Are you ever tempted to doubt that God will provide for you? Sometimes, it’s normal to feel uncertain, especially when it comes to our faith. Times when we doubt God will provide for us can be tough. But we’re not alone in this. Many Christians go through moments when their faith is challenged. When they start to worry about the future. If you’re feeling like this, know that you are not alone. God is with you, and He will never leave you. He is Jehovah Jireh My Provider!

The simple answer to these faith questions is YES! Even when life is tough and everything seems to be going wrong, we can still trust God will provide everything we need. However, I know that while the answer might be simple, it’s not always easy to give.

When we face hard times—be they physical, financial, emotional, or spiritual. We need to be reminded and encouraged by the Truth of God’s Word. 

God Is Jehovah Jireh

One of my favorite names of God is Jehovah Jireh: The Lord Will Provide, commonly referred to as My Provider. Abraham first used this name when God provided a sacrifice for his son Isaac (Genesis 22).

We can see from Genesis that God has always been a great provider, even from the beginning of creation.

• In the Garden of Eden, even after Adam and Eve disobeyed Him, God provided clothing to cover their nakedness (Genesis 9:3).

• When the Israelites needed to evade the pursuit of the Egyptians, God provided Moses with a staff that parted the Red Sea (Exodus 14).

• In the wilderness, God provided more than a million Israelites with food each day as they wandered for forty years (Exodus 16).

• For David, God provided a rock and a sling to defeat a giant (1 Samuel 17), then shelter and protection when a disgruntled king chased him (1 Samuel 23).

• When a multitude of people needed food after one of Jesus’ sermons, God provided a little boy’s lunch to feed the crowd (Matthew 14).

• And, for you and me, God provided a Savior (John 3:16).

God Supplies Everything We Need

We often associate Jehovah Jireh with financial provision, but God provides so much more! Looking to the future, we can be hopeful that Jehovah Jireh will provide for all our needs, both big and small.

Philippians 4:19 says it best—

And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.

Whatever our need is today, we can be confident God can provide for it. There is no need to worry or be anxious about anything, because God is faithful and He will provide for all our needs. I pray these Bible verses encourage you and give you deeper insight into God’s love and care for you.
