If you would open your Bibles
again to Genesis 22, portion of Brother Eric read for us. I'll tell you, I don't know if
I should have a favorite Old Testament picture of Christ,
but I do. And this is it. This page is
just wore out in my Bible. I just often read it. This glorious picture of substitution. And where we find the name that
will continue in our study, the names of the Lord this evening,
Jehovah Jireh, the Lord will provide. Now, the Jews say that
Abraham had 10 great trials, and each of those trials were
very difficult. And this is the last one, the
hardest trial of them all. And by no means do I want to
minimize the trial. We're not going to spend much
time looking at the trial itself. Because in this chapter, as great
as this trial is, the trial of Abraham's faith is not the main
message of this passage of scripture. This is the most difficult of
all Abraham's trials because the Lord is going to use this
trial to give Abraham and to give us a clear view of salvation
through Christ our substitute. Now, throughout most of this
story, you know it well, Abraham is a type of God the Father.
And Isaac is a picture of Christ. Abraham is a type of the Father,
first of all, because both God the Father and Abraham have one
son. God gave Abraham a commandment
to offer his only son as a burnt offering to God, just like the
Father has one son, his only begotten son. It's the son of
his love, the son in whom he's well pleased. Now some of them
will say, and they're right, Abraham has two sons. And they're
right, he does have two sons. But Isaac is Abraham's only son
with Sarah. Isaac is the promised seed. Isaac is the heir. He's the son. Ishmael's been put out. Isaac
is the only son. And in this sense, God has many
sons in that he's given many people spiritual life. But God
only has one. eternal Son. God has one obedient
Son by nature. His eternal Son, the Lord Jesus
Christ. And that one Son must be sacrificed. God told Abraham, take thy son. Abraham can't take goats or sheep
or bullock. Can't take something that can
be replaced. If you sacrifice a lamb, you
can get another one of those. Abraham, take your son. Take
your son. Take what costs you. And Abraham,
it can't be money. Abraham had plenty of money.
God didn't tell him, take money. You can't take something that
is earned. Salvation is something that's
given. You can't take money. Abraham, take your son. And it
can't be Ishmael. It can't be the son of the bondwoman. Abraham, take your only son.
The promised son. This sacrifice must be your only
son, something so precious to you, it's irreplaceable. An irreplaceable sacrifice had
one son. Second, Abraham was a type of
the father in that both God the Father and Abraham were the very
ones who would put their only son to death. God gave Abraham
a commandment to take his son Isaac and sacrifice him. And
Abraham didn't waste any time. Abraham got up early in the morning.
I doubt he could sleep. He got up early in the morning
and he personally got everything ready that was necessary for
the sacrifice. Abraham went and got the knife
and he probably sharpened it up on a whetstone that morning. He got the knife, the instrument
to put his son to death. Abraham didn't send a servant
to collect the wood. Abraham went and collected the wood.
Abraham cut that wood so everything would be in order to burn the
body of his son to a crisp. And Abraham got everything ready
and he got the fire, that symbol of God's wrath burning against
sin. And Abraham said, let's go worship
the Lord. God the Father didn't waste time
in sending his son to be the sacrifice for sin. Now, I know
he waited roughly 4,000 years of human history. But God sent
His Son at the exact moment, ordained from all of eternity,
to appear to be the sacrifice for sin. And when Christ did
appear, what did John the Baptist shout? Behold, the Lamb of God
that taketh away the sin of the world. His sacrifice is going
to take the sin of the world away when the Father puts Him
to death. Well, not the Romans are going
to put Him to death. The Jews are going to put Him to death.
The Father is going to take the sword of justice plunging into
his son. The Father put him to death.
Third, Abraham was the type of the Father in that both God the
Father and Abraham directed every step of the sacrifice of their
son. When Abraham said, let's go worship
the Lord, Abraham led the way to Mount Moriah. He took them
there. He didn't go another way. He
didn't look to get out of this. Abraham led the way to Mount
Moriah. In verse 5, Abraham told his servants, he said, you buy
here with the ass. I'm the latter going to go yonder
and worship. We're going to come again to you, but you stay here.
