Last week, I shared the first post sharing thoughts about the name of God, Jehovah-Tsidkenu, The Lord our Righteousness.

You can read that post HERE to see when this name of God was first used in the Old Testament and what the name means.

Jehovah-tsidekneu, The Lord Our Righteousness. Do you know what this name means? It is really special! Come read and get printables for the names of God.

This post will give ideas of how we can apply the name, Jehovah-Tsidkenu, to our own lives today plus share the printables that go along with this lesson.

Here are some ways we can apply the name, Jehovah-tsidkenu to our own everyday lives:

  • We can be right with God! We can be righteous! We need not live in an endless cycle of sin and failure. God was made sin for us so that we, believing in Him, might be made His righteousness.

Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference: For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Romans 3:22-23

  • This name emphasizes two important truths: God demands righteousness of His people, and we are not able to meet this demand on our own. We must look to Him as the Lord Our Righteousness to provide for us what we cannot attain no matter how hard we try.

I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. Galatians 2:20

Because of Jesus dying in my place, I can life a righteous life. He is my Jehovah-Tsidkenu. Come get free printable notes and graphic.

Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Philippians 2:5

  • After we have received salvation, we need to view ourselves as believers who have the righteousness of God. Don’t see yourself as a defeated Christian! Start living a victorious Christian life. Say, “I am the righteousness of God!” – and live like it!

And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness. Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another. Ephesians 4:24-25

Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame. I Corinthians 15:34

Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness. Romans 6:17-18

More references for Jehovah-tsidkenu (or about God being righteous):

Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness: thou hast enlarged me when I was in distress; have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer. Psalm 4:1

Before the Lord: for he cometh, for he cometh to judge the earth: he shall judge the world with righteousness, and the people with his truth. Psalm 96:13

I have not spoken in secret, in a dark place of the earth: I said not unto the seed of Jacob, Seek ye me in vain: I the Lord speak righteousness, I declare things that are right. Isaiah 45:19

No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is of me, saith the Lord. Isaiah 54:17

In those days shall Judah be saved, and Jerusalem shall dwell safely: and this is the name wherewith she shall be called, The Lord our righteousness. Jeremiah 33:16

Jesus is Jehovah-tsidkenu, the King who would come from David’s line, and is the one who imparts His righteousness to us.

For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
2 Corinthians 5:21

We have Jesus's rightecousness imputed to our account when we ask Him to forgive us of our sins.

Last week, I shared the story behind the first time the name of God, Jehovah-Sabaoth was used in Scripture. We saw how Hannah ran to the Lord of Hosts when she was being attacked by her adversary. The Lord of Hosts rescued her and gave her a son.

Even though this name was used in the Old Testament, God is still our Lord of Hosts.

Jehovah-sabaoth, The Lord of Hosts. What does this name of God mean? Come read the post and get free printables for many names of God.

How is God our Jehovah-sabaoth today? How can we apply the knowledge of who God is as Jehovah-sabaoth to our everyday lives?

  • The Lord of the hosts of heaven will always fulfill His purposes, even when the hosts of His earthly people fail.
  • We need to run to this name when we find ourselves failing and powerless. This is a name for those who find their resources inadequate in the midst of a struggle.
    • But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; 1 Corinthians 1:27
    • Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the Lord our God. Psalm 20:7

“Do you feel weak, insignificant, and without resources to face your impossible situation? You are in the exact place where Yahweh Sabaoth can do a mighty work.” Catherine Martin

  • This name helps you overcome giants in your life.
    • Then said David to the Philistine, Thou comest to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a shield: but I come to thee in the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom thou hast defied. I Samuel 17:45
  • Our God is a Warrior, He is a fighter, and we are in His army.

“As children of the Lord of Hosts, we are following after the One who wins every battle. A struggle is not bad if it’s for a good purpose. God wants warriors who stand up for Him in the face of the enemy so that the lost may be saved.” Lester Sumrall

  • We are in a spiritual battle. We need to follow the Lord of Hosts, the Almighty God, who will have the victory.
    • Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. James 4:7

Here are some more references for Jehovah-sabaoth:

  1. Jeremiah 20:11-13
  2. Isaiah 6:3, 8:13, 31:5, 48:2, 54:5—for those alone
  3. Psalm 46:7, 11; 84:12
  4. Malachi 1:10-14
  5. Romans 9:29 and James 5:4 – 2 times in KJV where we see Lord of Sabaoth translated “Lord of Hosts.”
  6. Zechariah 8:22 – Zechariah 8 could be called the the “Lord of Hosts” chapter as this name appears 18 times.

