It's Monday Again!

Welcome to a new week!  It's Monday again already!  Where did last week go???  I hope you had a good week.  I did.....in spite of the fact that it was a very busy, meet myself coming and going kind of a week!  I had opportunity to spend a couple of days with a dear friend from my Florida days......some great girlfriend time (and retail therapy!!).  Had a great time of Bible study with my Thursday morning Bible Study Gals as we focused on who God is and that He is able to do exceedingly abundantly beyond and beyond (check out the last two verses of Ephesians chapter 3).  Experienced answered prayers.  My husband was actually in town for a few days (this last month began a busy travel season for him), so it was great to just spend some time together!  It was a good week!  And today I'm looking forward to what God has in store for this week!

And as I look forward to this new week, I'm focusing my attention on the name of the LORD as my strong tower and anticipating what He will teach me and how He will work in my life this week!  What about you?
If your thought processes haven't taken you there yet this morning, let's go there together.  And let's begin by reviewing what we have learned so far as we have studied the names of God and as we are continuing to get to know our God better by knowing His names.

We have learned that "the name of the LORD is a strong tower; the righteous runs to it and is safe," (Proverbs 18:10).  One of our goals in this study is to fully "trust in the name of the LORD" and rely on Him (Isaiah 50:10).  Why not go back and review the names we have learned and what they mean, and then spend some time reflecting on how you are experiencing the truth of that name, on how that name has been or is becoming a strong tower for you to run to.  For example, we began with the name Elohim.  Do you remember what that name means?  And knowing what it means, how does that make a difference in your life?

Do the same for all the names we have learned.  It's good to review!  Our goal is not just to have read a lot of  verses, made some lists, maybe even have a nice journal, but for what we learn to be sealed into our memory banks so that we can "withdraw" when we need to!  So that it makes a difference in our everyday lives!  So think back......what have you learned and what difference has it made?  All the way from what you learned about Elohim to what we learned last week about Jehovah-Tsidkenu, and everything in between!

If you have just discovered this study, don't panic!  All the previous lessons are archived, and you can work at your own pace!  And if you are just joining us, welcome!

We're nearing the end of this particular journey.......just a couple more names that we will consider.  Tomorrow (after you have had time for today's review!) we'll begin to consider the name found in Ezekiel chapter 48.  If you can't wait to find out what the name is, look at verse 35.

"Some boast in chariots and some in horses, but we will boast in the name of the LORD our God."  (Psalm 20:7)
