I Love This Name...

YAHWEH...my God who reveals Himself through powerful acts of deliverance.  Do you believe that He still does this?  "I Am Who I Am" doesn't change. He still delivers His people from their bondage; pain; fears; slavery; poverty of our souls; lack of faith. 
YAHWEH is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in love towards US...do you believe that?
YAHWEH works righteousness and justice for the oppressed. Do you believe?
As a father has compassion on his children, so YAHWEH has compassion on those who fear Him.  
YAHWEH has revealed part of His nature through His name...He is forgiving, healing, REDEEMING...
He delights to bless you...
do you believe?
Everything that I have just written about YAHWEH'S nature, I just took from Psalm103.
Today, I am 46 years old and I can tell you something...I have learned to trust in the ABSOLUTE TRUTH of the Word of God;
whether I felt like it or not...
whether I believed it or not...
whether I could see it or not...
I have gone through some things that I was pretty sure would destroy me...you probably have to. 
And I have learned that I WILL SEE YAHWEH, mighty to save; yours and my faithful, covenant keeping God;
He is our faithful, wonder-working God.
Do you believe this?
There were times that I didn't...and I have had to confess that my unbelief came from my fearful heart, not Who He is. I wasn't believing the TRUTH. 
Do you know what to do when you don't believe the truth? Start telling yourself the TRUTH from the Holy Bible...start with Psalm 103 if you want; start telling yourself the Truth in spite of how you feel...do this constantly, don't give up, this is a battle. 
YAHWEH is mighty to save and to deliver.
Trust me ... THAT is the truth.
"I sought the LORD, and He answered me and delivered me from all my fears." Ps. 34:4

  1. AMEN! Happy Birthday Beautiful Friend! You make aging not only fun but inspiring!

    I too feel the same way learning more about who He really is to us and simply trusting in Him as Yahweh! Obeying because of that trust - even when it makes absolutely no sense to anyone around me!

    Love and hugs! Praying your birthday is richly blessed!

  6. I am so glad you are participating and that I now know about you. Happy Birthday girl! You don't look your age at all. I saw the photos on the newest post with your children. You look great with no makeup and pj's. You are so brave!

    But back to seriousness, it is amazing how our God is so awesome. He is the same yesterday, today and forever.

    I'm now following you; yay!

    Blessings,
    Debbie
