Good morning once again, good
to be here together. Open your Bibles if you would
to Genesis chapter 22. Genesis chapter 22. The name
of the message is Jehovah Jireh. Jehovah Jireh. Genesis 22 verses 1, we'll read
to verse 18. Get the context of the whole
message. And it came to pass after these things that God did
tempt Abraham, and said unto him, Abraham, and he said, behold,
here I am. And he said, take now thy son,
thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest, and get thee into the
land of Moriah, and offer him there for a burnt offering upon
one of the mountains, which I will tell thee of. And Abraham rose
up early in the morning, and saddled his ass, and took two
of his young men with him, and Isaac and his son, and claimed
the wood for the burnt offering, and rose up and went into the
place of which God had told him. Then on the third day, Abraham
lifted up his eyes and saw the place afar off. Abraham said
unto his young men abide here abide ye here with the ass and
I and the lad will go yonder and worship and come again to
you Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering and laid it
upon Isaac his son and he took the fire in his hand and a knife
and They went both of them together And Isaac said unto Abraham his
father and And said, my father, and he said, here am I, my son. And he said, behold, the fire
and the wood. But where is the lamb for a burnt
offering? So Isaac had been taught what
was required and what was proper for the sacrifice. And he notices
here that they have everything but the offering. Look at verse 8. And Abraham
said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering. So they went both of them together. And they came to the place which
God had told him of. And Abraham built an altar there
and laid the wood in order. bound Isaac his son and laid
him on the altar upon the wood and Abraham stretched forth his
hand and took the knife to slay his son and The angel of the
Lord called unto him out of heaven and said Abraham Abraham and
he said here am I and And he said, lay not thy hand upon the
lad, neither do thou anything unto him. For now I know that
thou fears God, seeing that thou has not withheld thy son, thine
only son from me. And Abraham lifted up his eyes
and looked and behold behind him a ram caught in a thicket
by his horns. Abraham went and took the ram
and offered him up for a burnt offering. in the stead of his
son. And Abraham called the name of
that place Jehovah-Jireh. As it is said to this day in
the mouth of the Lord, it shall be seen in the angel of the Lord
called unto Abraham out of heaven the second time and said by myself,
have I sworn, say it the Lord, for because thou has done this
thing and thou has not withheld thy son, thine only son, that
in blessing, I will bless thee in multiplying. I will multiply
thy seed is the stars of the heaven. And as the sand which
is upon the sea shore, and thy seed shall possess the gate of
his enemies, and in thy seed shall all the nations of the
earth be blessed, because thou hast obeyed my voice. Now the
scripture here before us brings forth in verse one, and it came
to pass after these things that God did tempt Abraham and said
unto him, Abraham, and he said, behold, here am I. After Sarah
had had a child, and Isaac had been born, and Abraham had to
cast out Hagar and Ishmael, and the casting out of Ishmael grieved
Abraham very much. And it was trying on him. Look
at verse 11 and 12 of the previous chapter. Genesis 21 verses 11
and 12. It was not an easy thing for
him to do. But Isaac was the child of promise. Ishmael wasn't. Ishmael was a
child of the flesh. Look at this in verse 11 and
12, And the thing was very grievous in Abraham's sight because of
his son. And God said unto Abram, Let it not be grievous in thy
sight because of the lad, and because of thy bondwoman. and
all that Sarah has said unto thee, hearken unto her voice,
for in Isaac shall thy seed be called." So it was grievous for
Abraham to do this. And Abraham had also made a treaty
with Abimelech about the wells of water, which we see further
down in chapter 21. And Abraham sojourned in the
Philistines' lands many days. So Abraham had went through a
lot of trials already. A lot of things he had went through
already up to this point. So that's the setting for now.
And we open chapter 22 and it says, and it came to pass after
these things that God did tempt Abraham and said unto him, Abraham.
