As I was trying to be still
and listen this morning, the Bible verse, “Be still and know that I am God” was
traipsing through my brain. I began to wonder what name for God is used in that
verse. So, like the good teacher I am, I turned to Strong’s Concordance for the
answer and look at what I found!
The word for God in Psalm
46:10 is, Elohim – Mighty Creator. Elohim is plural, Father, Son, Holy Spirit.
God spoke into my heart, “Be still with ALL of ME. Let the power and protection
of the Father give you courage. Let the forgiveness and cleansing of the Son
give you peace. Let the indwelling of the Holy Spirit give you hope. I AM the
Creator. I AM at the beginning and I AM at the end and I AM with you now.”
So what are the Hebrew
words for the rest of the verse? The word for word translation is: Relax/sink
down and know (the same word as Adam knew his wife) Mighty Creator.
I live in a gorgeous place.
Everyday I get to ooh and aah at God’s marvelous creation. Today I choose to
let my surroundings remind me that Elohim wants me to relax with Him.
Serendipitous gem: Psalm
46 was written by the Sons of Korah. When I googled Sons of Korah, I found a
music group by that name. They have youtube videos. Take a listen.
This one has Dutch
subtitles for my Nederlandse vrienden.
