Yahweh is 100% for us. He is also 100% provision. Pro- vision: to see ahead.
But of course Yahweh is provision. He saw ahead a long time ago, from the creation of the world, when He knew how history would play out. In seeing ahead, He saw what each of us would need and He placed it in our paths so that we could, when we were ready and when we could most use it, find it.
He saw, at the beginning and end of time, that I would one day need to understand that self and identity are at odds with one another and could not occupy the same place. He placed meaning in words in a language so old nobody is even sure what it was exactly, and preserved it through the generations and many evolutions of languages to modern English. He did this with two (actually five or six) words so that I, thousands of years after the original meaning of this word was lost to common speech, might find it and SEE.
That I, then, might see ahead, or back, to the beginning, having my own provision, which I might share with others who have their own provision, that all of creation might be...provided for.
And I am grateful. HalleluYah!
