God Almighty

Studying the names of God is interesting and enlightening. You ought to think about studying God’s names in 2022. Names in the Western world rarely describe the characteristics of a person’s nature. The English language uses adjectives to describe or elaborate on a person’s nature and character. But ancient languages often used names to describe a person’s nature and character. God revealed Himself as El-Shaddai — GOD ALMIGHTY! God is above everything and everyone! There is nothing too difficult, nothing beyond His purview, nothing He cannot do. “Is anything too hard for the LORD? No!” Genesis 18:14 (NCV) “I am the LORD, the God of every person on the earth. Nothing is impossible for me.” Jeremiah 32:27 (NCV) “Jesus … said, ‘For people this is impossible, but for God all things are possible.’” Matthew 19:26 (NCV) “Jesus answered, ‘The things impossible for people are possible for God.’” Luke 18:27 (NCV) God Almighty knows about your stresses, struggles, broken relationships, needs, fears, anxieties, doubts and dreads. He is “ALL—MIGHTY.” He has ALL might. He has all MIGHT. His “almightiness” is what drives Him to work in every situation for those who trust in Him. The Apostle Paul wrote: “We know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him.” Romans 8:28 (NIV) God Almighty doesn’t make every situation happen, but God Almighty works “for the good” in every situation. God always has an eternal view. Trusting is not easy. Trust is where “the rubber meets the road.” Trust is relying on God to “work for the good” in every situation. A father once implored Jesus: “Lord, I believe, but help my unbelief.” Trust is hard, but you can trust in God Almighty. “God, I don’t know what you’re doing, I don’t like what’s happening, I want the story to be written differently, BUT I’m putting my full trust in YOU and trusting that YOU are working “for the good” in this situation. YOU ARE GOD ALMIGHTY. AMEN!”
