*RESTORATION TODAY - _LAWNA INTERNATIONAL CONVENTION – DAY 2_*
*SUNDAY, AUGUST 2, 2020.*
*TOPIC: THE NAMES OF GOD (1)*
_“That men may know that thou, whose name alone is Jehovah, art the most high over all the earth.” Psalm 83:18._
*MESSAGE*
Names often have meanings. Throughout the Bible, we're told what people's names mean and why they were called that particular name. And it's the same with the names of God. Each name has a meaning and can reveal a different aspect of His character.
The Israelites called God 'Jehovah', a name they regarded as incommunicable and incomprehensible. The name means the 'self-existing One,' and the 'I Am.' He was the Creator of all things; an awesome and unknowable supreme being. But God desired to be known in a personal way. So He added to the name Jehovah five revealing titles – to help us better understand and relate to Him. Let's look at each one over the next few days.
*1. Jehovah-Jireh: It Means 'the Lord Who Sees' Or 'the Lord Will Provide.'*
Abraham was about to sacrifice his son when God provided a lamb for the offering in Isaac's place. In response, Abraham called Him Jehovah-Jireh, the Lord who sees and provides. And it doesn't just apply to Abraham. The New Testament says that God sees our needs and provides answers. Jesus assured us of this in Matthew 6:31-33.
We might wonder why we don't have everything we want. God doesn't provide all the things we want, He provides the things we need. And He knows what we need better than we do. So instead of worrying and striving, let's remember that God is Jehovah-Jireh — the One who provides for all our needs.
*ACTION POINT*
?️Take some time today to make a list of all the things God has provided you with. Then spend time thanking Him for each one.
*SCRIPTURES*
Matthew 6:31-33; Genesis 22:14.
*PRAYER POINTS*
1. Lord, I thank You for always providing for me.
2. Father, You see me; deliver me from all who contend with me in the name of Jesus.
3. Lord, provide for me and make me a blessing to others in the name of Jesus.
*THE BIBLE OF THE YEAR*
1 Sam. 6-7, Isa. 48, 2 Cor. 9.
