to us through the atonement of Christ, and the sufficiency of the Sacrifice entailed and implied the promise of the Spirit, so that He who hath provided the Lamb is confidently to be trusted for this also. 3. The Lord will provide for the soul an eternal home, as is clear from that word, "I go to prepare a place for you." When the toils of life's pilgrimage are over there remaineth a rest for the people of God. (J. Thain Davidson, D. D.)
