Jehovah Jireh

I remember when as a kid, I would love clapping along the song Jehovah Jireh, especially when reaching that part, "for me! for me!" This song has been playing in my mind for several weeks now, especially after the pastor sang it in his pulpit. Rhema, after a long time. My soul was already protesting repeatedly that it was high time to lay aside all the information overload from the Internet and private research. It does benefit me in so many ways when church sermons are skillfully wound with substantial information but rhema is better. Nothing beats rhema of course. Now this brings me to some thinking, perhaps my heart was not it a state of hearing properly. Was it so? Was my heart hardened in those past weeks that I heard nothing? Who knows, it must have been the other way around.

His grace is sufficient for me..
Looking up in Wiki, I learn that Jehovah Jireh is a specific spot in the land of Moriah where God told Abraham to offer his son Isaac as a burnt offering. Abraham named this place after Jehovah provided a ram to sacrifice in place of Isaac.

How wonderful that with the grace of God, we have everything we need or desire because HE is enough. HE is sufficient for our needs. And these needs are all encompassing. Whether it be food on the table, confidence in a new job, people skills, decisions, crossroads, world peace or simply what to say.. from the simplest to the most profound.

and so I remember Whom have I in heaven but Thee, there is nothing on earth I desire besides Thee... and God will rescue her just at the break of dawn.

Let me sing-

Jehovah Jireh, my Provider
His grace is sufficient for me, for me, for me!
Jehovah Jireh, my Provider
His grace is sufficient for me.
My God shall supply all my needs
According to His riches and glory
He will keep His angels
Charge over me
Jehovah Jireh cares for me.
