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.)
