I've always heard that the people in the Old Testament would not write God's name. I never really understood why. In the past few weeks, God has done an overhaul on my heart! I truly believe that because I have allowed him to work in me these past few weeks that he been able to accomplish more in my life in the past two and half weeks than in the last six years! God is AWEsome. If we are not sent to our knees when we think about all he has done for us, all he has provided, something is very wrong with our hearts and our perspective of who God is. You may be reading this thinking if God is so powerful WHY? We all face our questions, each of us have things we don't understand. When we stop letting those things scare us away from encountering God, and instead run to him with our questions, our hurts, our negative emotions, HE will meet us where we are, love on us and minister truth! I am going through a study of David, I have also been researching things that God has provided for his children in the Old Testament and also for us through Jesus' death and ressurection. My findings, prior to a few weeks ago I did not regard the God I serve as the same God who did all of these things!
When I spend time in desperate prayer, I am praying to the Almighty God who enabeled a shephard boy, untrained for battle, to conquer a nine foot GIANT! When I spend time praying over my baby boy before his nap for health and peace and sweet dreams, I am talking to the God who gave up his son for us, GAVE UP HIS SON and then three days later breathed his sweet breath of life into his baby boy! Really, my friend, if you can read this without getting out of your chair, kneeling down and thanking God for who he is, I pray that God will meet you like he has met me! Those people couldn't write God's name because they wintnessed the power of God! They knew without a Messiah, they weren't worthy to even pen his name because of his almighty power. I praise God that he sent his son, I pray that I will never lose what he has done in me these past weeks.
