Jireh by Elevation & Maverick City has been looping through my brain for the last few weeks. Every time I listen to it, I feel like the Lord reveals new layers throughout! It’s filled with references to Scripture that bring comfort and build up faith; God reveals areas in my life where I need to be growing in trust as I release “control” of them; my true identity in Christ is called out; layers upon layers of God’s love and care for me being shown throughout it.
Jehovah Jireh means “the Lord will provide” and it traces back to when God provided a ram for Abraham to sacrifice instead of his son Isaac. You can find that story in Genesis 22:1-18.
Sometimes God leads us into situations that don’t make sense… scratch that, a LOT of the time God leads us into the inexplicable unknown.
Which can lead to us rejecting the things God has for us because it’s too much for us to process or it can lead us deeper in our trust of God; it can lead to the Lord actually showing us how well he knows to take care of us!
I encourage you to have a listen to this song today and to reflect on the ways you see God at work in your life. If things are feeling pretty dry, think back and remember what God has done/spoken/revealed to you in the past! And if this is all pretty new to you and you have no reference point, begin to dream and build up hope for what you’d like to see God, Jehovah Jireh, do for you.
I’ll never be more loved than I am right now
Wasn’t holding You up so there’s nothing I can do to let You down
Doesn’t take a trophy to make You proud
I’ll never be more loved than I am right now
Going through a storm but I won’t go down
I hear Your voice carried in the rhythm of the wind to call me out
You would cross an ocean so I wouldn’t drown
You’ve never been closer than You are right now
Jireh You are enough
Jireh You are enough
I will be content in every circumstance
Jireh You are enough
Don’t wanna forget how I feel right now
On the mountaintop I can see so clear what it’s all about
Stay by my side when the sun goes down
Don’t wanna forget how I feel right now
I’m already loved
I’m already chosen
I know who I am
I know what You’ve spoken
I’m already loved
More than I could imagine
And that is enough
That is enough
You are enough
So I am enough
If He dresses the lilies with beauty and splendor
How much more will He clothe you
How much more will He clothe you
If He watches over every sparrow
How much more does He love you
How much more does He love you
More than you ask, think or imagine
According to His power working in us
It’s more than enough
