Provider of Love and Belonging

 Jehovah Jireh: Our Provider

Provider of Love and Belonging

Ecclesiastes 4:9-12 Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their toil. For if they fall, one will lift up his fellow. But woe to him who is alone when he falls and has not another to lift him up! Again, if two lie together, they keep warm, but how can one keep warm alone? And though a man might prevail against one who is alone, two will withstand him—a threefold cord is not quickly broken. (ESV)

Love doesn’t keep a record of Wrong

Jehovah Jireh is a God of forgiveness. He provides forgiveness to all who ask for it. Human beings often tend to remember all the wrong that someone does, but God throws it into the bottom of the sea never to be found again. Micah 7:19 You will again have compassion on us; you will tread our sins underfoot and hurl all our iniquities into the depths of the sea. (NIV) All we have to do is confess our sins to God and He will forgive. He keeps no records of wrong if we truly seek His forgiveness.

Love hates evil but loves Truth

 Jehovah Jireh provides His children with truth for in Him all truth is found. He cannot lie and therefore, we can be confident in His matchless love. We show love by obeying the word of God and in so doing, we are able to love one another. 2 John 6  And this is love that we walk in obedience to his commands. As you have heard from the beginning, his command is that you walk in love. (NIV) Evil cannot stand in the presence of God and this was why Lucifer had to be kicked out of Heaven. Jehovah Jireh is the Provider of Truth whereas the devil can only spew out lies because there is no truth in him. John 8:44 You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desire. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies. (NIV)

 Love Protects

Jehovah Jireh provides protection for those who belong to Him. Some may interpret this as to say that no harm will ever come to their physical bodies. However, that is not always the case. Jehovah Jireh’s protection sometimes mean that He will safeguard your spirit even when the physical body is encountering persecution. 2 Corinthians 4:8-9 We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; stuck down, but not destroyed. (NIV) Jehovah Jireh will keep us spiritually strong despite those who may persecute us physically, emotionally, and/or spiritually. Love protects while hate destroys.

Love Trusts

Jehovah Jireh provides us with Trust in Him. We can be sure that he will never lie or deceive us in any way. He is the one person with whom we can have complete and total trust in. He never disappoints as man is prone to do. Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight. (NIV) Jehovah Jireh provides us with the means to trust Him and in so doing, shows us a model for the way we are to be trusting in others.

Love Hopes

Jehovah Jireh provides His children with hope. When you have you, you can have peace and joy despite whatever obstacles may come your way. This is done by putting and faith and trust in God. Romans 15:13 May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. (NIV) All of our hope is to be in Jehovah Jireh and we can offer hope to others as an act of love for those who may not see that any hope exists.

Love Perseveres

Jehovah Jireh provides His children with the ability to persevere in Him. So many Christians are being persecuted in other countries, but they are remaining firm in God. How is that? It is only through Jehovah Jireh that they can stand strong during the worst of times. Therefore, they will receive a great reward in the end for persevering and showing their love for God. James 1:13 Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him. (NIV)

Love Never Fails

Jehovah Jireh is the God of Love. He provides us with all the love that we will ever need through Him. His love is enduring and it never fails. Where people fail and have conditions on their love, Jehovah Jireh’s love remains constant. Psalm 136:1 Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good. His love endures forever. (NIV)

Jehovah Jireh provides  Healthy Relationships

Jehovah Jireh knew that man would need companionship, so He created a world where people would be able to thrive in their relationships with each other. This is why it is important to understand the love that He provides, so that we can show who He is to one another.

Friend of God – John 15:15 I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master's business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you. (NIV)

Friend in each other – Proverbs 18:24 A man of many companions may come to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother. (NIV)

Husband and Wife – Ephesians 5:22,25 ⁽²²⁾Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord. ⁽²⁵⁾Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her…(NIV)

               Jehovah Jireh is the Provider of Love and loving relationships. All we have to do is place our trust in Him and allow Him to guide us. No one can truly understand and be open to receive love unless they know the Provider of it.
