The One Who Sees Ahead and Provides

Daily bread Cantina Customs-001

In the 22nd chapter of Genesis, Abraham proclaims the faithfulness of God to provide by calling Him;    Jehovah-Jireh (Gen. 22:14):   a Hebrew name that literally means; The Lord will see to it.  We would say The One Who provides.

Each part represents something that was originally destroyed. Part of what was once whole, now fragmented, fractured, scattered; then re-gathered into something wonderful that previously didn’t exist in the world. This to me is how I believe God sees every human heart.

Ezekiel 36:26 says “I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will
