“And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovah–jireh: as it is said to this day, In the mount of the Lord it shall be seen.”
Abraham calls that place the LORD Will Provide — Yahweh Yireh — and to this day it is said on the mountain of the LORD it will be provided. The naming of the place is Abraham's testimony — the mountain receives the name of what happened on it. The phrase on the mountain of the LORD it will be provided echoes forward to every subsequent provision of God on that mountain. 2 Chronicles 3:1 identifies Moriah as the site of Solomon's temple — built on the mountain where Abraham learned that the LORD provides. The application: name the places where God has provided. Return to them. Let the name of the place testify to the character of God to every subsequent generation.