He gave the instructions that were followed to a T. Those men
stayed there. So Abraham and Isaac came back. And Abraham gave instruction
to Isaac, too. Ultimately, he gave instruction
to Isaac. In verse 9, they came to the
place which God had told him of, and Abraham built an altar
there. He laid the wood in order, and he found Isaac, his son,
and laid him on the altar upon the wood. Something happened
between verse 8 and 9. Something happened when Abraham
told his son, My son, God will provide himself with land for
the burnt offering. So they put both of them together.
Something happened between there and when Isaac was laid on that
wood. Abraham told Isaac what to do. This is the commandment
of the father. And Isaac obeyed his father because
Abraham was directing every step. Abraham was in charge of the
sacrifice of his son. Just like our Lord. Every event
that led to the crucifixion of our Savior was directed by the
father himself. Those Jewish leaders didn't plot
and trick and trap our Lord and finally get their way to put
him to death. The Father did that. Rome didn't get its wish
to put away this one who might be a threat to the throne. Satan
didn't get his way. Satan wasn't behind the scenes
directing this thing so that the Son of God would be put to
death. That mob gathered. Now, I know Satan was in their
midst and moving with him, but that mob gathered to do whatsoever
thy hand and thy counsel determined before to be done. This was the
doing of the Father. God spared not his own son, but
God delivered him up for us all. God delivered him up to be the
sacrifice for sin. And fourth, Abraham is a type
of the father, and that neither God the Father nor Abraham in
this passage of scripture show any remorse or any hesitation
to sacrifice their son. Now, I know beyond a shadow of
a doubt, Abraham's soul was I mean, I can't imagine. His heart was
broken. He walked for three days thinking
about putting his own son to death. He probably thought, this
is more than I can bear. I cannot bear this. And if I
can bear it, how am I ever going to walk down this mountain, walk
three days back home and tell Sarah, I killed your son. God told me to sacrifice your
son, and I did. How's he going to tell her that?
How's he going to tell these heathen that live around me?
I sacrificed my son. Human sacrifice. How am I going
to tell? This is more than I can bear. I know these things went through
Abraham's mind and his heart. Yet scripture, on purpose, does
not record any of that. Records no hesitation. Because
Abraham is a picture of God the Father, who had no hesitation
and no remorse in sacrificing his son for sin, when sin was
laid upon his son. Now, I read some writers that
I often read, men I value their writings highly, and one of them
talked about the emotion of the father, how it broke the father's
heart to sacrifice his son. I don't know anything about that. As far as I can tell, it does
not back that up. I don't know anything about God having emotions
like you and I have emotions. The only emotion Scripture refers
to that I can find, when it talks about the Father punishing His
Son for sin, is He was pleased. It pleased the Lord to bruise
Him. And I'm thankful. Oh, I'm thankful. If the Father is pleased with
Christ, if the Father is pleased with the sacrifice of Christ,
that he'd be pleased with me and him. And that's the only
way that's possible, is if the father is pleased with the sacrifice
of his son, and he is. Abraham's a picture of the father.
Isaac is a type of Christ through most of this story. Isaac is
a type of Christ from his birth. Isaac's a miracle child. He was
born from the dead womb of his mother, a father too old to bear
children, to have children. The Lord Jesus He's a miracle
child. He didn't just come from a dead
womb of a mother and a father too old to have children. Christ
was born from the womb of a virgin. He had no human father. So he
wouldn't take part in Adam's guilt and Adam's nature. He's
a miracle child. Second, Isaac is a son of promise. God promised Isaac many years
before he appeared. And it seemed like it took a
long time. Sarah and Abraham finally gave up hope. So, well,
you know, let's have go into my handmaid Avishnul. But you
know what? Isaac came at the exact time
God promised he'd come. Exact time. That's got a picture
of the Messiah. The Lord Jesus Christ is the
promised son. He's promised from Genesis 3
all throughout all the Old Testament scriptures. Adam and Eve understood
this promise in Genesis 3. When Eve had came, She thought
she had the Messiah. She said, I've gotten a man from
the Lord. She thought she had the man. They were looking for
this promised son. On this earth, Adam and Eve never
saw him. God's son did not appear immediately. But in the fullness
of time, he appeared just like God promised to take away the
sin of many according to the promise of God. Third Isaac is
a type of Christ because both these sons, God the Son and Isaac,
were sent to Mount Moriah to be sacrificed. Now, when God
gave commandment to Abraham to offer his sons a burnt offering,
God meant for Abraham to take his son to Mount Moriah, slit
his throat, drain the blood out, quarter the body of his son,
and burn it with fire until it was gone. Nothing left but ash.
