THE HEBREW NAMES FOR GOD

Jehovah-m'kaddesh the thrice-Holy One
With glory surrounding His throne
All heaven and earth in oneness proclaim
His majesty reigneth alone.

Jehovah-tsidkenu the sole righteous One
In dazzling Glory revealed
The guilt of a world in its bondage to sin
Man's judgment forever is sealed.

Jehovah-jireh is the God who provides
A Lamb without blemish or stain
The proof of His love and His grace to atone
Are for those who call on His name.

Jehovah-rapha by whose stripes we are healed
From the sins of our bitter past
Bids us drink from the water that never runs dry
Then its sweetness forever will last.

Jehovah-nissi by His banner proclaims
The victory on Calvary's cross
Giving us power to face all our foes
In Jesus count all things but loss.

Jehovah-rohi the good Shepherd will lead
Through life's deepest valley below
In verdant green pastures of peace we may rest
His grace all-sufficient to know.

Jehovah-shalom is the giver of peace
Though wars and destruction appear
The prophets foretell at the end of the age
The coming of Jesus is near.

Jehovah-shammah will always be there
And will never forsake His own
In the power and strength of His Spirit each day
We shall conquer until we reach Home.
(Lev.19:2;Jer.23:5-6;Gen.22:14;Ex.15:22-26;)
( Ex.17:15; Ps.23:1;Judg.6:23-24;Ezek.48:35)
--B. Pent

First let me say, what a beautiful post - it blessed me a lot to read that. Thank you! :)

And now, haha... I have not run away from home because they feed me here. :D Why would you think SC? That's interesting! Sorry about the posts... I haven't been in a blogging mood of late. There isn't much to write about for one thing, but even if I didn't ramble about thoughts I'm not sure I'd want people reading them - ya know? Do you feel that way sometimes? As for pictures - they really aren't posting. SO silly! Just spent a couple hours going through and deleting some pics/posts though, so we'll see if that helps. Anyway, enough about me! How are YOU? Thank you so much for the love - it means a lot. Truly. <3
