Praise for the Lord’s Mercies : BY CATHERIN SKINNER

Bless the Lord, O my soul; and all that is within me, bless His holy name! Psalms 103:1, 8-14 NKJV

The Lord is merciful and gracious; slow to anger, and abounding in mercy. He knows our frame; he remembers that we are dust.

 

Let us not forget all his benefit; for his mercies are for everlasting to everlasting on those who fear Him. You say what are the Lords benefits? His are forgiveness for all our iniquities, healing for all our diseases, and redemption for our lives from destructions. He crowns us with loving-kindness and tender mercies, so that our youth in renewed like the eagles.

 

JEHOVAH-JIREH MEANS "THE LORD WILL SEE." Genesis 22:12-14. Jehovah-jireh tells us that the Lord will see our great need. God constantly sees the needs of his children and provides for them.

 

Jehovah-Rapha - "The Lord That Healeth Thee" Exodus 15:25-26 JEHOVAH-RAPHA IS THE HEALER OF ALL OUR TROUBLES. Though our days on this earth are few, they are full of trouble. He heals all our sicknesses. And he heals our souls. "If you diligently heed the voice of the Lord your God and do what is right in His sight, give ear to His commandments and keep all His statutes, I will put none of the diseases on you which I have brought on the Egyptians. For I am the Lord who heals you." "Surely He has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; yet we esteemed Him stricken, smitten by God and afflicted. But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement for our peace was upon Him, and by His stripes we are healed." Isaiah 53:4-5 

 

Jehovah Nissi: The Lord Is My Banner. When your battle is over you will have the right to replace your enemy's flag with your own. Set it on high for all to see that Jehovah Nissi is your God who has secured your victory. God is saying there will always be war; don't be surprised by it. He is also saying he is always the winner.

 

Jehovah-Shalom - the Lord our Peace. Judges 6:12-16 "Peace be with you; do not fear, you shall not die." And then Gideon built an alter in that place and called it THE-LORD-IS-PEACE: Jehovah-Shalom.

In the spiritual realm however, weakness is our greatest asset. You see here God mercies takes control of our weaknesses in this world over all our troubles and battles.

"My grace is sufficient for you, for my strength is made perfect in weakness.” 2 Corinthians 12:9 -10b "For when I am weak, then I am strong.” Roman 8:31 tells us "if God is for us who can be against us?”

 

Jehovah - Rohi - "Jehovah, my Shepherd" Psalm 23:1 "The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.” The Lord knows what we long for because he created us and understands our nature better than we understand ourselves. Recognizing our deep need, he calls us to see him as the

 

Jehovah-M'Kaddesh - the Lord our Sanctifier. The Lord says: "Consecrate yourselves and be holy, because I am the Lord your God. Keep my decrees and follow them. I am the Lord, who makes you holy." (Leviticus 20:7-8) God wraps us in the cloak of his own holiness until we are totally transformed into something we could not be except for him and his great grace. He shares his own character and nature with us through Jesus Christ. The scripture tells us that through God's divine power and our knowledge of him, "he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature and escape the corruption in the world caused by evil desires." (2 Peter 1:4) That's being sanctified; that's being holy. That is the transformation that Jehovah-M'Kaddesh provides.

 

Jehovah-Shammah - The Lord is There  Ezekiel 48:35;  God is always all around us no matter what we may endure. His presence is there for us to call upon reach out to. Praise Him for as the heavens are high above the earth, so great is His mercy toward those who fear Him; and as far as the east is from the west which there is no measurement! Praise Him Beloved’s for what He has done for you.
