YHWH Yireh - Provider
Religious systems can often become ways for us to try to earn God's favor. Abraham's encounter with Yahweh, when he is asked to sacrifice Isaac. In this encounter, Abraham learns that Yahweh is fundamentally different from other gods, that Yahweh doesn't need us. When we understand that Yahweh is Yireh - the Provider, then we are free to serve God to know him better, to find the joy of obedience that leads to a deeper knowledge of and love for God.

How easily do we reduce Jesus’ new life to ‘spirituality’? We think of God’s Kingdom as one area of our lives – what we do on Sundays, or with a small group, or when we’re engaging in religious activities. But Jesus tells us stories that invite us to imagine a Kingdom so big it encompasses our whole lives. A new life that can’t be measured, can’t be quantified because it’s too big, too excellent. This kingdom is worth everything we have and more. It demands everything from us and when we give it all, we wish we could give more. This new life Jesus offers is priceless!
