He is a personal God.

He wants to be your shepherd (leader, guide, protector)

  • Jehovah-Rohi – Shepherd – Psalm 23 A psalm of David. The LORD is my shepherd, I lack nothing. He makes me lie down in green pastures he leads me beside quiet waters, he refreshes my soul.  He Guides me along the right paths for his name’s sake. Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.  Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.

He wants to be peace for you.

God of All, Creator

  • Jehovah-Adon Kal Ha’arets- Lord of Earth

Did you know that God not only parted the Red Sea, but also the Jordan River?

In Exodus 14 we hear the story of the Red Sea.  God parted it so that His people could cross away from their pursuers the Egyptians.  God told Moses to raise his staff over the waters and v21“all that night the Lord drove back the sea with a strong east wind that and turned it into dry land. The waters were divided and the Israelites went through the sea on dry ground, with a wall of water on their right and their left.” 

In Joshua 3, we read about the waters that stopped flowing and stood up in a heap.  Verse 4:18 says “And the priest came up out of the river carrying the ark of the covenant of the Lord.  No sooner had they set their feet on dry ground than the waters of the Jordan returned to their place and ran at flood stage as before.”

Only the Lord of the earth, Jehovah-Adon Kal Ha’arets could possibly make these two things occur.

  • Jehovah-Bara – Lord Creator

Isaiah 40:28 says “Do you not know?  Have you not heard?  The Lord the Everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth, He will not grow weary, and His understanding no one can fathom.”

Who else could you ever imagine could design a world so intricate, that we are still learning daily of its intricacies?

In Genesis, we read the account of creation.

“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.  Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.  Then God said, “Let there be light.”

God spoke.  His voice spoke.  He created with His voice.  With His sound, He created everything.  The voice of the Creator.

John 1:1-5 states that “In the beginning was the word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.  He was with God in the beginning.  Through Him all things were made; without Him nothing was made that has been made.  In Him was life, and that life was the light of men.  The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood it.”
