Who is Your God? by Laurie McTier
"And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you." Exodus 3:14
At your birth, your parents gave you a name. This was a name that they had chosen after spending hours before selecting the perfect name. You may have been named after your grandparents or someone famous. You may have done research to find out the meaning of your name or even traced your family tree to find out more about your ancestors. As we research and find the meanings behind a name, it is amazing to see that on many occasions, one's personality and character traits are often very similar to their namesake.
The Bible tells that there is only One True God. The Bible also gives us many names of God which identify His attributes.
1) Jehovah Jireh - God Our Provider (Genesis 22:1-14)
2) Jehovah Rapha - God Our Healer (Exodus 15:26)
3) Jehovah Nissi - God Our Banner - Victory (Exodus 17:15,16)
4) Jehovah Me'Kadesh Our Sanctifier - Cleansing (Leviticus 20:7)
5) Jehovah Shalom - God Our Peace (Judges 6:24)
6) Jehovah Rohi - God Our Shepherd (Psalms 23:1)
7) Jehovah Tsidkenu - God Our Righteousness (Jeremiah 23:5)
8) Jehovah Sabboth - God Our Rest - Lord (I Samuel 1:3)
As I have studied these attributes, I am also reminded that God is the great "I Am". Whatever your need is today, He is the "I Am". He is all that you need and He wants you to bring your needs to Him and allow Him to minister to you. The Bible says that God is also the "Alpha and Omega". He is the first and the last, the beginning and the end.
Today, I want to challenge you to spend time in prayer praising God for who He is and all that He has done for you.
Daily Prayer Focus: Worship God for who He is. Praise Him for His attributes. Praise Him for His promises.
On The Go Prayer Focus: On The Go's Neighborhood Outreach Program. In reality, very little is being done to reach people in many communities across the USA. On The Go is striving to train local Christians and help them develop programs that can systematically and permanently reach real needs in their neighborhoods.
Thank you for taking the time to pray for this important division of On The Go Ministries. For more information on any our ministries here at On The Go, you may send your questions to info@onthego.org.
