Good morning Salites,

I hope you had a good Sunday and were blessed by the worship and teaching from Redemption Gilbert. Kate and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

This will be my last devotion on the names of God for a while. We’ll end it with the very first name He identifies Himself to Moses; Yahweh (Jehovah) in Exodus 3 “I AM Who I AM…” The proper name of God.  Remember, the English language does not do God’s name justice.   The “I AM” (Yahweh, Jehovah) has the connotation of “I AM________________ (and fill in the blank with every attribute that is true of God.)  

Here is a sample listing, take your time looking up these marvelous verses:

• Spirit (John 4:24)
• Light (Is. 60:19)
• Merciful (Ex. 34:6,7)
• Love (1 John 4:8,16)
• Invisible (Job 23:8,9)
• Jealous (Josh. 24:19)
• Unsearchable (Job 11:7)
• Incorruptible (Rom. 1:23) 
• A consuming fire (Heb. 12:29)
• Eternal (Duet. 33:27)  
• Immortal (1 Tim. 1:17; 6:16) 
• After none (Is. 43:10)
• Omnipotent (Gen. 17:1)
• Omniscient (Ps. 139:1-6)
• The only good one (Matt. 19:17)
• Omnipresent (Ps. 139:7)
• Immutable (Ps. 102:26,27)
• Faithful (1 Cor. 10:13)
• Only-wise (Rom. 6:27) 
• Glorious (Ex. 15:11)
• Long-suffering (Micah 7:1)