Now, that's gruesome. There's just no other way of
saying it. That's gruesome. But this is what the Father did to
his son. The father sent his son to this earth to be a burnt
offering for sin. He sent him to be beaten, to
be tortured, to be painfully put to death, to shed his blood
as a payment for God's elect and to be a substitute to bear
the wrath that God's people deserved. And that happened at Mount Moriah. Solomon, years after this happened
with Abraham, built his temple. on Mount Moriah, nearby, I'm
sure, where Isaac was to be slain. And in that temple, many lambs,
many bullocks were slain, many were slain as a picture of one
that was to come. Mount Moriah, later on, would
be renamed Mount Calvary, where Christ himself was sent to be
offered as a sin offering to God. Fourth, Isaac is a picture
of Christ in that both sons carried the wood to their place of death.
In verse 6 in our text, Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering
and he laid it upon Isaac, his son. And Isaac carried that wood
to the place that was supposed to be the place of his death.
Just like our Lord Jesus, he carried the cross. They put that
instrument of his death on his back and he carried it. Those
Roman soldiers didn't lay that burden on him. The father laid
that burden on his back and he carried it. And fifth, Isaac
is a type of Christ because both sons were willing, obedient sons,
willing to be sacrificed to please their father. Now, in this story,
Isaac is no small boy. I know the pictures we see of
a little boy. Isaac's not a little boy. Most
of the writers say he was 33 years old, in the range between
22 and 33. Josephus, who seems to be an
expert in these matters, says he was 33. Whatever age, he's
a full-grown man. It's not possible that old Abraham
could have tied Isaac up and laid him on that altar if Isaac
was unwilling. Isaac had to be willing. He agreed
to do this. And Isaac did not agree passively. Isaac was active in his agreement
in the sacrifice. He had to help put himself on
that altar. Abraham couldn't lift him up
and put him on that altar. He helped put himself on that wood. And that's a picture of God's
Son. His obedience was not passive. He put himself on the altar to
make his soul an offering for sin. He was obedient unto death,
even the death of the cross. Our Lord went to the cross obediently,
and he hung there in obedience to his Father. He could have
come down from the cross. He was physically able to come
down from that cross. The Pharisees were taunting him,
saying, well, he saved others. Himself he cannot save. Let him
now come down from the cross and we'll believe him. He could
have come down from the cross just to show them. But he didn't. Because he's obedient unto death.
He could have called more than 12 legions of angels. But he
didn't. Look over in Matthew 26. This
is where our Lord says this. He didn't call them. because
he's obedient. Matthew 26, verse 52. This is
right after Peter struck the servant of the high priest and
cut his ear off. Then said Jesus unto him, put up again my sword
into its place, for all they that take the sword shall perish
with the sword. Thinkest thou, Peter, I'm not here defenseless.
Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and He shall
presently send me more than twelve legions of angels? But how then
shall the Scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be?" Peter,
if I do this, how am I going to fulfill all the promises of
my Father of becoming Messiah? How am I going to fulfill my
commandment that I received from my Father to be sacrificed for
the sins of my people? He didn't call those twelve legions
of angels. Because he's obedient. He wasn't
just passive in his obedience. He just didn't do, obey his father
because he didn't have another choice. He said, I delight to
do thy will, O God. This was his delight. So Abraham,
the picture of the father. Isaac, the picture of God, the
son. And this sacrifice for sin is a work of the father and the
son alone. Look at verse five back in our
text. Abraham said to his young men, You abide here with the
ass, and I and the lab will go yonder and worship and come again
to you. And Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering, and
he laid it upon Isaac his son, and he took the fire in his hand
and a knife, and they went both of them together. Abraham and
Isaac went alone to offer a sacrifice to God. No servant could go with
them. This is a work for the Father
and the Son. could not be there. I'm sure
Abraham did not tell Sarah anything about this. But even if he did,
Sarah couldn't be there. This is a work between the father
and the son. Our Lord's mother, Mary, we know
from Scripture, she was at the foot of the cross when our Lord
was crucified. But it seems like from reading Scripture that John
took her into his home before the Lord died. Mary had no part
in the atonement. None. She had no part in the
sacrifice. You just avoid, you kids, listen
to me. You avoid that. That's a heresy. You avoid it
like the plague. Mary had nothing to do with the
atonement. This was a work between the Father
and the Son alone. The work to put away sin. And
they went, both of them, together. Both Abraham and Isaac and God
the Father and God the Son went together in complete agreement. Their hearts were one. Their
minds and purpose were one. And when Christ hung on the cross,
He made His soul an offering for sin. God turned the sun off.
