ELOHIM

An Acrostic

of

E L O H I M

A Name of God

meaning

All Powerful One, Creator

E

Everything that moves, on earth, in water and in sky,

Elegantly proclaiming the awesome glory of God on high

Eyes lifting to heavenly realms where

crimson, saffron, and indigo colors delight

Everywhere in splendor as the sun sets low giving me

the inky black and star studded night for a respite.

ELOHIM,

All powerful One, Creator

From the mysteries of the Hubble photos to the magnificence

of deep sea creatures hidden through the ages but revealed in my time

You bless me with your resplendent world.

L

Lord and Master of the cosmos You created and detailed in wonder

Lovingly You brought it forth with flashes of light and crashes of thunder

Looking forward to forming Your children from all eternity;

creating them for fellowship with You.

Leading me on to know Your love, by my side,

guiding me to grow in wisdom

and virtue

ELOHIM,

All powerful One, Creator

Creator of your wondrous universe and of those

You made in Your image and likeness.

O

Oh Lord, what did I do to merit such an astronomical reward

and extraordinary regard

Of you obliterating from Your memory that I am sinful and quite scarred

Overlaying my repented wickedness with your boundless sensibility and

limitless tenderness of action

Opening the way to help me prepare and inviting me to live

with You in your eternal heavenly mansion.

ELOHIM,

All powerful One, Creator,

You gave your Son to live on earth to guide, to teach,

 and to offer me salvation.

H

Hearing my cries to You, oh God, You show me how to hearken to your voice

Helping me to grow in the ways of Your love, I choose

and in you I will always rejoice

Hope is the gift You have provided me which empowers my faith

 in things dreamed of but still unseen

Healing my despair and giving me boldness to expect, that the day when my

my time to become truly eternal will at last convene.

ELOHIM,

All powerful One, Creator,

You prepare a place for me to joyfully live

with You in perpetuity.

I

Infinite, immeasurable, inestimable, demonstrating glory beyond

 my ability to to have comprehended.

Immensity of your love and generosity such that any understanding

that I might have, in heaven finally will be mended

Injustice happens, and though I wonder why, I know that my promise is not

earthly, it will be part of my future guaranteed assurance

I will be with you forever in the heavenly gardens
filled with Your sweet fragrance.

ELOHIM,

All powerful One, Creator,

You are beyond my ability to grasp, which gives me such love

as with my limited human ability I can achieve.

 

M

Maker of all that is good, filled with kindness, and a desire for blessing me

Madness is in this world, but You have given me tools

to overcome it and a heightened ability

Magnanimous is a pale word to describe all that You do for me

and for all Your children to come to that magnetic

Moment when we will arrive at your celestial gates because with your

support we will have won all our earthly combats.

ELOHIM,

All powerful One, Creator,

I wait down here on earth for the day when I will meet You

face to face and sing Your praises with fellow citizens of paradise.

ONE MINUTE EACH NIGHT

ONE MINUTE EACH NIGHT

This is the scariest election we as Christians have ever faced, and from the looks of the polls, the Christians aren't voting Christian values. We all need to be on our knees. Do you believe we can take God at His word? Call upon His name, then stand back and watch His wonders unfold. This scripture gives us, as Christians, ownership of this land and the ability to call upon God to heal it. I challenge you to do that. We have never been more desperate than now for God to heal our land.

This election is the scariest I remember in my lifetime. Here is a good scripture wirh a promise of God to remember and pray....

 2 Chronicles 7:14.

'If my people, which are called by my name shall humble themselves,

 and pray, and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways,

then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin,

and will heal their land.'

 

During WWII, there was an advisor to Churchill, who organized a group of people who dropped what they were doing every night at a prescribed hour for one minute, to collectively pray for the safety of England , its people and peace. This had an amazing effect, as bombing stopped. There is now a group of people organizing the same thing here in America .

The United States of America , and our citizens, need prayer more than ever!!! If you would like to participate, each evening at 9:00 P.M. Eastern Time (8 PM Central, 7 PM Mountain, 6 PM Pacific), stop whatever you're doing, and spend one minute praying for the safety of the United States, our troops, our citizens, for peace in the world, the upcoming election, that the Bible will remain the basis for the laws governing our land, and that Christianity will grow in the U.S.