And he said, behold, here I am. Now the word tempt there in our
text in the Hebrew is to try or test. To try or test. God tried Abraham. And he tested
Abraham. And what did Abraham do? He trusted
God, didn't he? He trusted God. He rested in
Him. He trusted in Him. And in fact,
one commentator said, Abraham is one of the most tried men
in all the scriptures. It's all the things he's went
through. What I'd like us to consider here today is that God
will always provide for His people. He will always provide for his
people. The text that we're going to
key on is verse 14. And Abraham called the name of
the place Jehovah-Jireh. As it is said to this day in
the mount of the Lord, it shall be seen. Now the main, the meaning
of the name Jehovah-Jireh in the Hebrew is the Lord will provide. The Lord will provide. How many
times has believers Have we seen in our lives the Lord providing for us when
it seemed impossible? And He provided for us, He took
care of us. But I want us to think of this,
a greater provision than all the things that He's given us
in our lives. The provision of Christ. Dying for our sins. We are the
guilty ones. The provision of the innocent
Lamb of God dying in our place. That is the greatest provision
ever. Nothing even compares to it. The Lord has provided that
which we need. Forgiveness, pardon, justification,
righteousness. And how has He done it? through
the sacrifice of His Son. God has provided. He's Jehovah-Jireh
for us, isn't He? He's our provider. He's our provider. He's provided for our needs,
both spiritually and physically, doesn't He? Oh, in the redeemed
of the Lord, we rejoice. We rejoice. Has He not provided
all our spiritual needs in Christ? We needed to be redeemed. Christ
is our Redeemer. We needed to be made righteous.
Christ is our righteousness. We needed to be sanctified and
made holy to be in the presence of God. Christ is our sanctification. He's everything. He's everything
to us. We need to be forgiven, right?
We need to be forgiven, not just forgiven. We need to we need
to have all our sins paid for. We need God's justice and law
to be satisfied. We need that. And and Christ dies for his people. And has fully satisfied God's
law and justice in our place. What provision? Can we not say
we who are redeemed the Lord Jehovah Jireh? God is Jehovah. He hath provided. He hath provided. Oh, my. We need to be justified
before God. Christ alone is our justification,
and he was raised for our justification. So the people of God see this
precious name Jehovah Jireh fulfilled in our savior. We see this precious
name of God fulfilled in Christ. The Lord will provide. And he
has for us, hasn't he? He has. For all his people. It's wonderful. Wonderful. God has provided Christ as our
substitute. The name Jehovah Jireh is a name
that is crucial for believers today, even. It's crucial for
us today. just as it was in days past,
just as it was in days past. It is a name that assumes that
our heavenly father will always care and provide for us and take
care of us. He will always provide for his
people. And again, if you doubt that,
just reflect back in your life as a believer. How many times
the Lord has delivered you? How many times the Lord has provided
for you when situations seemed hopeless? And then, this should be first
and foremost for us again. Think of what Christ, how God
has provided for us all spiritual blessings in Christ. In Christ. So this name is crucial for us
today, just as it was for believers in the past. He's provided all
we need. And I hope that the Holy Spirit
will teach us that today. That all we need is provided
in Christ. And if you're here lost, I pray
that the Holy Spirit would regenerate you and show you that sinners
have all we need provided in Christ. Let's consider the circumstance
of our text. Abraham calls this place Jehovah-Jireh,
as it's the place he provided Aram as a substitute to die in
the place of his son Isaac. Look at verse 6, and Abraham
took the wood of the burnt offering and laid it upon And laid it
upon Isaac his son, and he took the fire in his hand and the
knife, and they went both of them together. And Isaac spake
unto Abraham his father, and said, My father, and he said,
Here am I. And he said, Behold the fire and the wood, but where
is the lamb for a burnt offering? And God said, Now look at these
words here, My son, God will provide himself God will provide Himself a lamb. Did He not do that at Calvary's
Cross for His people? God provided Himself as the Lamb. The Lamb. So this is a picture here, beloved.
We're seeing that this is a picture pointing right to the cross of
Christ, beloved. So they went, both of them, together.
