Yesterday, we explored three of the names of God. Here is a quick refresher…
1. Elohim ~ God is the All-Powerful One, He is the Creator.
2. El Roi ~ The God who sees me.
3. El Shaddai ~ The All Sufficient One, God Almighty.
If you want to read more on this, read Many Hats. Today we will continue with three more names!
4. Immanuel ~ God with us. Jesus is God in our midst. In Jesus, the full Deity dwells in bodily form.
But you, O Lord, sit enthroned forever; your renown endures through all generations. (Psalm 102:12)
Are you someone who wears a lot of hats in life? Do you have many roles to play? Lately, I’ve been thinking about the hats I wear. Here are just a few… Daughter of God, Wife, Homemaker, Daughter, Sister, Niece, Friend, Confident, Encourager, Writer, Counselor, Mentor, and Mentee. We all have many hats to wear in life, but none of us wear more hats than God. And only He wears each one well. You never see God taking a day off or forgetting what role to play in what moment. He ever so graciously moves from role to role, being exactly who we need Him to be in every moment.
Ascribe to the Lord, O mighty ones, ascribe to the Lord glory and strength. Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name; worship the Lord in the splendor of his holiness. (Psalm 29:1-2)
Clap your hands, all you nations; shout to God with cries of joy.
How awesome is the LORD Most High,
the great King over all the earth!
He subdued nations under us,
peoples under our feet.
He chose our inheritance for us,
the pride of Jacob, whom he loved.
Selah
The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance [to the full, till it overflows]. (John 10:10, AMP)
We are wrapping up our James study this week. We will finish with James 5. Feel free to read it! This week, the devotionals will be a little lighter as I have family coming to town. Today, I thought I would share a passage of Scripture with you that puts James 5:1-6 into perspective.
