It Will Not Come Near You. What Are You Afraid of?

Yet to Be #297

In righteousness shalt thou be established: thou shalt be far from oppression; for thou shalt not fear; and from terror; for it shall not come near thee. Isaiah 54 verse 14

What do you fear?

Homelessness, unemployment, loneliness, poor health, death?

Whatever it is we have all faced the cold steely eyes of terror;

That dark emotion called fear grips your heart;

Torments your mind until you begin living in a constant panic about something you dare not name;

of something too great for you to keep in check; too dangerous it invades every waking moment.

until it descends deep into the bowels of your soul, of your very being.

You cannot eat; you cannot sleep.

Consumed with a myriad of paralyzing thoughts, life becomes bleak at times even, unbearable.

Fear Not.

You are not alone.

There is help.

A very present help when you are in trouble.

He is our help. Jehovah Ezer.

He is our shield. Jehovah Magen.

He is our provider. Jehovah Jireh.

He is our healer. Jehovah Rophe.

He is our protector. Jehovah Nissi.

He is our peace. Jehovah Shalom.

Fear Not.

The name of Jehovah is a strong tower.

What’s in a name continues..

The Bible introduces God and the Son (Elohim) in Genesis. The Father and the Son were together in time past, coequal, coeternal, and coexistent. Studying the names and titles of God gives us a rich understanding of who he is. The more we learn of him the better we can follow him and please him.
Elohei means “God of” as seen in Genesis 31:53 “ the God of Abraham, and the God of Nahor…”
Elohei Kedem “eternal God” appearing in Deuteronomy 33:27 “The eternal God is thy refuge and underneath are the everlasting arms.”
Eternity has no time.
It changes not and is forever without ending or beginning. God is not a man. He is and was and will always be. Elohei Kedem is a fact, it is who he is and speaks of him as above all.
“Yes, before the day was I am he, (before time was) and there is none that can deliver out of my hand. I will work and who shall let it? Thus saith the Lord your redeemer.” Isaiah 43:13.
