The Lord Will

Genesis 22:14

“And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovah–jireh: as it is said to this day, In the mount of the Lord it shall be seen.”

KJV

Read in Genesis 22

Meaning

The place name preserves the memory that God provided what was needed after stopping the sacrifice of Isaac.

Read carefully

The saying is not a blank check for prosperity or a guarantee that every crisis will resolve in the form a person expects.

Reflection

The chapter invites remembrance of provision while keeping its concrete shape in view: a life is spared and another offering is supplied.