Even though Jehovah-sabaoth is an Old Testament name for God, we can see how Jesus is our Jehovah-sabaoth of the New Testament:

  • Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. Romans 8:37
  • I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. Philippians 4:13

Here are the printable worksheets I used when I taught this lesson. You can print out the verse graphic here.

Thoughtful Thursdays: The Lord is Peace, Part 2

This post may contain affiliate links. If you purchase those items through my links I will earn a commission. You will not pay more when buying a product through my link. Go HERE for more disclaimers.

By

Last week, I shared the first post for the name of God, Jehovah-Shalom, The Lord is Peace.

That post mainly shared where we see this name of God being used in the Bible and what this name of God means. Today, I would like to share a few ways that we can apply this name of God to our everyday lives.

Jehovah-Shalom, The Lord is Peace free printables
  • Only Christ can give us true peace. Peace (shalom) follows righteousness (mekoddishkem). This name was given to the Israelite people in Exodus. We don’t see the name of Jehovah-shalom until the book of Judges. Those who are not righteous do not know the way of peace. (Romans 3:11, 17)

Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. John 14:27

I love this quote by Marilyn Hickey:

God gave Gideon peace within his spirit before he had even won the battle. That’s what God does! Peace does not come because of outward situations. Peace comes because of Him who is inside you. God is greater than anything you may encounter in this world. God wants you to make Him your peace – not circumstances.

  • Perfect peace comes to those who trust in God.

Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee. Isaiah 26:3

  • His peace is to rule, govern, and control our hearts.

And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful. Colossians 3:15

  • When we become people of prayer, we will experience His peace. We can have peace despite our circumstances.

Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:6-7

Here are some other encouraging verses about the peace of God:

  • Jeremiah 29:11 — For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.
  • Psalm 119:165 — Great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing shall offend them.
  • 2 Timothy 1:7 — For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
  • John 14:27 — Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
  • Galatians 5:22 — But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,

Thoughtful Thursdays: Jehovah-mekoddishkem: The Lord Who Sanctifies You, Part 2

By

A couple of weeks before Christmas, I wrote the first post about the name of God, Jehovah-mekoddishkem which means “The Lord Who Sanctifies You.” I really enjoyed studying this name of God. I think sometimes the fact that God expects us to be holy and to live a separate and sanctified life is overlooked. I also know that I need God’s help in His work of sanctification in my life. It is an ongoing process.

Jehovah-mekoddishkem: The Lord Who Sanctifies You study. Free Printables!

This name of God is not talking about His saving power. That is a one-time event. It is talking about our daily process of growing to be more Christ-like after we are saved.

So how does the name Jehovah-mekoddishkem apply to our everyday lives?

It is God who sanctifies us. We can only be sanctified through Jesus. We have no power to be holy on our own.

  • Whereby are given unto us: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. 2 Peter 1:4
  • But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Rom. 8:9
  • But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption: 1 Corinthians 1:30

God sets us apart as a chosen people, a royal priesthood, holy unto God, a people of His own.

  • But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light; I Peter 2:9
  • “Holiness is not an option; it is a requirement!” Kay Arthur

Our daily sanctification and growth comes from being in God’s Word.

  • Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth. John 17:17

As the Lord Who Sanctifies, He has the right to demand loyalty and commitment from His people.

  • But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy. I Peter 1:15-16

As God sanctified Israel, so He sanctifies the church.

  • By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins: But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God; From henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool. For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified. Hebr. 10:10-14

Thoughtful Thursdays: Jehovah-Nissi: The LORD my Banner, Part 2

This post may contain affiliate links. If you purchase those items through my links I will earn a commission. You will not pay more when buying a product through my link. Go HERE for more disclaimers.

By

A couple of weeks ago, I wrote the first post about the name God called The Lord My Banner, or Jehovah-nissi.

I shared the story of where we find this name in the Old Testament and what the name means, but I didn’t get into different applications we can draw from this name.

Jehovah-Nissi, The Lord My Banner. Is He your banner? He wants to be! We can be victorious if we follow Him into battle.

