JEHOVAH ELOHIM

THE LORD IS MY GOD

Zechariah 13:9

"And I will bring the third part through the fire. Refine them as silver is refined. And test them as gold is tested. They will call on My name. And I will listen and answer them. I will say, 'They are My people.' And they will say, 'The LORD is my God.'"

Leviticus 26:11-12

And I will make My dwelling place among you, and My soul will not despise you.

I will walk among you and be your God, and you will be My people.

Jeremiah 30:32

"And you will be My people, and I will be your God."

JEHOVAH NISSI

The LORD Is My Banner

Exodus 17:15

And Moses built an altar and named it The LORD Is My Banner.

Psalm 20:5

We will rejoice in your salvation, And in the name of our God we will set up our banners! May the LORD fulfill all your petitions.

Psalm 60:4

You have raised a banner for those who fear You, that they may flee the bow. Selah.

Song of Solomon 2:4

He brought me to the banqueting house, and his banner over me was love.

JEHOVAH SHALOM

The LORD Is Peace

Judges 6:24

So Gideon built an altar to the LORD there and called it The LORD Is Peace. To this day it stands in Ophrah of the Abiezerites.

Because of Gideon's visit with the angel of the LORD, the messenger from God, he knew the message he had just received was True. (Judges 6:11-22)

In Judges 6:23, the LORD spoke to Gideon and said, " “Peace be with you. Do not be afraid, for you will not die.” 

In wisdom he built an altar to God and worshiped there. For the LORD had given him peace (Peace be with you)

God was with Gideon and Gideon knew immediately the Peace that only God can give.

Is the LORD with you today? Have you received His Peace?

JEHOVAH TSEDEQ

The LORD Our Righteousness

Jeremiah 23:6

In His days Judah will be saved, and Israel will dwell securely. And this is His name by which He will be called: The LORD Our Righteousness.

Thanks & Praise

 

THANKS AND PRAISE

Daniel 2:23

To You, O  God of my fathers, I give thanks and praise, because You have given me wisdom and power...

Thanks - Yadah - throwing (your) hands up

Praise - Shout 

This is energetic, spontaneous worship to God, on Daniel's part, for not only what God has given him but for Who God is to him. 

And we have to ask ourselves: is my enthusiasm for answers to prayer as spontaneous and joyful as Daniel's? or have I become lukewarm and lazy in how I praise God for His many benefits and blessings which He bestows on me?

When we seek God's perfect will for the answer to our prayer, we are seeking an audience with the Creator of the universe. And He not only listens to our prayers, He answers them. If we think He isn't hearing us, then we are not close enough to hear or know the response to our prayers. Sometimes God answers us in ways we are not expecting. For instance, in Exodus 33 Moses asked to see God's glory, but God required him to stand in the cleft of the rock as God passed by; God covered Moses while he passed, but then removed His hand that Moses would see only the back of God after He had passed by. You have to be pretty near to God to get that kind of response.

THE LORD IS MY STRENGTH AND MY SONG

Psalm 59:16

But I will sing of Your strength 

and proclaim Your loving devotion in the morning.

 For You are my fortress, 

my refuge in times of trouble.

Psalm 81:1

or the choirmaster. According to Gittith. Of Asaph. Sing for joy to God our strength; make a joyful noise to the God of Jacob.

Psalm 95:1-2

Come, let us sing for joy to the LORD;

 let us shout to the Rock of our salvation! 

Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving, 

and make a joyful noise unto him with psalms.

Psalm 98:4-5

Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all the earth: make a loud noise, and rejoice, and sing praise. Sing praises to the LORD with the lyre, in melodious song with the harp.

While Moses acknowledged that God is over all, he is not the only one in the Old Testament to realize this.
1 Chronicles 29:10-13

 {10} Then David blessed the LORD in the sight of all the assembly and said: “May You be blessed, O LORD, God of our father Israel, from everlasting to everlasting. (11) Yours, O LORD, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the splendor and the majesty, for everything in heaven and on earth belongs to You. Yours, O LORD, is the kingdom, and You are exalted as head over all. (12) Both riches and honor come from You, and You are the ruler over all. In Your hands are power and might to exalt and give strength to all. (13) Now therefore, our God, we give You thanks, and we praise Your glorious name."

Do we always acknowledge this? No, to our shame we do not. We need to get back to the altar, repent of our sin against God for not acknowledging that He is God over all, first and foremost in our lives. 

Dear Heavenly Father, 

I know now that You are indeed Lord of All creation, Lord of heaven and earth, Lord of all kingdoms and ruler-ships. Forgive me of this my sin against You. Lead me in Your ways, according to Your will and purpose for my life. Continue to teach me Your Word, planting it deep within my heart, and sanctify me with Your Holy Spirit. 

In Jesus' Name,

Amen.
