Shalom,
Today I want to share again from Kenneth E. Hagin's "Faith Food" devotional! THIS is one of my favorites!
El Shaddai
And when
Abram was ninety years old and nine, the Lord appeared to Abram, and said unto
him, I AM THE ALMIGHTY GOD; walk before me, and be thou perfect. — GENESIS
17:1
The original
Hebrew of this Old Testament verse reads that God said, “I am El Shaddai.”
God was
revealed to Israel by seven covenant names, one of which was El Shaddai — which
literally means “the God who is more than enough,” or “the All-Sufficient One.”
It will help
your faith to think of God as “the One who is more than enough!”
Throughout
the Old Testament, God revealed Himself as El Shaddai — the God who is more
than enough. For example, as God was bringing the children of Israel out of
Egyptian bondage, Pharaoh’s soldiers went after them to recapture them and make
them slaves again. On one side of the children of Israel was the wilderness; on
the other side, mountains. The Red Sea lay before them. They seemingly were
boxed in, but they looked to God — the God who is more than enough — and He
divided the sea! He congealed the depths in the heart of the sea (Exodus 15:8)!
He froze the waters! The waters stood up on each side like a wall, and Israel
walked across to the other side. Our God is more than enough!
Confession: My
Father is El Shaddai, the God who is more than enough. He’s more than any
mountain to my right. He’s more than any enemy behind me. He’s more than any
obstacle before me. He is my very own Father. And He is El Shaddai — the God
who is more than enough!
AMEN! And don't EVER let yourself forget it! HE is ALWAYS FOR YOU! Here is Hillsong Worship with "Secret Place/Waiting (Spontaneous)":
Shalom in Him!