And they came to the place which God had told them of. And Abraham
built an altar there and laid the wood in order because If
you read in Leviticus, the wood had to be all stacked in a certain
order and everything. And bound Isaac his son, and
laid him on the altar upon the wood. And Abraham stretched forth
his hand, and took the knife to slay his son. And the angel
of the Lord called unto him out of heaven, and said, Abraham,
Abraham. And he said, Here am I. And he said, Lay not thy hand
upon the lad, neither do thou anything unto him. For I know
that thou fearest God, seeing thou hast not withheld thy son,
thine only son, from me. God did not withhold Christ coming
to this earth to die for we who believe. His only son. Now here we see Abraham stopped
from plunging the knife into Isaac. But there's a lamb provided,
isn't there? And Abraham lifted up his eyes
and looked, and behold, him a ram caught in the thicket by his
horns. And Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him for
a burnt offering in the stead of his son. There's a substitute. And that knife was plunged into the substitute. Isaac was set free. The justice of God fell upon my Savior. And I'm
set free. What a picture we have here,
brother. What a picture we have here. And Abraham took the ram
and offered him up for a burnt offering instead of his son.
And look what Abraham calls it. Could you imagine how Abraham
felt? And Abraham called the name of
that place, Jehovah Jireh, as it is said to this day in the
mound of the Lord, it shall be seen. God provided. God provided
a lamb, a ram. God provided a substitute, didn't
He? What a picture. Let us consider this. Our first
point here I'd like us to draw from this text here is that God
provides the right thing that is needed. Look, He provided
a ram. He provides the right thing that
is needed. Look at this. And Abraham lifted up his eyes
and looked. And behold, behind him a ram
caught in a thicket by his horns. And Abraham went and took the
ram and offered him up for a burnt offering in the stead of his
son. God provided the right thing that was needed. God had done what Abraham said he would do
in verse 8. He provided a lamb for a burnt
offering. Verse 14, He provided a substitute. And that's why Abraham... Verse 13, He provided a substitute.
And that's why in 14, Abraham declares and proclaims that precious
name, Jehovah-Jireh. The Lord will provide. In verse 13, He provided a substitute. And we see by the eye of faith,
how our great God has provided a substitute, we who believe. The question for every one of
us here in this room, is Christ your substitute? Because either
your sins will be judged in yourself, or they will be judged in the
substitute. Oh, what a wonderful picture
we have here. Of mercy in grace beyond words. God provided Christ to die for
his people. And not just to be our substitute
in death, but ponder our substitute in life. He fulfilled all righteousness,
beloved. All that He suffered through
His life, He suffered for us, for we who believe. And He did it because He loves
us. And He's loved us with an everlasting love, an unchanging
love. dies again before the law of
God, and he pays to the full what the law of God demands. He pays to the full. Again, we
like to say the sword of God's justice, but look at the text
here. The knife of God's justice was
plunged right into the Savior, beloved. He gives his life for his people. He died for his people, just
as this ram died for Isaac, in Isaac's place. That's what Christ
has done, that substitution. Two words, if you ever, from
a gospel message that we preachers, we hope you receive, and that
substitution and satisfaction. Christ is the perfect substitute. And God is absolutely satisfied
with his sacrifice. With no other. For Christ also hath once suffered
for sins, the just, the sinless, the perfect one. Who did he die
for? The unjust, sinners by birth,
nature, and choice. The just one, the sinless one,
dying for we who are guilty. The just for the unjust, why?
That he might bring us to God. There's no other way for us to
come to God other than through Christ, beloved. Being put to
death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit. Oh, the Lord Jesus
Christ is the Messiah, the Lamb of God, who has been provided. And now, how long has he been
provided as the Lamb? In the council halls of eternity. He's the Lamb slain from the
foundation of the world, beloved. planned and purposed by God. And here we see him before us
in type and picture as the substitute of his people, whom in due time
God would send into the world. Turn, if you would, to John chapter
10. We'll look at one verse. And this is the master saying
this. This is wonderful. He's been sanctified and he's
been sent of the Father. He's on a mission. That's why scripture says he
set his face like a flint to Jerusalem. That means it's like
stone. Oh, how that makes my heart sing. His face was set
like a flint to what he had to do. I must redeem my people from
their sin. And He did it, beloved. He did
it. Praise God, He did it. And our sins, we who believe,
all our sins are forgiven. They're gone. As far as the East
is from the West. God doesn't remember them anymore.
