I hope you will join us every week and be sure to let us know how you enjoy the podcast and let others know about it, too. Thanks for listening.

  1. Thanks for joining me today for "A Little Walk with God." I'm your host Richard Agee.
  2. What a beautiful name for God. Jehovah-Jirah, the Lord will provide. Do you believe that today?
  3. Scripture
    1. Genesis 22:13-14
    2. 13 Abraham glanced up and saw a ram behind him with its horns caught in the thicket. He went over, dislodged the ram, and offered it up as a burnt offering in the place of his son. 14 From that day forward, Abraham called that place, “The Eternal One will provide.” Because of this, people still today say, “On the Mount of the Eternal, all will be provided.”