Darkness covered the earth. So dark you couldn't see your
hand in front of your face. To show us, no mere man can look
into the things that are going on in this sacrifice. No man
can look behind the veil to see the blood being poured out before
the Father. The sacrifice of Christ was not
offered to you and me. It was offered to the Father
as a payment for sins that were against Him. And the Lord Jesus
Christ took His blood behind the veil where no human eye could
see and transacted this great transaction to put away the sin
of His people between the Father and the Son. And then look at
verse 7. I love this verse. From the time I was a young father,
this was always prayed. My girls would one day ask me
this question. Look at it. Isaac spake unto
Abraham his father, and he said, My father? And he said, Here
am I, my son. And he said, Behold the fire
and the wood. Where is the lamb for the burnt
offering? Where is the lamb for me? Where is the lamb for my
sin? This is the question. Now you
find the answer to this question. You'll find salvation. Where's
the land for the burnt offering? Eric preached a message a couple
of weeks ago, teach them diligently, teach the scriptures, teach the
word diligently to our children. And this verse is great illustration
for why that's so important. Isaac knew God's hope. Where'd he learn that? Abraham
taught him, that's where. Isaac knew that man's sinful.
Isaac knew the only way God can be worshipped is through a blood
sacrifice. Abraham taught him that. He taught
him the story of Cain and Abel from the time he could just knee
high. Isaac knew you cannot, you dare not, worship God without
the blood, a blood sacrifice. But where's the land for the
burnt offering? And look at verse 8, Abraham's answer. Abraham
said, my son, God will provide himself. a land for the burnt
offering. So they went both of them together.
Abraham, as far as we know, hadn't called the name Jehovah Jireh
yet, but he already knew it, didn't he? The Lord, he's going
to provide himself a land for the sacrifice. Abraham didn't
know how the Lord was going to work this situation out, but
he was confident that he would. The Lord's going to provide a
land for the sacrifice. He told his servants, you wait
here, we're coming back. He knew the Lord worked this
out, he just did not know how. And Abraham gave his son a gospel
answer to this great question. The answer to every question
is Christ. This Abraham's answer is Christ.
And his answer has three means. First, God must provide a lamb
for himself. It's got to be a lamb for himself.
Before God can do anything for sinners, God must do something
for himself. Our sin is against God. And in
order for that sin to be put away, there has to be a sacrifice
that will satisfy God, His holy justice. Well, you and I can't
provide a sacrifice like that, because everything we touch is
defiled by sin. So God must provide the land
for Himself, the land that will satisfy His justice, so that
it will allow Him to be just and justifier. Second, God must
provide Himself as the Lamb. In order for sin to be put away,
we need a perfect Lamb, a perfect sacrifice. Well, that can be
none other than the Lord Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God, without
blemish, without spot, sinless and holy. The Lamb, if He's going
to put sin away, must be as holy as God is. So God became the
Lamb for the sacrifice in the person of His Son. And third,
God must provide a lamb for His people. Now God hasn't left people. He's shed His love on those people
from all of eternity. But now they come into this world,
sinners. They're totally depraved and
they are incapable of doing anything, of providing anything that will
satisfy God. So God must provide a lamb for
them. He must provide a lamb as a sacrifice
for His people. And that's His Son, the Lord
Jesus Christ. God has provided everything.
Everything that He requires and everything we need. Now that
answer satisfied Elias. They went both of them together. Does that answer satisfy you?