Jehovah-nissi is the name of the altar built by Moses after defeating the Amalekites at Rephidim. Amalek was the grandson of Esau and the first (and constant) enemy of Israel. In the Bible, Amalek is a picture of the flesh – which is our first (and constant) enemy once we are saved.

In the last post, we talked about how the Israelites defeated the Amalekites. Moses had to keep his arms lifted for them to win, symbolizing their dependence on God to win the battle for them. The Israelites followed their Banner into battle, and He gave them the victory.

Here are some ways that knowing Jehovah-nissi applies to our everyday lives:

If we are under His banner, God will give us victory against the flesh, the world, and the devil. Our God is a God of deliverances.

  • This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. Galatians 5:16
  • I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: 2 Timothy 4:7
  •  Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place. 2 Corinthians 2:14
  • Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world. 1 John 4:4

In the middle of the battle, we need to lift our eyes to our Jehovah-nissi who stands with his arms extended high, making intercession for us. The Lord will fight for us.

  • Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them. Hebrews 7:25
  • The Lord shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace. Exodus 14:14
  • Ye shall not fear them: for the Lord your God he shall fight for you. Deuteronomy 3:22

We are commanded to be strong and fight the battle in His power.

  • Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Ephesians 6:10

If we do not fight under His banner, defeat is a certainty. We can’t do the battle against the flesh under our own power.

  • I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. John 15:5

Don’t be discouraged in the battle! We have God on our side!

  • Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen. Ephesians 3:20-21

Thoughtful Thursdays: Jehovah-Rapha: The Lord Who Heals, Part 3

This post may contain affiliate links. If you purchase those items through my links I will earn a commission. You will not pay more when buying a product through my link. Go HERE for more disclaimers.

By

Today is the third post I am sharing on the name of God, Jehovah-Rapha.

Jehovah-Rapha is The Lord Who Heals -- in so many ways. Come get encouraged by studying this name of God!

The first post focused on where we see this name in Scripture for the first time and how we can learn many lessons from the positive example of Moses and the negative example of the Israelites. It was a very inspirational post!

The second post was also encouraging, but a little more academic as it shared facts such as where we see the name in Scripture, what the name means, and how we can apply the name to our lives.

Today’s post will be a shorter post, but I’ll also share with you the printables I gave to my ladies Sunday School class when we studied this name of God.

The wonderful truth about this name of God is He is our healer in so many ways — physically, emotionally, spiritually, mentally and more. The most significant way He heals is spiritually. Without His healing, we could never be saved.

Who His own self bare our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed. I Peter 2:24

God has never promised to always heal our physical infirmities; yet there are times that He chooses to do a miracle of physical healing. The wonderful truth for believers is that if He does not grant healing down here on earth, we will have no more sickness in Heaven. When a believer dies of an illness here on earth, they are transported to Heaven where they will no longer experience any sickness or pain. There they will receive the ultimate and forever healing.

Bless the Lord, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name. Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases; Psalm 103:1-3

It is never wrong to pray for God’s mercy and healing as we know He can heal if He thinks that healing is best. Moses prayed for his sister’s healing, and she was healed.

And the cloud departed from off the tabernacle; and, behold, Miriam became leprous, white as snow: and Aaron looked upon Miriam, and, behold, she was leprous. And Aaron said unto Moses, Alas, my lord, I beseech thee, lay not the sin upon us, wherein we have done foolishly, and wherein we have sinned. Let her not be as one dead, of whom the flesh is half consumed when he cometh out of his mother’s womb. And Moses cried unto the Lord, saying, Heal her now, O God, I beseech thee. Numbers 12:10-13

Hezekiah prayed for healing, and God healed him. God wants us to run to Him with our needs and concerns. He cares when we are ill and hurting. So our first action when we need healing is to run to Him in prayer.

Next, we need to avail ourselves of the resources He has given us. He has given us doctors, nutritionists, chiropractors, and many other ways that we can receive help when we are sick. Many times he heals us through the gift of other people who use their talents to help those who are hurting.

Jesus demonstrated that He is Jehovah-rapha while He was here on earth.

