Who?

The Bible I am using for my "Read the Bible in One Year" is the NIV Women's Devotional Bible. As I was reading tonight, Job 35-37, I noticed a devotion based on chapter 36, verses 21-33. After reading the three chapters I read the devotion and am so glad I did. Below is taken from this devotion:

Instead of trying to fix or control my struggles or circumstances, rather than trying to figure out the what, when, where and why of my struggle, focus instead on Who:

  • God is Elohim - the Creator, who made me for a purpose.
  • God is El Elyon - God Most High, whose ways are higher than my ways.
  • God is El Roi - the God who sees and knows where I am and how I feel.
  • God is El Shaddai - the Lord God Almighty, the one who can change me or walk with me through my circumstances as surely as He can send rain from heaven.
