OUR PERSONAL PROMISES

***** *****

Philippians 2:10

“that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth,”

Job 36:5

“Behold, God is mighty, but despises no one;  He is mighty in strength of understanding.”

Psalm 50:1-2

“The Mighty One, God the Lord, Has spoken and called the earth From the rising of the sun to its going down. Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God will shine forth. Our God shall come, and shall not keep silent; A fire shall devour before Him, And it shall be very tempestuous all around Him. …

Psalm 82:1

“God stands in the congregation of the mighty; He judges among the gods.”

Ps 29:1

“Give unto the Lord, O you mighty ones, Give unto the Lord glory and strength.”

Ps 150:1

“Let All Things Praise the Lord!   Praise the Lord!  Praise God in His sanctuary; Praise Him in His mighty firmament!”

Our book for this month  is called “100 NAMES OF GOD”  written by Christopher D. Hudson.  Each day we’ll take one Hebrew name for God as given in the Bible to study and relate to.

EL GIBBHOR

MIGHTY GOD

“And He will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.” 

Isaiah 9:6

The Bible uses the adjective “GIBBHOR” – “MIGHTY”  to describe only a few people.  Nimrod was called “a mighty warrior” in Genesis 10:8-9.  King David had a group of “mighty warriors” who accomplished breathtaking military feats in 2 Samuel 23:8.

Yet the concept of “mighty” becomes supercharged when attached to God.  As EL GIBBHOR, God is the ultimate, divine superhero.  Nothing can compare to Him in terms of strength.

Because He is EL GIBBHOR, we will never find our Maker wringing His hands – or throwing up His hands –over potential outcomes.  Elections?  Court decisions?  Legislative debates?  Wars in volatile regions?  EL GIBBHOR’S not worried, because He’s not impotent.  He’s OMNIPOTENT.  He doesn’t have to fret or wonder about how things will unfold.  He simply makes things happen.  He’s never surprised by the unfolding of world events.

What this means for us is that we can trust God’s power in ever situation.  The One who overcame sin and death can defeat every strong foe that comes against us.  One day all creation will bow humbly at the feet of our mighty Lord.

Where do you need to see our Mighty God work today?

PRAYER

Mighty God, please help me remember that You are the Mighty God.  Where I am weak, please show yourself strong in my life.  amen
