I'm adding two new names of God to my list:
ReplyDeleteJehovah Magen (The LORD is my shield) and Jehovah Sakar (The LORD is my reward). I'm not so sure I am gramatically correct with the Hebrew, but it works for me!
Lord, help me "spot" the dangers as Abram did. That will help me avoid a lot of trouble and enable me to enjoy You as my Jehovah Magen and Jehovah Sakar. To You be the glory.
I loved the reminder that I am to hide myself behind His mighty shield when temptations rear up. NO power can stand against Him. What a wondrous place to put myself in!
ReplyDeleteHE is my exceedingly great reward! AH, to live in that acknowledgment! To see Him as better than anything else I could turn to is to have victory indeed.
All Glory and Praise to my Almighty King!
Thank you Lord, for reminding me that you are my Shield and my exceedingly great reward. My part is to obey you and to trust you no matter the consequences. All glory to you Lord!!!
ReplyDeleteHelp me to be wise and discern the dangers of temptation.
ReplyDeleteThe longer I walk with Jesus the more satisfied I am that there is no greater reward than the LORD Himself.

I was especially blessed when Pastor Dale mentioned that God does not give us a shield, but that He IS our shield...He IS our exceedingly great reward. Praise Him! darla
ReplyDeleteYes, I agree Darla! I see Him standing in front of me, beside me, behind me...my Shield!
