GOOD FRIDAY SERVICE CANCELLED

The church is without power so there will be NO Good Friday Service. We will have to see about Easter as they say it might be 3 days to fix. We will see about that though.

I will send another posting regarding Easter Sunday. Pray that the power comes back on!

God Our Provider

Yet God is more than Jehovah. He is Jehovah- jireh, Jehovah-tsidkenu, Jehovah-nissi, Jehovah-raah, Jehovah-rapha, Jehovah- shalom, Jehovah-sabaoth, Jehovah-shammah, Jehovah-mekoddishkem. What do these names mean? By being compounded with Jehovah, each one of them shows us that the very essence of God’s Being is to love, to give, to be more than self-constrained.

As the self-existent one, God desires to meet the needs of those He created in His own image. Thus, He becomes Jehovah our provider, Jehovah our shepherd, Jehovah that sanctifies us, and so on. He reaches beyond Himself because it is part of His character to do so. As you and I take on His character more and more, we will reach out beyond ourselves to manifest to others what He is to us.

The first of these compound names we will look at is Jehovah-jireh, “the Lord will provide.” The word for provide, jireh, in the Old Testament literally means “to see.” But how do Hebrew scholars get “provide” out of it? Since He is God, when He sees, He foresees. Our all-knowing, ever-present, eternal Father knows the end from the beginning and, thus, in His omniscience, He provides.

Not only has Jehovah foreseen your need for salvation and made provision through the death and resurrection of His Son, but He also sees your day-by-day needs, as we read in Matthew 6:7-8.

O Beloved, Jehovah-jireh is bidding us to come. We are coming to the One who is for us! “He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how will He not also with Him freely give us all things?” (Romans 8:32). At Calvary, through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, “my God shall supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:19).

He is a God who is for you, not against you. You can worship Jehovah-jireh in obedience and know that whatever you need, the Lord will provide it.

Recall a time in your walk with Jehovah-jireh when He met your need because He saw you

God the Self-Existent One

Of all the names of God, Jehovah is the name most frequently used in the Old Testament—6,823 times, in fact!

The name of Jehovah is derived from havah, which means “to be, to become.” Therefore, Jehovah speaks to God’s being or essence.

Jehovah is the self-existent One—“I AM WHO I AM” (Exodus 3:13-­15). He is the eternal I AM, the Alpha and the Omega, the same yesterday, today, and forever. All of life is contained in Him. Why do we look elsewhere? Why do we not rest in His unchangeableness? He has never failed. Would He begin with me or you? He cannot. He is Jehovah, the self-existent, covenant-keeping God.

Although Jehovah was used as early as Genesis 2:4, it wasn’t until God’s revelation to Moses in Exodus 3 that the Israelites understood that this name went with God’s covenant promise to His people. Exodus 6:2-4 says, “I am the Lord [Jehovah]; and I appeared to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, as God Almighty [El Shaddai], but by My name, Lord [Jehovah], I did not make Myself known to them. And I also established My covenant with them, to give them the land of Canaan, the land in which they sojourned.”

Jehovah fulfilled the covenant He had made with Abraham regarding the land of Canaan. Therefore, the Israelites returned to Canaan after four hundred years of bo***ge in Egypt (Genesis 15:13-21). God revealed Himself to His covenant people as the unchanging God who remains faithful throughout many generations.

When you need assurance that God is there, that He will keep His promises without changing—even though you have wavered in your promises to Him—run to your Jehovah. Trust in His name. It can’t change because He can’t change. He is Jehovah—the same yesterday, today, and forever (Hebrews 13:8).

Lord, I thank you for keeping Your promises to me. Why would I ever look elsewhere for peace?

God Your Creator

One of the names of God in the Old Testament is Elohim. This name designates God as God. Deuteronomy 10:17 says, “The Lord your God [Elohim] is the God of gods....” El means “mighty” or “strong” and is used for any reference to gods, including Almighty God.

If God is the Creator of all things, who has given us life? Elohim, of course! And why were we created? For Him! You are a unique creation of God, one of a kind, created for His glory. He “didst form my inward parts.” He “didst weave me in my mother’s womb.... I am fearfully and wonderfully made” (Psalm 139:13-14). Have you ever thought of yourself as being fearfully and wonderfully made? Or do you look at yourself and despise what Elohim has created?

Remember when “Moses said to the Lord, ‘Please, Lord, I have never been eloquent, neither recently nor in time past, nor since Thou hast spoken to Thy servant; for I am slow of speech and slow of tongue’ ” (Exodus 4:10)?

What was the Lord’s reply? “Who has made man’s mouth? Or who makes him dumb or deaf, or seeing or blind? Is it not I, the Lord?” (Exodus 4:11).

Oh, Beloved, if you are unhappy with yourself, with your child, or with a loved one, run into the strong tower of the name of your Elohim (Proverbs 18:10). You may not understand how your situation could ever bring Him glory, but you can trust in the name of your Lord.

According to Isaiah 43, Elohim, the one who made man (male and female, Genesis 1:27) in His image, created you for His glory. Can you see how awesome it is to know that you have been created for God’s glory? That you are to live in such a way as to give all of creation a correct estimate of who God is? What does that mean to you, O child of God, who is called by His name? Think about it. How would you live if you were to live for His glory?

O Father, show us Your glory! Proclaim Your name! O Lord, we want to know You...by name. Amen
