Elohim – Creator

“El” means mighty or strong. “Him” is a plural ending in Hebrew. Elohim indicates the Trinity – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

Gen 1:26 “Then God (Elohim) said “Let Us make man in Our image.” God created me. I exist because of God. He who formed the swirling galaxies, blazing stars, and the orbiting planets also formed me.

Isaiah 43:1, 3, 4, 7
Thus says the Lord, your Creator “I am the Lord your God (Elohim) you are precious in My sight. Everyone who is called by My name and whom I have created for my glory whom I have formed, even whom I have made.

As your creation, I have no right to do as I please. You created me for Your flory. I am to give an accurate opinion of who you are. This brings You glory. This I do as I live my everyday, ordinary life according to and in agreement with Your will.

I cannot do this in myself. I must trust Your Holy Spirit who abides in me, to empower and motivate me. I sit here surrounded by the beauty of your creation with the chorus of birds waking to a new day. I, too, want to add my song of praise to Elohim, my Creator!

I praise You that You formed me in my mother’s womb. I am fearfully and wonderfully made. You planned me and my life. You have a purposeful reason for my existence. You revealed Yourself to me. You redeemed me from certain death. You have given me a hunger to know You better. You have called me to intercessory prayer and given me the gift of encouraging others.

I desire to follow the example of the rainbow. As the sun shines through a prism, the brightest colors are in the direct line of the sun. The dimmer ones are not quite in perfect alignment. I want to be all that You have created me to be. To be a bright beautiful light for You that brings Your glory and blesses others too.

I trust You to keep me in direct line so Your SON will shine in me and through me.

More than Enough

July 3, 2004

“More than Enough” sung by the Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir. The words to this song belong in this book of Your Names. It ministers to my soul
“Jehovah Jirah, my provider. You are more than enough for me.
Jehovah Raphe, you’re my healer. By your stripes I’ve been set free.
Jehovah shamma, You are with me. You supply all my needs.
You are more than enough for me. You are more than enough. You are more than enough for me!

El Elyon – The God Most High.

July 2, 2004
El Elyon – The God Most High.

Duet 4:34…I praised and worshiped the Most High God and honored the One who lives forever. His rule is everlasting. His kingdom is eternal. He has power to do as He pleases, among the angels of heaven and those who live on the earth (that means me).

Daniel 2:20-23 (NLT)
God alone has all wisdom and power. He determines the course of world events. He removes kings and sets others on the throne. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the scholars. He reveals deep and mysterious things and knows what is hidden in darkness, though He himself is surrounded by light.

Duet 32:39
There is no other God than Me. I Am the One who kills and gives life. I am the One who wounds and heals. No one delivers from My power.

As I ponder on these and other verses that speak of Your sovereignty, I am awed that You take notice of me. Yet because of Your sovereign nature, You are completely in control of all that is going on in Iraq. The problems of controlling the terrorism and setting up a government of the people. You took Saddam Hussein out of power and You will set up the new government. You placed George Bush in power and You will keep him there until his job is done.

I recognize that I am just exactly where you want me. My life and times are in Your very capable hands. Thank you for reminding me once again of Your love and care.

Isaiah 45:4 (NLT) “I will be your God (Jean) throughout your lifetime until your hair is white with age. I made you and I will care for you. I will carry you along and save you.”

I bow to Your sovereignty. I acknowledge that I can do nothing in my own strength. You may have to literally “carry me” through to the end of my days. I accept that – if it is from you. Keep me ever mindful of who you are – as I continue to delve deeper into Your character. Mold me knot the image of Your Son.