He healed the sick, blind, lame, and casting out demons. Most importantly, He heals His people from sin and unrighteousness when they accept His gift of salvation. (Luke 4:18-19, Matthew 4:23)

“The Word of Jehovah that He spoke by His messenger, the prophet Malachi, has found glorious fulfillment and awaits a yet more glorious fulfillment. ‘But for you who revere my name, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its wings’ (Malachi 4:2). What Jehovah was to Israel at Marah, so the Lord Jesus is to all who will receive and obey Him, the Great Physician. How sad, that, like Israel of old who refused Jehovah until there was no remedy, multitudes today have refused the healing sacrifice and ministry of Jehovah Jesus! . . . But praise God for the multitudes who have received Him, and applied His remedy, and have been made whole, and ‘take the free gift of the water of life’ (Revelation 22:17).” Nathan Stone

Thoughtful Thursdays: Jehovah-Jireh: The Lord Will Provide, Part 2

This post may contain affiliate links. If you purchase those items through my links I will earn a commission. You will not pay more when buying a product through my link. Go HERE for more disclaimers.

By

Last week, I started sharing the notes I used when I taught the name of God Jehovah-Jireh to our ladies Sunday School class. That lesson had so many notes, I decided to split it into two weeks.

The first time we see the name Jehovah-Jireh is in Genesis 22:

And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovah-jireh: as it is said to this day, In the mount of the Lord it shall be seen. Genesis 22:17

We shared the meaning of the name as well as the story that accompanies the first time we see this name. It still astounds me that God cares for me so much that He sees beforehand what I will need and then He will provide what I need when I need it.

God is our Jehovah-Jireh, the One who provides our needs. Come get the free printables that go along with this lesson.

Here are some other ways that we can apply this name to our every day lives:

  • Just as God provided a ram as a substitute for Isaac, He provided His son Jesus as the ultimate sacrifice. This was the Provision for our greatest need.
    • John 1:29: The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.
    • 1 Peter 1:18-19: Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:
  • God still delights in providing for His people. He will meet all our needs. He already knows what we will encounter in our lives and He has a provision for us to handle it.
    • Philippians 4:19: “But my God shall supply all your need. . .”
    • Matthew 6:26, 31-33: “Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they? Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you”
  • We have needs that can be met only by our Jehovah Jireh.
    • “The happy Christian has met the Lord personally and found Him an all sufficient Savior and Lord. He or she has burned all the bridge in every direction.” Tozer
    • “Trusting in God’s promises when you cannot imagine how He will carry out His plan demonstrates to Him your great faith. Faith pleases God, and when He knows He can have His way with you, He provides in the most amazing and miraculous ways.” Martin
  • He knows what our needs truly are.
    • Isaiah 55:9: For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
    • Matthew 6:11: Give us this day our daily bread.

Aren’t these applications for the name Jehovah-Jireh encouraging? He delights in meeting my needs — and He knows what I truly need.

Even though we don’t see specifically the name Jehovah-Jireh in the following verses, we do see how He meets our needs:

  1. Psalm 23:1 — The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
  2. Matthew 6:8 — Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.
  3. Romans 8:32 — He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?

In our weekly studies on the name of God, I always close with how Jesus in the New Testament showed that He is God, the Messiah, by how He lived here on earth. For example, Jesus showed that He is Jehovah-Jireh when He said He was the bread of life (John 6:35). He would provide for those who came to Him. He was also the Lamb who was slain for our sin. (John 1:29)

For the past several Thoughtful Thursdays, I have been sharing notes from the series on the names of God that my Sunday School class has been studying. So far we have studied the following names:

I also have shared in the past how we are using Kay Arthur’s book, Lord, I Want to Know You in the class; but I also read several other books. In this post, I share the list of books that I use for my own study so that I can make the printable worksheets as well as be ready to teach the class.

Last week, we started studying the name of God, Jehovah, which means “The Self-Existent One.” Because there was so much information on that name of God, I broke the notes into two blog posts.

In last week’s study, we looked at how we got the name Jehovah, what the name means, some key manifestations of the name in the Bible, how God is still our Jehovah today, and how we should apply this name to our life today.

Today, we are going to look at the message of the name Jehovah and at how Jesus is our Jehovah.

Jehovah, The Self Existent One. He is our I AM. What does that mean to you? Come read and study this name of God. There is a free printable handout or study sheet and a graphic for Jehovah.

Here are some of the messages of the name:

  • It reveals God as a God of moral and spiritual attributes.
  • In Old Testament times, righteousness and holiness were the two great attributes associated with the name Jehovah. We see that in many verses such as the one below:

Speak unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, and say unto them, Ye shall be holy: for I the Lord your God am holy. Leviticus 19:2

We should remember that the LORD God is still Jehovah and still expects us to live holy and righteous lifes (with His enabling Holy Spirit helping us.

