God who are you?
I AM…
God where are you?
I’m right here child.
God I’m afraid.
Do not fear or be afraid I am with you…
Put all your trust, all your faith in me, child. I will not leave you. I will give you beauty for ashes…I put my seal upon you, You are mine!
When the Israelites came out of Egypt they had been slaves. 430 years-Ex. 12:40
God made them Conquerors.
When David faced Goliath, he was not alone…
God’s hand pitched that stone.
When Gideon was a no body…
God called him, highly favored, a mighty man of valor…
When baby Moses was put in the Nile River…God watched over him and saved him through the compassion of a queen…
Daniel was put in a den with hungry lions…God shut up their mouths and they didn’t even growl at him. God spared Daniels life…astounding those who wanted him killed.
Peter walked on water with Jesus…Paul was beaten and thrown in prison but God sent an angel to unlock the prison door and set him free…
Evil came looking for the Son of God even before his birth, to murder him.
God chose Mary and Joseph to protect the child, the very essence of God. To fulfill the promise that Messiah had come…
God loved them all…
God loves you.
There is no difference between them and you…
But where you place your trust will determine your outcome.
God is not looking for superheroes, modern-day technology or tech-savvy guru’s.
God is looking for you!
In our time-frame He’s been looking for a long time…time is relative with God…
He never changes…He is the same today as he was yesterday and forever. He’s in all places at the same time and in the past, present and the future…
Now that may cause you a brain boggling attack, but let’s just say, God is not me and God is not you. God is God and because he’s God he can do all kinds of cool stuff…like being everywhere at one time, or in one place at one time, or everyplace all the time.
He is father, protector, life giver, He is love and joy and peace…He is wisdom and understanding, he is provider and way-maker, He is truth and He is, I AM…He is helper and He is friend, He is calling and He is always and forever…He is healer and He is judge…He is the beginning and He is the end…He is life and He is death…He is savior and He is intercessor, He is councilor, He is all that you can imagine…He does not lie, He does not change and He keeps his promises…He is covenant and He is artist and developer, He is mathematician, He is light and He is darkness…He is space and He is matter…He is Spirit, He is Holy, He is Word, He is Bread, He is Water and Air and Salt…He is Master and King; He is YHWH!!!
We cannot put YHWH in a box or even in a Universe, because He is beyond the Universe. Our minds cannot comprehend HIM!
Yet, He gave us His Spirit to live inside of us…He allows us to hear his still small voice so that we may communicate with Him…if we open our hearts to Him…in every generation He is known…He has his children and His children have him.

[“Let them praise the name of the LORD: for his name alone is excellent; his glory [is] above the earth and heaven.” Psalm 148:13
In the Old Testament times, a name was not only identification, but an identity as well. Many times a special meaning was attached to the name. Names had, among other purposes, an explanatory purpose (e.g., Nabal, whose name means “fool,” is the target of Abigail’s explanation to David: “For as his name is, so is he; Nabal is his name, and folly is with him:” – 1Sa 25:25). Throughout Scripture God reveals Himself to us through His names. When we study these names that He reveals to us in the Bible, we will better understand who God really is. The meanings behind God’s names reveal the central personality and nature of the One who bears them.
Who is God to you?
Is He your Most High God, All sufficient One, Master, Lord of Peace, the Lord Who Will Provide? Is He your Father? We must be careful not to make God into an “it” or a “thing” to which we pray. He is our Jehovah Raah, the Lord our Shepherd. God knows us by our name, shouldn’t we know Him by His?
Hallowed be Your name?
| To hallow a thing is to make it holy or to set it apart to be exalted as being worthy of absolute devotion. To hallow the name of God is to regard Him with complete devotion and loving admiration. God’s name is of the utmost importance (Neh 9:5); therefore we ought reserve it a position of grave significance in our minds and hearts. We should never take His name lightly (Exd 20:7; Lev 22:32), but always rejoice in it and think deeply upon its true meaning.] (Blue Letter Bible study tools make reading, searching and studying the Bible easy and rewarding.) |
