On the mount where Abraham was going to sacrifice his son of promise-Isaac before he was stopped when he heard God’s voice. (Genesis 22)
A ram substitute was provided after the altar was built and Abraham renamed the place “Jehovah-Jireh”, which means: “The Lord will provide”
I find it interesting that Abraham didn’t rename the place “The place of suffering”, “The place of my trial and joy” or something negative.
Despite the challenging request from the Lord to sacrifice Isaac, Abraham chose to see the whole situation in a positive light by calling the place “Jehovah-Jireh”, which means: “The Lord will provide”
Having been in and out of the hospital more than 3 times in just this month and having experienced major health challenges this year, my choice today is nothing but thanksgiving.
I bow my knees and glorify the Lord and declare “ I serve a God who is good and whose mercies endure forever.
As i come to the end of 2018, I’m so thankful and my praise belongs to my Maker alone. To Him be glory, honour, power and dominion, forever and ever.
I thank God for journey mercies throughout 2018.