We should be awed at the holiness of God. When confronted with the LORD, our response should as Isaiah’ was. At least we should inwardly, if not outwardly, bow ourselves and worship this wonderful, covenant-keeping God!

“However personal and intimate God is with us, He is still God, Creator of the universe, self-existent, ineffable, immutable, holy, and majestic.  His very being and presence command sheer reverence, utter respect, and absolute worship.  Regardless of how close, personal,or intimate a relationship we have with Him, we must confess that He is “wholly other.”  He is God, and we are not.  And yet He speaks.  He invites.  He touches.  He enters our lives.  He initiates.  He is insistent and persistent.  Our great God chooses to reach out to me and desires a relationship with me.”    

Catharine Martin
  • This name of Jehovah reveals God also as a God of love. His holiness must condemn, but His love provides redemption.

The LORD hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee. Jeremiah 31:3

  • This name reveals God as a God who seeks to restore.

But now thus saith the LORD that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine. Isaiah 43:1

We see that God loves us and wants to restore us too. Don’t you love the verses we find in Romans 8?

He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things? (v. 32)
Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? (v. 35)
Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. (v. 37-39)

We can claim these and hold on to these in times of trouble or sadness or distress!  We are never alone—we never have to go through hard times on our own!  He is with us, and He loves us!

In the New Testament, we also see that Jesus is our Jehovah God. Jehovah means “I AM” as the Hebrew word YHWH is translated as “I AM.”

Jesus said He was the “I AM” in John 8:58: “Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.“

He fulfilled prophecies that were made about Jehovah:

  • Isaiah 45:21-23→Philippians 2:9-11
  • Joel 2:32→Romans 10:13

He shows how He is “I AM” several times in the New Testament:

  • He is your bread of life, who sustains you.  (Jn. 6:35—I am the bread of life).
  • He is your light, who shows you truth and causes growth in your life. (Jn. 8:12—I am the light of the world).
  • He is the door, who provides the way to eternal life.  (Jn. 10:7-9—I am the door).
  • He is your good shepherd, who gives you security. (Jn. 10:11, 14—I am the good shepherd).
  • He is the resurrection and the life, who gives you eternal life.  (Jn. 11:25—I am the resurrection and the life).
  • He is the way, the truth, and the life, who leads you to salvation and abundant life.  (Jn. 14:6—I am the way, the truth, and the life).
  • He is the true vine, who provides for your every need. (Jn. 15:1, 5—I am the true vine).

Your deepest needs can be fulfilled by Yahweh, the ego eimi, the I AM!

Thoughtful Thursdays: Adonai, The Lord

I have been sharing for several weeks thoughts on the names of God. We have been using Kay Arthur’s book, Lord, I Want to Know You, in our ladies Sunday School class. I have been making handouts for our Sunday School studies, so I thought some of you might be interested in using the sheets for your own personal Bible study.

The handouts are made up from studying several books. You can see which books I used for my personal study in the post below called Names of God. You can get handouts for any of the previous lessons by clicking on the links below.

The next name of God in the book is Adonai which means “Lord” or “Master.”

A quote from Hudson Taylor: "If He is not Lord of all, He is not Lord at all."

Master indicates RELATIONSHIP:
complete submission of those who call Him Lord.

Lord indicates OWNERSHIP:
complete possession by God. God is our total authority.

The key verse where we first see the name of Adonai is Genesis 15:2. 

And Abram said, Lord (Adonai) GOD (Jehovah), what wilt thou give me, seeing I go childless, and the steward of my house is this Eliezer of Damascus?

Adonai -- Our Master and Lord. He owns us; yet because He owns us, He provides all that we need. Come get some printables to help you study this name of God.

Here we see Abraham who had already been in the Promised Land for 10 years.  God had previously promised Abraham the land and a son.  Now Sarah is past the age to bear children.  As Abraham had a slave/master relationship to God, it was only natural that he came to God using the name Adonai (Master) and then Jehovah, which we will discuss in a couple of weeks.

Slavery was very common in Abraham’s day. In Abraham’s days, a bondservant or a slave was far better off than a hired servant because his master provided for him totally. It was the master’s duty to protect and care for his slave according to his need.  The master even provided direction in his day-by-day living.

