So today we will look at the first name: JEHOVAH ELOHAY- The LORD, my God. This God is the One on whom we can call when we need a Miracle, and know that He will work on our behalf. M.H.
Elohay Kedem - God of the Beginning: (Deuteronomy 33:27). THE ETERNAL GOD.
Deu 33:27 The eternal God is thy dwelling-place, And underneath are the everlasting arms. And he thrust out the enemy from before thee, And said, Destroy.
Notes: “The eternal God is our hiding place; he carries us in his arms.” he is the One who has been from the beginning from the eternal past, The Creator of all things. He is our Hiding place, our dwelling place, our refuge.
“J.Gill : and he is the refuge of his people, the antitype of the cities of refuge, to whom sinners, under a sense of sin, flee for refuge; and where they are safe from avenging justice, the wrath of God, the condemnation of the law, everlasting ruin and destruction, or the second death; or their "mansion", or "dwelling place" (k); which he has been in all generations, as Moses also says, Psa_90:1”
And underneath are the everlasting arms, (and he carries us in His arms) J. Gill says: “that is, of God, which are the support of his people, and their protection, safety, and security; such as the arms of his everlasting love, which encircle them, and compass them about as a shield; “
Elohay Mishpat - God of Justice: (Isaiah 30:18).
Isa 30:18 The LORD God is waiting to show how kind he is and to have pity on you. The LORD always does right; he blesses those who trust him.
For the Lord is a God of judgment - He will do what is right. He will spare the nation still; and yet establish among them the true religion, and they shall flourish. Despite all their sins He will do what is right.
blessed are all those who wait for him. Our Justice comes from the LORD who the God of Justice and Judgment.
Barnes “
Blessed are all they that wait for him - This seems to have been recorded to encourage them, when the threatened calamities should come upon them, to put their confidence in God, and to trust that he would yet appear and restore the nation to himself. This verse is the commencement of the annunciation of the blessings which should yet be conferred on them. The description of these blessings is continued to Isa_30:26.”
Applications.
1. The God of the beginning, Elohay Kedem, is our HIDING PLACE. We run into Him and are safe. He supports us and carries us with His everlasting Arms.
2. You can trust the Lord to ALWAYS DO WHAT IS RIGHT. So look to the LORD and wait for Him. If you are going through desperate days then be encouraged and put your trust in Him.
