Genesis 22:14 And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovahjireh: as it is said to this day, In the mount of the LORD it shall be seen. In the season of extremity, God appears for the relief of His people. 1. Severe trials are intended to prove the strength and purity of our faith. The Christian must walk by faith, not sight. 2. And may not another reason be, to stir us up to fervency in prayer? 3. We may also add, that the hand of God appears more obviously when He delivers just at the crisis of danger. Lesson: We need never despair of Divine help when we are pursuing the path of Christian obedience. (D. C. Lansing, D. D.)
