God Provides (3 of 4)
Series: It’s All About God (Part 2)
Jeff Strite
Genesis 22:9-14
This sermon was preached by our Family Minister Scott Jewell.
We’ve been going through a series of your favorite verses. Our ministers that meet from lunch surveyed their churches and posted on Facebook to find out people’s favorite verses from which to preach. What surprised me was that these verses weren’t about making ourselves feel good, they were all about God and what He is doing in this world.
A few weeks ago, I asked Jeff when it would be helpful to him for me to preach again. He suggested I take today’s topic- God Provides. Little did we know at that time that Jeff would be preaching a funeral on Friday and a Quinceneara on Saturday. God provided, knowing Jeff’s need even before he did.
As I thought about the topic, my mind immediately went to the song Jehovah Jireh, so I asked our worship leaders to sing it this morning.
I remember back when I was in St. Louis how a nearby church hosted an outreach they called Journey to Bethlehem. People could come and take a tour of various stations leading to the stable where Mary and Joseph were there with baby Jesus and conclude with worship. It was so popular, the church had to organize a program to occupy people waiting their turn for the tour. They had to have spies among the ushers because I got picked to go up front with a group of volunteers. They placed us among the families of Mary and Joseph as they celebrated and prepared for the journey to Bethlehem. They were dressed as Jews at the time of Jesus’ birth, placed us in a circle to spin around as we sang:
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 in Glory
He gives His angels charge over me Jehovah Jireh cares for me, for me, for me
Jehovah Jireh cares for me
Now, I always assumed that this song came direc ...
