Who Provides?



JEHOVAH-JIREH

In Hebrew “JEHOVA-JIREH is defined as “The LORD my Provider”.  The word “provider” as used here isn’t a given.  The item being provided must be believed to be authentic and is capable of doing what is promised.

Until one believes God [But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. Heb 11:6] no spiritual and little physical profit is gained.  First then, what must one believe? That God is and what He says to an individual is important, is truth,  [Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth. John 17:17].


Next, that He is faithful to do as promised [God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord. 1 Cor 1:9        There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it. 1 Cor 10:13]  

As pertaining to; the item being provided must be believed, be authentic and is capable of doing what is promised.”  [In hope of eternal life which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began; Titus 1:2;      That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us: Heb 6:18]’  

What is being provided [For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, Titus 2:11] to all humankind and how is it to be received? [For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith. Rom 1:17] “And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;  to wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.”  
2 Corinthians 5:18-19.  That reconciliation is received by faith plus nothing.  

Sidebar:  I’m so glad its received by faith, none of me and all Him, He’s faithful, I’m surely not.  Him being God knew that from before the foundations of the world, what I was and what I’d do and made provision for me in weakness, “And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly, therefore, will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.”
 2 Corinthians 12:9.


To you that are (thinking) so spiritual what would you do if left to your own devices? [In those days there was no king in Israel: every man did that which was right in his own eyes. Judg 21:25].  God being love [for God is love. 1Jo 4:8b] and at the same time all knowing, all powerful, everywhere all the time, but also being righteousness, just and the justifier [to declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus. Rom 3:26]   Does what?  read it again:  [believeth in Jesus] believeth that one has sinned, agreeing with God [for all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Rom 3:23]. And that all is needed is provided by God in Christ Jesus saying;  “Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;  by which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.  For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;  and that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:”  1 Corinthians 15:1-4.

"For if when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son,  much more being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life"  Romans 5:10 


Just believe, He has provided all  "JEHOVAH-JIREH"

Rightly divided or handling ???

  2 Timothy 2:14-16     Authorized (King James) Version:   “ Of these things put  them  in remembrance, charging  them  before the Lord that they strive not about words to no profit,  but  to the subverting of the hearers. Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. But shun profane  and  vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.” There is in the military a directive that when one receives conflicting orders one will follow the last order given.   Really that makes a lot of sense to one who has sense, but therein lies the rub. Background:   the phrase above in verse “15” reads “rightly dividing the word of truth”.   Modern versions will read “rightly handling” instead of “dividing”.   Those two words have different meanings as seen in Hebrews 4:12 “even to dividing asunder”.   If a person d...

God's good pleasure in you

Philippians 2:13 (KJV)   “For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of  his  good pleasure.” It is our responsibility to allow God to be God in our lives; we needn’t worry of our situations, we need to learn:   “For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day.”   2 Timothy 1:12.   What things do we suffer?   Does it matter, really in the light of eternity what is our present suffering, large or small:   “For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time  are  not worthy  to be compared  with the glory which shall be revealed in us.”   Romans 8:18.   Do we not have a promise from God concerning trails:   “There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God  is  faithful, w...

Whose faithful?

"God is faithful,"  1 Cor 1:9;  "But the Lord is faithful,"  2 Thess 3:3;  " I'm sure not but He is.  When I fail He doesn't, He is faithful.  When I'm distraught, being weak in faith, He is faithful.  I will, can, must depend upon Him in all that I do; Looking for that blessed hope, the soon appearing of my great God and Savior, the LORD Jesus Christ.  He is my life, for I was crucified with Christ and risen, I no longer live now, but the life I now have is by His faithfulness to me that I have my being.  He is faithful to Himself, He can't deny Himself.  He is faithful to His Word that He cannot be separated from. I'm not in Him by anything I could have done, its all His work, it's all about Him and none of me; it came as a gift, a free gift.  I can't take pride in anything,  but to glory in Him.  For all things were made by Him and for Him, in Him all things are. It's impossible for Him to lie, in Him is no dark...
