Jehovah

I heard the other day about a conversation in which people who do know God believe they shouldn’t bother Him with what they would consider a trivial request. One lady felt it was wrong to ask God for a parking space near a store’s door when it is raining.

If you have read these blogs for very long, then you know how I feel about this subject. If it matters to you, then it matters to God. No matter how minuscule your concern may be to you. I have asked God to help me move, fix, heal, lift, and do various other things, and He has. I have asked him to keep me safe, and He has. I have personally had God perform many miracles in my life and have received several loving and thoughtful gifts after another.

God loves us so much. I wish people would realize that and act as if they believed it. I keep my awe and respect for God, but I communicate with Him like I would a good friend. I don’t think of God as an “In Case of Emergency Break the Glass” God. He’s not a personal “Jeannie” either! But I have no issues with making my request known. It’s up to Him and His wisdom to answer or not. God is relatable. He knows what you are going through, and He actually cares about it.

I challenge you to go deeper with God. Give Him a chance to demonstrate who He really is. Study the names of God, and believe they are more than just a title. Now that I think about them, a lot of them are more like “verbs!” Jehovah-Rapha means, “God who heals.” Jehovah-Jireh means, “The Lord will provide.” Palet means, “Deliverer.”

God is everything you need! The sooner you agree to that and accept it, the better off you will be.
