For thou art my hope, O Lord God; thou art my trust from my youth. Cast me not off in the time of old age; forsake me not when my strength fails.
Psalm 71 verses 5 and 9.
When I am most vulnerable, the Lord will sustain me.
I will remember His love and his kindness from the time of my youth.
All my life, he will be good to me.
He is my hope, and in Him, do I put my trust.
Sing, unto God, sing praises to his name: extol him that ride the upon the heavens by his name JAH, and rejoice before him.
Psalm 68 verse 4.
Who is he, and what is his name?
He is the Lord almighty who called the things that are not into existence.
The one who rides on the wi d in Majesty and Glory.
The one who kills and makes alive.
The one who has the power to destroy every living creature on the earth with the wave of his hand.
His voice is like thunder, and from his face, the heavens flee away and tremble.
Great is his faithfulness to his people.
Great is his love and mercy. His compassion is renewed all day long.
For He spake, and it was done; He commanded, and it stood fast. God quickened the dead and called those things, which be not as though they were.
God is the creator.
He gives life where there is death.
God is mighty, and He is holy.
Blessed be our God and our Father.
(Adapted from Psalm 33 verse 9 and Romana 4 verse 17)

Breakdown of the Gospel of Matthew
Adonai in Hebrew means God is my Lord.
We name people or things to give them value or to put them in a category. Sometimes a given name is chosen on a lark or because of some significance. A name is how we are called and gives the owner of that name meaning.
The God of the old testament has a name, Jehovah or Yahweh, Yehowah which is a hybrid form from Latin letters JHVH with the vowels of Adonai. Adonai in Hebrew means God is my Lord.
This month of May is a new beginning where we will in this blog discuss and learn more about God, in so doing our relationship with him and understanding him will grow. And therefore, the more we read about him, the more our hearts yearn for him, to be close to him.
And the Angel of the Lord said unto him, “Why ask thou thus after my name, seeing it is secret.” Judges 13:18
