This is the third painting in a series that I did a few years ago on the various on sale names of God used to describe his dealings with his people. The name Jehovah Jireh is used after God provided a ram instead of Isaac for Abraham to sacrifice. "So Abraham called that place The Lord Will Provide. And to this day it is said, 'On the mountain of the Lord it will be provided.' " (Genesis 22:14)
I've used sparrows bringing a praying man leaves and twigs as a symbol of God providing for our needs. I am not only the man, but the sparrow in this picture. God provides for my needs, and then I can go out and serve and provide for someone else.
Jesus said:
"Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God." -Luke 12:6
"Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?" -Matthew 6:26
I began this painting as a live demo at a book signing event for the children's novel Abel's Song which I illustrated. I later completed it in oil back at the studio. The painting is on 1.5" deep gallery wrap canvas with sides painted black and a wire on the back for easy hanging without any additional framing needed.
