ALMIGHTY GOD

This week as we praise the Lord as our Almighty God, may we be reminded of the power that comes with that name.

The Hebrew name is El Shaddai. The Holman Illustrated Dictionary defines this name as The Mountain One. I love that image of God has a mighty mountain that towers above us and casts a shadow of protection over us.

Beginning in Genesis this name of God carries throughout the entire Bible all the way through Revelation.

Each of the four living creatures had six wings and was covered with eyes all around, even under its wings. Day and night they never stop saying: “ ‘Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty,’who was, and is, and is to come.” Revelation 4:8

There is coming a day when those whose names are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life will stand before God’s throne and worship Him as Lord God Almighty.

Let’s not wait until that day to praise Him. Let’s take every opportunity to praise Him as God Almighty until that day when we see Him face to face.

Sunday Supplication

Today’s prayer is taken from Jeremiah 32:17-19  …

“Ah, Sovereign LORD, you have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and outstretched arm. Nothing is too hard for you. You show love to thousands but bring the punishment for the parents’ sins into the laps of their children after them. Great and mighty God, whose name is the LORD Almighty, great are your purposes and mighty are your deeds. Your eyes are open to the ways of all mankind; you reward each person according to their conduct and as their deeds deserve.”

 AMEN! SO BE IT!

“The Mighty One, God, the LORD! The Mighty One, God, the LORD! He knows! And let Israel know! If this has been in rebellion or disobedience to the LORD, do not spare us this day. If we have built our own altar to turn away from the LORD and to offer burnt offerings and grain offerings, or to sacrifice fellowship offerings on it, may the LORD himself call us to account.”
