GOD'S NAMES


Good morning to you!

This will be a very busy day for us. Our son and family are supposed to come tomorrow. I am so excited. But I don't know for sure yet. Do I clean or not? Do I shop for all the groceries they need or not? I will have to depend on the Lord to do what I need to do. And then we are going out tonight so that is 4 or 5 hours that I won't have to clean.

                    Lead me in your truth and teach me 
                    because you are Elohim, my savior. 
                             I wait all day long for you.
                                        Psalm 25:5

O Yahweh, our Adonay, how majestic 
is your name throughout the earth! 
Psalm 8:1

A new Bible has come out. It is The Names of God Bible. Most English translations of the Bible refer to the Creator with just a handful of well-known terms: God, Lord, and LORD. But behind these titles is a wide range of colorful and evocative Hebrew and Aramaic names for God—names like Yahweh, El Shadday, El Elyon, and Adonay.

While the titles “God” and “Lord” are perfectly acceptable translations, they have the effect of obscuring the variety of the original titles and names used to describe God. So, this translation restores thousands of names and titles to their Hebrew equivalent. The result is a unique reading experience in which you’ll see how the authors of Scripture referred to the living God who inspired and rescued them.

I thought this was really great. To me it adds greatness to God. Not that He wasn't great already but I guess it adds another dimension to the One True God and His awesome Word.

We don't tend to learn all the names of God. Years ago, there was a song out that worshiped God with all His names. I don't know who sang it or when for sure it was, but it was a great song. I think that I tried to find it once before but couldn't. I will try to find it and post it here now. Pause...Well, I can't find it. It was probably 10 years or so ago. I will keep searching for it and post it then. It was really cool a blessing!

Have a wonderful day praising God!

Choosing Jesus Every Day: Don't Be Lazy

...to those who have been sanctified in Christ Jesus, saints by calling, with all who in every place call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, their Lord and ours: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Corinthians 1:2b-3 Source: https://bible.knowing-jesus.com/topics/Greetings And to us all! I have not written here in 5 months. Forgive me! Life is so busy these days. My husband, Bert, and I thought retirement would be less busy and more, well retired. But that is okay! I believe we are following the path that God wants us on at this time of our lives and that He knows best. So, praise be to our God and Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit, for His great guidance! My devotion this morning was very interesting. Bert and I have had this conversation many times when he was still working full time and pastoring. We discussed the fact that our house needs attention. A house will fall if it is not taken care of. And, of course, he was work...

VICTORY

Saturday Good morning to you! The beach is waiting. I can't wait to get away. To rest. To regenerate. To be revived. And sometimes we just need to get away from our daily routine in order to do that. Get away from the phone and stuff like that. Unfortunately, with cell phones, these days we don't get away from the calls. It never fails that we go on vacation and always someone calls about my husband's work, either a person that works for him or someone wanting to get work done. But in all reality that is good. It means that the business is not dead. Praise the Lord for that! The beach does so much for me. I have the best time and the most relaxing time at the beach. I guess it is in my blood. I was born at the beach (a town at the beach). I lived near the beach for about 15 of my growing up years. My grandparents built a house in Malibu, CA overlooking the ocean when I was a kid. (When I find the picture I will post it.) So, I feel like I belong there and I...

DROUGHT

Image
  Good morning to you! Has it been raining where you are? It rained pretty good last night here. We need it. Actually we will take it all just so we aren't in the drought category. I saw on the weather yesterday that a lot of the country is in a severe drought.  Are you in a severe drought spiritually? I hope not but if you are, here are some scriptures that might help. Look to the LORD and his  strength; seek his face always. 1 Chronicles 16:11 The LORD is my strength and  my song; he has become my salvation.  He is my God, and I will praise him,  my father's God, and I will exalt him. Exodus 15:2 So do not fear, for I am with you;  do not be dismayed, for I am your  God. I will strengthen you and help you;  I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.   Isaiah 41:10 Do you not know? Have you not heard?  The LORD is the everlasting God, the  Creator of the ends of the e...
