Hey Hey!
Can I just say that God is so good!! Ugh I'm literally obsessed with Him. You know that feeling you get when you see a new born baby, and the first thing you want to do is cuddle them and smell their neck? Yea that's how I feel about God lol. He just so gooooooood!
I pray you build a relationship with God that is so enriched that you find things that make you want to learn Him, love Him, and follow the plan He has for your life like never before.
So last blog we talked about who God is, and I want to finish it up with part II. When God had me focus on some of the names of Him and the stories that back them up in the bible, wheeeeew blessed my whole life. So lets dig into these names:
Have you ever had a moment where you didn't feel loved by those who you loved. That no matter how much you cared for them or loved them, they didn't see you, or love you how you thought you should be loved. Can I tell you God is not only a God that first loved us, but He is also a God that sees us too.
Psalm 139:13-14 reminds us not only did God create us but He always took His time, calling us his marvelous works.
There's a familiar passage in the bible in Genesis 16:1-15 Sarai and Hagar, now Sarai is married to Abram and she could not have children at the time so she gives Abram her husband permission to be with her maid servant Hagar as the secondary wife. Now i know what you are thinking, why would this woman of God give her husband to another woman. In these times this was acceptable to do if you. Hagar did become pregnant and began to look down on Sarai for not being able to conceive. This frustrated Sarai and she complained to her husband about this. Now Abram informed Sarai that because Hagar was her maid servant she could do what she please with her. Sarai took that and began to treat Hagar horribly, and Hagar young and pregnant ran away.
The drama was real back then too! Nothing new under the son. Hagar is in the wilderness pregnant with nothing, but then vs 8 the Angel of the Lord appeared to her asking her Sarai's maid servant, where did you come from and where are you going?" Can I pause right here, God already knew who she was, but also knew what she was running from. God not only seen Hagar but she realized He understood her and had compassion for her. Although Hagar was running away God gave her specific instructions, and with those instructions she would receive a blessing. When we understand that God is the one who sees us and He is the one that cares about us we began to share with him how we feel. we have to lay down the feeling of wanting to please others and feel loved by others, but to catch on to how God loves you. God gives us His love first and then send those we need. Daily we have to learn to discern who is for us.
Jehovah Nissi means "The Lord is my banner. As Christians building our relationship with God we don't walk with a physical banner that says "God is banner" but we demonstrate it with how we carry ourselves in this world. we first accept God as our Lord and Savior to allow us the free will to accept Him for ourselves. That's claiming God over us. we trust God not only with worldly battles but spiritual battles as well. Ephesians 6:1-11. Daily we out to try to live a life like Christ.
Jehovah Shalom "The Lord is Peace
Peace: freedom from disturbance tranquility a state or period which there is no war or a war has ended.
Judges 6:1-24 We learned that we walk with peace but now we are reminded that God is peace. if God is peace that means that peace is in us. God is so amazing, we walk in peace, but we are peace because we are apart of our Father. In this passage God is showing Gideon I am your way of escape where you feel enslaved to i'm showing you peace is with you as am I.
God is the great I am. Whatever you need our Lord and Savior for He will be, you just have to trust and believe that God is who He say He is.
I pray this encourage you to lean on God for all things, know that I love yo, but God loves you more.