If you know anyone who would like to participate, please pass this along. Someone said if people really understood the full extent of the power we have available through prayer, we might be speechless. Our prayers are the most powerful asset we have.

Thank you.

Jehova Jirah

I thought you who know my cousin Sally and have embraced her here would like to know the latest (and final I hope) chapter. For you who do not know her this is still a story of God's provision. Earlier this week we were getting pedicures when her phone rang. She hung up after telling someone she would get back to her, turned and stared at me with blank eyes. I go, "WHAT?" She said, "That was Hillcrest Gardens, and they have a studio available." At first, it did not compute in my addled brain. You may be asking what is Hillcrest Gardens? Well that is the very senior housing complex where she had hoped to get a place when we were running around putting in applications. When I finally figured it out I was dumbfounded. Based on the fact that all the senior housing places had told us it would be at least two years, we had looked elsewhere for a place for her to live. We finally settled on a mobile home (the least expensive place in Livermore which was at least $450 over her comfortable budget point) and on February 24th her family unpacked her and started putting things away. She and I put pics on the wall etc. Her first night to sleep there was March 2nd...JUST ON FRIDAY ONLY THREE DAYS BEFORE THE AFOREMENTIONED PHONE CALL!

So Sally called back and made an appt to see the place about an hour later. We were pleasantly surprised when we saw the unit because it is all one room. We thought it would be too small, but it has almost as much space as her mobile home has...and in several cases it is more convenient spaces than where she is now. In addition it has an amazing patio in front of the home. There are plans in the next several months to add about five feet onto the front of the living room and to make a wall between the bedroom area and the living room. As we talked we did the conversation of "what if" and "we could put this furniture in that space."

When we were on our way over there I was a bit skeptical, but I could almost immediately see the possibilities. She will have to do a bit more downsizing, but the important things like her sewing table, two very useful shelves and an antique hutch that I had given her will fit quite nicely. Of course her love seat and recliner that had been GIVEN to her will also fit.

Her rent will be $524 and that includes EVERYTHING...electric, gas, and cable. Her only extra expense will be her land phone if she decides to get one. This would make a savings of about $5,000 a year and allow her to be independent...not needing any financial help.

OK, now here is my take on this miracle. Everyone was praying for housing for Sally, and this is God's answer and miracle. He is sooo good. I was kidding around in the car with Sally and I said "Well God answered our prayers. but I dont get His timing...lol. Then I quickly said, "Just kidding, Lord." Later I did wonder if we had been guilty of not waiting on the Lord. My husband and I talked about it the next morning. He felt that we had reached the end of the time when we could just sit and wait without taking action.

I thought of my friend, Jackie's faith when she was looking for senior housing several years ago. She had waited on the Lord when she was needing a new place to live. I know that I could not have even dreamed that two years would turn into less than three months. Aparently the first person on the list had just moved into some other place, so Sally got bumped up to the first place. Still, I looked at things seen instead of things unseen. The bottom line is that God is never late. In fact when Jackie found out she emailed me with this comment, "Well, God is never late but He misses many opportunities to be early." HaHaHa...I got a good laugh from that.

The fact is that while He is never late we are often early in our expectations to answered prayers. Now the unpacking in the mobile home has stopped, and we will soon be repacking what is already unpacked. We will set to this task with joy and gratefulness to our Jehova Jirah. Sally's family will join the effort when moving time comes.

I am thrilled for my cousin; she means the world to me. We will weather this extra work of repacking and facing the manager of the mobile home park who has been wonderful to us. Sally will move to her new and "permanent" earthly home in early April, and all unpacking has stopped as of yesterday.

Heavenly Lord, Who is the maker of heaven and earth and even studio apartment miracles I thank You for Your miracles and Your unending love of us as You provide for all our needs. You never cease to amaze me, and I thank you for coming alongside my family to provide what is needed in life...in Your timing...in Your understanding of what we require...and in Your love of us. Amen.
