Topic: Proverbs 18:10 [John Hagee Devotional 9 May 2020]

The name of the Lord is a strong tower; the righteous run to it and are safe

Throughout the Bible, names are often linked with the purposes of God. Abraham means father of multitudes. Eve was the mother of all who were living. God renamed Jacob, the deceiver, to become Israel, he who prevails with God.

When Moses asked God Whom he should tell the Israelites had sent him to deliver them, God responded, “I AM.” Day after day, He revealed more of Himself through miraculous exploits.

The current situation has driven us into our homes and to our knees. He is revealing Himself as Jehovah Shammah, the Lord Who is there.

When the funds have dwindled and resources are gone, He is Jehovah Jireh, our Provider. He has the provision before we state the need.

When anxiety threatens to overwhelm, He is Jehovah Shalom, our Peace. He calms every fear and fills us with a peace that guards our hearts and minds.

Greater than any virus, sickness or disease, He is Jehovah Rophe, the God Who heals us. The stripes on Jesus’ back purchased our healing.

He is Jehovah Nissi, the Banner over us. When we align ourselves with God, we fight under His banner and with His help. The battle already belongs to Him!

There is a name above every other name. That name is Jesus! Call on Him in the day of trouble, and He will answer and deliver.

Blessing:

May the Lord bless you and keep you. May the Lord make His face to shine upon you and be gracious unto you and give you His peace. Jesus watches over you. Declare His name as the banner that will lead you to victory!
