Adonai Yahweh

Lord... I AM... The Sovereign Lord. 
I'm reading Mary Kassian's Knowing God and I am loving it.  How amazing is it that our great God has so many names?  Each name identifies with a different aspect of His character, and of course He is so multifaceted...after all, He is Lord!  He IS...

The last lesson of the week was on Adonai Yahweh, meaning Sovereign Lord.  Sovereign- A person who has extreme or ultimate power or authority.  Lord- A master or leader; one who has authority...

With authority comes great responsibility.  That means that God, as our Lord, is responsible for our care. He does it because He loves us.  We don't have to worry about our needs being met.  This isn't saying we'll get everything our hearts desire, but He knows what we need before we ask.  And sovereign... the lesson had Bible verses backing up what all He was sovereign over, which is everything!

Think about it... He spoke the world in existence.  Those powerful waves crashing on the shore?  He can hold them in the palm of His hand.  That roaring lion in the Sahara?  He will one day make it lie down with the lamb.  He controls the thunder and lightning and blizzards and hurricanes. He controls the sun and rain and the snow and ice. He tells the sun when to shine and created that big old supermoon so many of us looked at the other night.   He tells the angels what to do and even has limits on Satan. He is sovereign over us, but gives us the free will to choose His salvation. 

Tonight, I'm thinking of How Great He Is.  I know this video is long, but if you have a chance, click on it.  He's great, and sovereign.  Won't you worship with me?
