We often talk about God as Jehovah Jireh and understand this as a name of God (God our provider) or a place (of provision). If we understand Jireh as God seeing us and seeing to it that He provides we find a link between Hagar's story in Gen 16 and Abraham's story in Gen 22. God's provision is not a transaction. He sees us and sees to it that He provides. This is relationship rather than transaction.
