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.
I thank my God every time I remember you. In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now, being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:3-6)
Dear Readers,
I thank God daily for you. My only purpose in writing has been to encourage you in the things of God and help you walk out God’s Word. It brings me great delight every time I read your comments about the work of God in your lives. Truly, there have been a few days that I’ve wondered… Is it worth it? Am I making a difference? Honestly, every time I get to that spot… I receive a precious comment, email, or message from one of you. Each one encourages me to continue writing about God’s faithfulness in my life.
And he said, “I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Therefore, whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.” (Matthew 18:3-4)
When he came near the place where the road goes down the Mount of Olives, the whole crowd of disciples began joyfully to praise God in loud voices for all the miracles they had seen: “Blessed is the king who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!”
Above all, my brothers, do not swear– not by heaven or by earth or by anything else. Let your “Yes” be yes, and your “No,” no, or you will be condemned. (James 5:12)
My little nephew has been learning this verse. My sister noticed that Andrew would change his mind a lot, so she decided to teach him this verse. Here’s his version,
“Let your yes be yes, let your no be no.”
Even at the precious age of five, Andrew is learning how to be a man of his word. I think this is a very important lesson that we can learn. How often do we lack the follow through we need? How often do we fall short on finishing what we start? In this passage, James is quoting Jesus from the Sermon on the Mount. Let’s take a look at what Jesus has to say!