Abraham was trusting God to fulfill His promise and to bring him the heir that God had promised.

The wonderful truth about this master-servant relationship that Abraham understood was that this relationship between the master and the servant did not begin with the servant but with the master. The master was to do two things for his slaves. 

  • First, he must provide for the needs of his slaves—a place to sleep, food, clothing, and the basic necessities. 
  • Second, the master must give direction, training, and accountability for the work of the slave. 

Therefore, Abraham calling God Adonai put the responsibility on God to fulfill His responsiblities. Yet it also showed that Abraham knew his place. He knew that he was to be submissive to the task God put before him. He knew God would supply everything he needed to do his Master’s will.

It is the Master’s job to provide what His servants need, and it is the servants’ job to obey.

Here are three truths that the name Adonai assures for us as believers:

  • It implies that our God and Master has the resources and ability to take care of us.
  • It implies that help is available to us to carry out our Christian duty as a servant.
  • It gives us the confidence that we, as servants of Adonai, have the privilege of calling upon our relationship with the Master to get the help that we need.

As bondservants, we have responsibilities to our Lord.

  1. Our Adonai expects our support, loyalty to your Master above all other commitments. (Matthew 10:37-38, Genesis 15:2, Philippians 1:20-21)
  2. Our Adonai expects our submission, becoming a voluntary slave of Jesus Christ. (James 4:7a, Exodus 4:10-14, Luke 6:46, Isaiah 6:1-8)
  3. Our Adonai expects our service. (Isaiah 6:8; I Cor. 12:4-6)
  4. Our Adonai expects us to be good stewards. (1 Corinthians 6:19-20,  Romans 12:1-2)

Thoughtful Thursdays: El-Shaddai, The All-Sufficient One

The last few weeks, I have been sharing thoughts from the book study my Sunday School class has been doing together.

We have been studying the book by Kay Arthur called Lord, I Want to Know You. However, I also co-taught a series on the names of God in my previous church, and I had used many books when I put together those lessons. Therefore, when I make the worksheets for my Sunday School class, I use all of those books for the notes and not just Kay Arthur’s book.

Here is a list of the posts I have already written in this series:

This week’s name of God is El Shaddai.

El Shaddai. Our Almighty God. The All-Sufficient One! Come get a printable worksheet that can be used for personal Bible study or for a group Bible study.

This name has the meaning, “The All-Sufficient One” or “Almighty God.”

We first see this name in Genesis 17:1.

And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the LORD appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect.

Here God comes to Abram and makes a covenant with Abram that he will be a father of many nations with his wife Sarai. His name of Himself as the Almighty God is very important as Sarai is past the childbearing years. They have no children yet. However, God is Almighty. He will do the impossible and give a son to Abraham and Sarah.

El means God. Shaddai is translated “Almighty” and is used 48 times in the Old Testament. Thirty-one of those times are in Job.

“Shad” means breast and occurs 24 times. As a mother who nursed her children, I understand this picture completely. There is nothing like holding a defenseless baby that cannot survice without it’s mother’s milk. This name pictures God’s fullness or bounty, His tenderness, His desire to nurture us and make us fruitful.

When I think of this name, I often think of Amy Grant’s song that starts off with the words, ” El shaddai, el shaddai, El-elyon na adonia.” The song references many of the names of God, but when we come in contact with The Almighty God, The All-Sufficient One, El Shaddai, our response should be, “We will praise and lift you high, El shaddai.”

One section that is included on the worksheet is a section called, “Understanding how knowing El Shaddai applies to our everyday lives.”

Here are three questions we should all ask ourselves to see if we are really have a full understanding of the name El Shaddai:

  • Do we believe that our problems are too big for God to handle?

If we know God as our El Shaddai, then we realize that God is all-powerful! (Rom. 16:25, 2 Cor. 9:8)

Contemplating the power of God brings you to the great realization of Paul that ‘God is able.’

catherine martin

For with God nothing shall be impossible. Luke 1:37

  • Are we trying to do things in our own strength? Do we doubt that we can do what He has called us to do?

God is all-sufficient! He is enough. He is more than enough!

And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 2 Corinthians 12:9

I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. Philippians 4:13

  • Do we forget to live abundant lives?

God is the all-bountiful One!

The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints, And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power, Ephesians 1:18-19

God not only has the power to bless His people, but He will also do so abundantly.
