The name of our Lord is ‘Jehovah’.This name is derived from the four letter Hebrew word YHWH meaning “I AM WHO I AM” and “ I WILL BE WHO I WILL BE.”It is the name by which God revealed Himself to Moses in the Burning Bush. “And God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM.” And He said, “Thus you shall say to the children of Israel, ‘I AM has sent me to you.’”-Exodus 3:14.
God becomes the Solution to whatever our situation/ need is. He is Jehovah Jireh (The Lord Our Provider),Jehovah Rapha (The Lord Our Healer),Jehovah Shalom(The Lord Our Peace),Jehovah Nissi(The Lord Our Banner/Miracle),Jehovah Shammah (The Lord My Companion),Jehovah Rohi (The Lord Our Shepherd),Jehovah Tsidkenu (The Lord Our Righteousness),Jehovah Mekaddiskem (The Lord who Sanctifies)
Everyday each one of us faces different challenges wherever we are.We handle these situations by the way we think.It is said that thoughts are what either make us or break us.We must be very careful about the thoughts that enter our mind.Even if we get Negative thoughts,we should never dwell on them as they rob us of our joy,strength,peace and happiness in life.The only way we can remove a negative thought is by replacing it with a positive one just as we can defeat darkness not by wrestling with it but by turning on the light switch.The fastest and most effective way to do fill our minds with positive thoughts is to confess the Scriptures corresponding to our particular need and call upon Jehovah Lord to become that which He should to help us.
Proverbs 4:20-22 says, My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings. Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. For they are life to those that find them, and health to all their flesh.
“For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.”-Hebrews 4:12