We can't really fathom that, can we? But it's true. It's true. It's wondrous. Look what he said
here in John 10, verse 36. Say ye of him whom the Father
hath sanctified and sent into the world, thou blasphemous,
because I said I am the Son of God. He was sanctified and sent
into the world. The Word of God, the second person
of the Trinity, became flesh and dwelt among us. God incarnate
in the flesh. No ordinary man died on Calvary's
cross. It's the Lord Jesus Christ. Now,
the two thieves among them were natural men. But the Lord had
mercy on one, didn't He? We saw that in Brother Tim's
reading. The Lord had mercy on one of them, didn't He? Oh, my. But the God-man, the perfect,
spotless Lamb of God dies for His people on Calvary's cross.
Oh, it's wondrous. It's absolutely, absolutely wondrous. God provides the right thing
that's needed. And we need a substitute, beloved. And God provides a substitute. He provides a substitute. We
were like Isaac there, bound wood. The law and justice had
a claim on us, didn't it? We were bound up. Oh my, what
a Savior. Let us consider the next point,
the necessity of the substitute. We have a sin problem. Every
human being on this earth has a sin problem. And our sin keeps
us from the presence of God. We cannot approach Him because
of our sins. And we will not approach Him
in our natural state. There's none that seek it after
God. There's none that understand. There's none righteous. That's
our natural state. But oh, when we're made willing,
we flee to Christ. We flee to Him, and it's because
He makes us willing. And oh my. So in our natural
state, we will never approach God. We'll never approach God.
And just as in our text, there must be a sacrifice. There must
be a shed in the blood. The substitute must die. And
so Christ dies for His people. Galatians 2.20 says this, I am
crucified with Christ, nevertheless I live, yet not I, yet not I. But Christ liveth in me in the
life which I now live in the flesh. I live by the faith of
the son of God who loved me and gave himself for me. Now, every
believer can say that he gave himself for me. He's my substitute. And we know the necessity of
the of the substitute in our lives. We've been taught that
every way that we're sinners. We can't save ourselves. We must
have a substitute. And God makes us willing. We're
born again by the Holy Spirit of God. And we flee to Christ,
don't we? We flee to the only substitute
that God. And there's only one substitute God will accept. Christ. No other. No other substitute will be accepted.
None. Except Christ. Except Christ. In Galatians, Chapter 220, it
says, and gave himself for me. Paul knew. What we know that
we have a sin problem and we cannot help ourselves and Christ
must be our substitute, the perfect man, the sinless man, the lamb
of God who gave himself, died for his people. And let us never
forget that Christ, our Passover is sacrificed for us, for us,
for our sins. Christ was sent by God to be
a sacrifice for his people. So we see the necessity of Christ
dying for his people. Behold the Lamb of God, John
the Baptist proclaimed. And gospel preachers proclaim
this every message. Behold the Lamb of God. Behold
the great substitute of sinners. The Lord Jesus Christ. He was
sent to be an offering for sin. He was sent to be an offering
for the elect of God. He was the one who was pictured
in the Old Testament sacrifices, and he is the one who is pictured
in our text in verse 13. When the ram was offered as a
burnt sacrifice, and Abraham lifted up his eyes and looked,
and behold, behind him a ram caught in the thicket by his
horns. And Abraham went and took the ram and offered him up for
a burnt sacrifice in the stead of his son. It pleased the Lord. Turn, if you would, to Isaiah
chapter 53. Beloved, it pleased the Lord
to bruise Christ. Contemplate that. It pleased
God to bruise Christ in our place as our substitute. It pleased
Him. It pleased Him that the justice
of God, the wrath of God should be Satisfied in Christ look at
Isaiah 53 verses 10 and 11 and think of this in What we're looking
at in Jehovah Jireh the Lord will provide Yet it pleased the
Lord to bruise him to bruise Christ He hath put him to grief
when thou shall make his soul and offer him for sin That's
what we see pictured in our texts We see pictured in our text the
death of Christ Christ dying in our place The ram dies in
the place of Isaac He shall see a seed he shall
prolong his days and the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in
his hands So there we see substitution, right? Look at what we see in
verse 11. We see satisfaction He shall
see the travail of his soul and shall be satisfied. Underline that in your Bible
if you want. That is a marvelous word, beloved. God is satisfied
with the sacrifice of Christ. I love going to this verse. I'll
be honest with you. Because it makes my heart just
sore to know that God is absolutely satisfied with the sacrifice
of Christ in my place. Absolutely. And that's what the
scripture proclaims here. He shall see the travail of his
soul and shall be satisfied by his knowledge. So my righteous
servant Christ is the only one who could be called righteous.
