Jehovah-Jireh: The Lord Will Provide and the Lord Will See (4 of 10)
Series: The Names of God

Genesis 22:1-18; Matthew 6:25-34; Luke 18:1-8
INTRO: One of the joys of being a father is the pleasure I get out of providing for my family.
It is a joy to see my children healthy and happy - clothed, eating good food; these things I try and provide without their even asking.
It is also fun to provide something they ask for, to see them happy makes me happy, sometimes though I must keep something from them until their priorities are correct or until they are mature enough to handle what they are asking for, i.e. candy before supper, a gun cannot be given to a 5-year-old, etc.

''I will uphold you in the hour of death, and as you are passing into the world of spirits, my mercy shall still continue with you, and when you land i ...