I'm telling you it does and that answer satisfies me. Christ. I am completely satisfied with
the Lord Jesus Christ. More than just satisfy me, that
answer thrills my soul. God will provide himself a lamb
for the sacrifice. Now up until this moment, Isaac's
been a type of Christ. But all that changes at the moment
when Abraham takes that knife to slit the throat of his son.
All that changes. Look at verse 10. And Abraham
stretched forth his hand It took the night to slay a 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 thine hand upon the lad, neither do thou anything
unto him. For now I know, for now it is
known, Abraham, now you know. Now I know that thou fearest
God, seeing thou hast 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 his 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 mount of the Lord it shall be seen. Now at the moment when
the trial reached its worst point, Abraham wasn't dreading putting
his son to death anymore. In his mind, it was done. The
knife was coming to slit the throat of his precious son at
the moment that trial got at its worst point. Then God sent
deliverance. That same hand that sent the
trial, that cast Abraham down, is the same hand that lifted
him up. But he waited to the breaking point to do it. Then
he sent deliverance. And now Abraham's not a picture
of the father anymore either. Abraham didn't have to put his
only son to death. God did. The Father put his only son to
death. And now Isaac becomes a type
of us, sinners. And that ram becomes a type of
Christ. Abraham and Isaac turned, they saw that ram caught in the
thorn, in the thicket by its horns. And that ram is a picture
of Christ the Savior. Just like last week at the burning
bush, the bushes that grow in this area, are typically thorn
bushes. Everyone seems to think that
ram was caught in a thorn bush. And those thorns are pictures
of the curse of sin. When Adam fell, God cursed the
ground for Adam's sake. He said, it's going to bring
forth thorns and thistles to you. This ram was caught in a
thorn bush, a picture of the curse, by his horns. Those rams, those big curved
horns they have, that's their power. That ram was caught in
the curse. by His power. And that's a picture
of our Lord Jesus Christ. He was not forced by men to go
to Calvary. He was not held to that cross
against His will. He wasn't held there by nails.
He was held there by His power. Our Lord was compelled to go
to the cross because of His power to save His people from their
sins. If His people are going to be redeemed, it's going to
take the power of the blood of the Son of God. He was constrained
by his power to go there. And he was held there in love
and power. Our Lord did not die defeated.
He died in power, putting away the sin of his people. Snared
in that curse, he put it away when he was made a curse for
us. And Isaac's life was spared only because of a substitute. Now the death sentence still
must be carried out. God didn't change the command.
The death sentence must be carried out. Justice still demands death
for sin. So the substitute died and Isaac
went free. Now, I'm sure Isaac had seen
many sacrifices over the course of his lifetime. His father taught
him how to do this so he would know how to do it when he became
the head of his home. He took special interest in this
sacrifice. He watched the blood come out
of that slit throat closely. He watched that ram as his body
was roasted with fire. And he thought that could have
been me. That should have been me. That's the song he sang.
I should have been crucified. That should have been me. But
substitute died in my place. And Isaac, I promise you, he
learned substitution this day. He never got it before. He got
it this day. He had no trouble believing that
Ram died for him, as a substitute for him. He learned about substitution
and he learned about satisfaction. Isaac went up that mountain with
a death sentence on his head and he came down a free man,
free from worry, because that Ram's death satisfied God's commandment. And I'm confident Isaac never
tired Tell him the story. I'm sure people that knew him
as he got old and started repeating himself, they thought, oh boy,
here he goes again. Let me tell you the story of the substitute. Died that I might live. Let me
tell you the story. And this trial was not sent to
Abraham because Abraham did something wrong. Abraham didn't just please
God and God sent this trial to punish him. Whenever you see
a trial come on someone, don't think, well, now they must have
done something to bring this trial on themselves. Not necessarily. God didn't send this trial to
punish Abraham. God sent this trial to make Abraham
glad. Make him glad. When our Lord
said, Abraham saw my day and was glad, he was referring to
this moment. God in his power, he gave Abraham
at this time a clear picture. of the coming Messiah. One old
Scottish writer, I forgot his name, he said the very transaction
which so severely tried the faith of Abraham showed him everything
his faith longed to see. This trial, a horribly hard trial,
was sent to make Abraham glad because it gave him a picture
of Christ and he named the place Jehovah-Jireh. Now, Scripture
gives us seven names of Jehovah, and each of those names describe
a different attribute of our Savior. Jehovah means God, my
Savior. And there are two meanings I
want to show you here, this name Jehovah Jireh. First of all,
it means the Lord will see. Now, for God to see is providing. And when we say, well, I'll see
to it, what we mean is I'll take care of it. Well, that's what
this name Jehovah means. The Lord will take care of it.