And he came here as a servant of God, didn't he? God incarnate.
But he was he was subservient to God's will. He's God in the
flesh, but he's here to do the father's will. Shall my righteous
servant what justify many a number that no man can number? For he shall what bear their
iniquities. Substitution and satisfaction. Christ is the only sacrifice
that God will accept. God in his infinite wisdom and
grace sent the Lord Jesus Christ into this world to die for his
people Just as the Ram died in Isaac's place God provides the right sacrifice
The only sacrifice that he will accept and the only sacrifice
that we as sinners need the Lord Jesus Christ God, God incarnate
in the flesh. Look at verse eight again. And
Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a
burnt offering. And he did. He did. God's people can say, Hallelujah,
what a savior. My God has provided a sacrifice
for me. For my sins. The book of Leviticus proclaims
this, but his inwards and his legs shall be washed in water
and the priest shall burn all on the altar to be a burnt sacrifice,
an offering made by fire of a sweet savor unto the Lord. So that
offering that they offered up there was a sweet savor unto
the Lord. Sweet savor unto the Lord. Turn,
if you would, to Ephesians chapter 5. Ephesians chapter 5 in the
New Testament. In the book of Ephesians, the
scripture proclaims this about Christ and His death. He is the one necessary substitute. Look at Ephesians chapter 5 verse
2. And walk in love as Christ also hath loved us and hath given
himself for us. Remember, the sinless, spotless
Lamb of God. Not one sin in thought, word,
or deed. Perfect. The one who's said the
devil come to him and has nothing in him. There's nothing in him.
He got a lot to get in us, doesn't he? But nothing in him. Nothing at all. Hath given himself for us an
offering and a sacrifice to God. for a sweet-smelling Savior. God is absolutely, perfectly
satisfied with the death of Christ as an offering for the sins of
His people. He is the substitute. The Lord
Jesus Christ is the burnt offering, the substitute, that is a sweet-smelling
savor to God. Let us now consider that He provides
the sacrifice at the right place. Look at verse 14 again in Genesis
chapter 22. He provides the sacrifice at
the right place. 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. Note it is said, in the
mound of the Lord it shall be seen from the times of Moses
on through the ages even until now. The Lord provides for his
people in salvation and in times of distress. Note it says in
the mound of the Lord. The place was provided as well
as the offering. I'll read you three scriptures
from the New Testament here. Acts 2.23, Him being delivered
by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have
taken Him by wicked hands, have crucified and slain. Colossians
1.20, And having made peace through the blood of His cross by Him,
to reconcile all things unto Himself, I say, whether they
be things in earth or things in heaven. And in Galatians 3.13,
Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made
a curse for us. For it is written, Cursed is
everyone that hangeth on a tree. all according to the determinate
counsel and foreknowledge of God. All according to that. God told
Abraham to go to the land of Moriah, to the mount of his choosing.
Look at verse 2, and he said, Take now thy son, thine only
son Isaac, whom thou lovest, and get thee into the land of
Moriah, and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of
the mountains, which I will tell thee of. Our blessed Savior was crucified
at a place of God's choosing called Mount Calvary. Mount Calvary. Turn if you would
to John chapter 3. John chapter 3. Verses 14 to 16. Look at this. Our Lord was crucified at the
place of God's choosing. Then put your finger in Luke
23. Sorry. John chapter 3 and Luke 23. Look at verses 14 to 15 in John
chapter 3. And as Moses lifted up the serpent
in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up.
So Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness and all who
looked to that serpent were saved, didn't they? And all who didn't
perished. Perished. All who look to Christ
shall be saved, and all who don't shall perish in their sins. That whosoever believeth in Him
should not perish, but have eternal life. For God so loved the world
that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth
in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. Look at
verse 16. Whosoever believeth in Him. should not perish, but have everlasting
life. Oh my, what a Savior. Then look in Luke 23, verse 33. The place was determined by God. And when they come to the place
which is called Calvary, there they crucified Him. And the malefactors,
one on the right hand and the other. on the left. God determined where the sacrifice
would be offered, and He determined who the sacrifice would be, all
by His counsel. Acts 4.28, the Scriptures declare
this, For to do whatsoever thy hand and thy counsel determined
before to be done. The Lord Jesus Christ was a sacrifice
provided for the sins of His people. Turn, if you would, to
John, chapter 12. John, chapter 12. And remember
what we read. Remember what we read in John
3, 14. And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness,
even so must the Son of Man be lifted up. Look at this in John,
chapter 12, verses 32 and 33. And I, if I be lifted up from
the earth, will draw all men unto me. This, he said, signifying
what death he should die. He was lifted up from the earth. He hung upon Calvary's cross. Dying is the great substitute
for his people. God always provides at the right
time. Let's go back to our text. God always provides at the right
time, doesn't He? Just as a knife was going to
fall into Isaac, God provided a lamb. Look at Genesis 22, we're starting
verse 6. And Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering and
laid it upon Isaac his son. And he took the fire in his hand
and the knife, and they went both of them together. And Isaac
spake unto Abraham his father and said, My father, and he said,
Here am I, my son. And he said, Behold the fire
and the wood, but where is the lamb for a burnt offering? And
Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a
burnt offering. So they went both of them together.
And they came to the place which God had told him of. And Abraham
built an altar there. and laid the wood in order, and
bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar upon the wood.
And Abraham stretched forth his hand, and took the knife to slay
his son. Just as the knife was going to
fall, what happens? And the angel of the Lord called
unto him out of heaven, and said, Abraham, Abraham. And he said,
Here am I. And he said, Lay not thy hand upon the lad, neither
do thou anything to him, for I know that thou fearest God.
Seeing now has not withheld thy son, thine only son from me.
And Abraham lifted up his eyes and looked and behold, behind
him a ram caught in the thicket by the horns. And Abraham went
and took the ram and offered him up for a burnt offering in
the stead of his son. And Abraham called the name of
that place Jehovah Jireh, as it is said to this day, in the
mouth of the Lord it shall be seen. Remember when we studied about
our Lord and the ship while the storm raged around about them? And when He was entered into
a ship, His disciples followed Him, and behold, there arose
a great tempest in the sea, and so much that the ship was covered
with the waves. But He was asleep, and the disciples
came to Him, and awoke Him, saying, Lord, save us, or we'll perish. At that perfect time. And he said unto them, why are
ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then he rose and rebuked the
winds and the sea, and there was a great calm. But the man
marveled, what manner of man is this, that even the winds
and the sea obey him? God brings sometimes a great
tempest in the saint's life. He does when he's drawn us to
himself, doesn't he? Remember the great tempest that
was in our lives when God was revealing the gospel to us? when we see the law and justice
hanging over us? And he calms the storm of our
soul, doesn't he? And has he not calmed the storm
that was raging about the believer? We're born again by the Holy
Spirit of God and granted faith to believe on the Lord Jesus
Christ. Did we not hear our shepherd's
voice calling to us through the preaching of the gospel? And
by God's grace, we look to Him. We look to Him who is the only
provision for our souls. No other provision. The angel of the Lord called
unto him out of heaven and said, Abraham, Abraham. And he said,
here am I. Lay not thy hand upon the line. Neither did thou anything unto
him. For now I know that thou fearest God, seeing thou hast
not withheld thy son, thine only son, from me. Christ dies in
our room instead. We're clothed in his perfect
righteousness, and the law and justice of God have no claim
on us. But God's law must be satisfied,
right? And Abraham lifted up his eyes
and looked, and behold, him a ram caught in the thicket by his
horns. And Abraham went out and took the ram and offered him
for a burnt offering in the stead of his son. Christ comes to this world to
be an offering for sin, for the sins of his people. And we are set free like Isaac
is. And like the ram that died in Isaac's place, Christ dies
in our place, beloved. Let we who are the redeemed of
the Lord leave here with this sweet title of God upon our lips. Jehovah Jireh. The Lord will
provide. This sweet title tells us, and
we've seen today in our text, That we believers can always
trust God in all things. All things. There's nothing too
small to take to our King. Nothing. And we've also seen that no promises
of His ever fails. And that He does all things well.
for our good and for His glory. And out of all that seeming loss
and destruction of human hopes, He brings blessing. He brings
us to an end of ourselves, doesn't He? Oh my, what a Savior, what a
Redeemer is Jesus Christ our Lord.
