God Reveals His Name

In the beginning Elohim created the heavens and the earth." Genesis 1:1
Elohim2
Today begins our book study, Praying the Names of God. I have really been looking forward to this!
The name of the LORD that we are meditating on this week is Elohim. The LORD reveals this name immediately in Genesis 1:1. What a majestic moment it must have been "In the beginning..." Yet, each day, I have the chance to see His creations around me.
I Love the beauty I see in the LORDS creation, from the smallest things to the most majestic. This ancient name, Elohim, reminds me to look for Him in all of His creation.  Often, when I take the time to do this, I immediately feel a connection with Him. My worries, or stresses begin to blur as I take time to LOOK, BREATH, FEEL, TASTE, TOUCH all that Elohim has created. 
Today, I will think on the name, Elohim, and remember His majesty and mystery, His sovereignty and power and draw near to the One who created all of man in His image and thank Him!

    I love that Shonni! I feel the same way - when I look up and around me at all that God created for us - wow! I just simply breath in His goodness and everything melts away - peace is mine and joy overflows.

    I love the photo you shared today - thank you!

    Love and blessings as we reflect on Elohim!

  2. I've noticed in the 90 day Bible challenge how often God refers to His name. Doing something in His name or for His name's sake. It's important to Him so it should be to us. Sounds like a great book!

    What a beautiful picture - I had trouble at first working out if it is sand or snow.
