Yehovah Zireh!
Abraham was over 100 years and looking at his son Issac, he sees God’s promise being fulfilled. Through him, his seeds will be like the stars in the sky and the sands in the ground. From Abram to Abraham: Father of many. Happy and content with his life, looking at Sarah he must be breaking into a song: Sare jeha se accha! All is well. My cup overflows!
Well, not really! God says, Abraham, Abraham! Take your beloved son, Issac and make a sacrifice to me. With a heavy heart but knowing who God is, Abraham slowly but steadily move forward towards Mount Moriah. Trudging up and up nearer to the peak deep in thoughts what next? Father! His son’s calling bring him back to reality!
We have the firewood but where is the sacrificial lamb? With tears welling up in the eyes but looking away and with a piercing pains in the heart. “My son, Our God Almighty will provide the needful.” Confused and perplexed, Issac hurried up silently carrying his load wishing if he can be of greater help to his father!
All set and ready. With Issac as the sacrificial lamb. Abraham raised his hand with the Knife in the air. GOD’S voices bloom! Abraham, Abraham! Stop with your action and look behind. And Lo! Lock in the bushes is a Lamb! Truly, Yehovah Zireh! God is our providence!
All things great and small, God created all. Sacrifice after sacrifices, he does not long nor want. A clean heart and a contrite spirit is what he look for in us. JESUS CHRIST is His sacrificial Lamb. At the Cross He died once and for all time for our sins. Repent and put your trust in HIM, salvation and righteousness is the assurance!
God is HOLY and can not stand with SINNER! JESUS CHRIST is GOD’S plan for the salvation of mankind. He is God and HOLY but in human form. He has no sin but lives amongst sinners. Whenever SINNER surrendered to him, he becomes righteous. That’s the power of JESUS CHRIST.
At the Gate called JESUS CHRIST!
The lame limped in but walks and jumps;
The blind entered and he sees the light;
The leprous get healed, isolated no more;
Unclean transforms into clean and pure;
Sinners becomes righteous singing praise!
Walking tall in Truth and shining ever;
That’s what JESUS CHRIST will do to you; Come and be free from slavery of doubt!
JESUS CHRIST is our Yehovah Zireh!
