from the pen of Linda Briggs To restore ~ to bring back or restore to its original position. In the Scriptures the Lord Who Restores always increases, multiplies or improves better than before! “I will restore to you the years that the locust has eaten” etc (Joel 2v21~26) God restored to Job twice as much as […]
from the pen of Linda Briggs I have been looking at the different names and character of God. One of the names that impacted me this week is The God Who Remembers! I felt I would share this because I believe that there are those of us who have been praying and believing God for […]
Immanuel was not the name Jesus was known by on earth, but was a description of His role as the Messiah prophesied by Isaiah (7:14). It’s good to be reminded that God is with us. We need to hold on to the truth of this, especially in this pandemic season of uncertainty, loss, questions and […]
There is another very, very important lesson to learn from yesterday’s Psalm! And it has to do with REALITY. The Christian experiences TWO strands of reality – the visible and the invisible – the seen and the unseen. We enjoy them both together – NOW! That is what a study of “the names of God” […]
We have been trying to help several people at the moment who are struggling with various intractable problems. I suppose that is the “default” human position? It made me think of Psalm 55:22, “Cast your cares on the LORD” (NIV). Older translations say, “Cast your BURDENS….” – The NIV correctly sees David in this Psalm […]
“El Olam” is a name of God that comes comparatively few times, yet it reveals a wonderful aspect of His character. It means “the Everlasting God.” Its meaning is a little difficult to convey, because the Hebrew word “Olam” can’t be expressed in one particular English word. In Hebrew, “Olam” means: “everlasting”…“evermore”…“old”…“ancient time”…“beginning of the […]
The many names and titles given to God in the Bible contain a revelation of His person and character, and His purposes towards humankind, of which even Christian people are sometimes unaware. Names mean little to us – for us they are just “labels” to help us identify people. BUT in the East it is […]
The word “god” in English is almost, if not completely meaningless. We need to give it “content” and “context” to have meaning – which is why we looking at the Bible’s names for God. They tell us so much about His being, His character and His activity. We are going to look at a very […]
Today we look at “Jehovah Shammah” – “The Lord is there” (Ezekiel 48:35). This name for God is not limited in its application to the City and age to come, it conveys a truth which has been a great reality and comfort to God’s people in every age. So we don’t need to wait for […]
Today’s name for God is “Jehovah-tsidkenu” – “The Lord our Righteousness” (Jeremiah 23:6). It is a distinctly Messianic title. All the way through the Bible we see God as a “Righteous God” and One who demands that we are “holy” too (Leviticus 11:44; 19:2; 20:7; 7:26). And right through the Bible the way we are […]