He'll take care of the whole matter of salvation. Janet read
me a quote from Mary Bell. She put this on the Internet
the other day. She said, ladies, when a man says he'll take care
of something, he'll take care of it. You'll need to remind
him every six months. I don't have any idea why she
felt like it was funny to me that. But aren't you thankful? Our God's not like us. He'll
see to it. He'll see to it. God already
saw sin and He saw redemption. He saw to redemption before the
world was ever created. Before the world began, God saw
the need of His people. He saw His people under the condemnation
of the law. He saw His people under a death
sentence just like Isaac. God will see to it. So He provided
a substitute. He provided the lamb slain. And
the father sent forth his son, made of a woman, made under the
law, to redeem them that were under the law. He saw to it this
matter of their redemption. And secondly, Jehovah-Jireh means
the Lord will provide. God requires perfect holiness
from every man, woman, and child. If we will ever be in his presence,
God requires perfect holiness. The problem is none of us can
produce a righteousness like that. We can. The only thing
we can produce is perfect sin. That's all we can produce. So
Jehovah-Jireh came to provide the perfect righteousness that
God requires. Jehovah-Jireh came to provide
Jehovah-Sidkenu, the Lord, our righteousness. And that's another
message altogether. But this is what he came to provide,
righteousness, salvation. Jehovah-Jireh provided the lamb.
for the sacrifice that would satisfy God's holy demands. And
that same sacrifice that satisfies God satisfies His people. They love that sacrifice. They
love to hear of it. They love to sing of it. They
love to read of it. We love that. It satisfies God's
elect. And this sacrifice is effectual. It got the job done. Everyone
for whom Christ died will live. just like Isaac lived. If Christ
is your substitute, Jehovah Jireh will see to it. You live eternally. In conclusion, let me give you
this. I told Janice this last night.
If it were up to me, I'd choose not to have the next trial. Just
be perfectly honest with you. But these trials are sent for
our good. This hardest trial of Abraham's life taught Abraham
more about God than he ever knew and taught him something about
God he couldn't have learned any other way. Before the Lord
saves anyone, he will bring that person to a desperate point before
he ever reveals Christ to them. Isaac was sure the death blow
was falling before the Lord ever revealed the ram to him. And
before the Lord saves a person, He's going to make that person
know, I'm lost. I deserve to go to hell eternally. That's exactly what I deserve.
I'm without hope, without help, without God in this world. And
then, at that horrible moment, the Lord reveals Himself in this
name, Jehovah-Jireh. I'll provide. I've already provided
everything you need. The Lord will provide. This is
the name of God who can be trusted, who can be depended upon with
full assurance of faith. Trust Him. Believe Him. Depend
upon Him. And no matter who you are or
where you come from, Christ is not only what you need, He's
everything you need. Look at verse 17 here in our
text. The Lord spoke to Abraham. He
told him, because you've not withheld your son, that in blessing
I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the
stars of heaven, as the sand which is upon the seashore, and
thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies. And in thy seed
shall all nations of the earth be blessed, because thou hast
obeyed my voice." Now that seed is not talking about the nation
Israel. That seed is Christ. Thy seed. All nations of the
earth will be blessed. Our God didn't just provide a
little salvation. He provided plenteous salvation. So much
so, all nations of the earth will be blessed in Him. And to
the child of God, let me give you this. If the Lord provided
the sacrifice for your sin, you reckon He's going to provide
for you in this earth? You think? I think He will, even in the
time of trial, at all times. Jehovah-Jireh is His name at
all times, whether I'm on a mountaintop or I'm in the valley of trouble.
His name is Jehovah-Jireh. He'll provide. And He's going
to provide in such a way that I learned this. The Lord will
provide. He's not going to enable me to
provide. will provide. That answer, that name, satisfies
me. I hope it will you, too. All
right. The Lord bless you.
