Yes, there are many more Names for Jehovah God. Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. I will never leave you nor forsake you." (John 14:6, Hebrews 13:5B). 'We bless You, our Rock and Redeemer! We know that You are always in control. Forgive us for our sins. Help us to live for You.' --WORRY-FREE ~~ -[Today's reading: Psalm 37:1-9] -Do not fret because of those who are evil..." (v.1) -Trying to stay aware of current events has its downside because bad news sells better than good news. It's easy to become overly concerned about the criminal acts of individuals, crowds, or governments over whom we have no control.Psalm 37 give perspective to the daily news. David begins by saying, "Do not fret because of those who are evil" (v.1).Then he proceeds to outline for us some alternatives to becoming overly anxious. In essence, David suggests a better way of thinking about negative news in our world. What would happen if, instead of worrying about events beyond our control, we chose to trust in the LORD? (v.3) Wouldn't we be better off to "take delight in the LORD" (v.4) rather than fret without limits? Imagine the freedom from worry we could have if we would "commit [our] way to the LORD" (v.5). And how calm we could be by learning to "be still before the LORD and wait patiently for him!" (v.7). News of trouble we cannot change offers us an opportunity to set boundaries for our concerns. As we trust God, commit our ways to Him, and rest in Him, our outlook brightens. The struggles and trials may not disappear, but we will discover that He gives us His peace in the midst of them. We live in a fallen world. Because of Adam and Eve's first sin in the Garden of Eden, the whole world is cursed, until Jesus returns to gather us, His people. ~~ 'Lord, we see danger and trouble all around us. Help us not to worry but instead to trust and rest in You, our all-knowing God. Show us the peace that comes from waiting patiently on You, our Omnipotent One. You are in control. We simply trust and wait on You, our Rock and Redeemer. We praise and bless You, Yeshua HaMashiach! amen~'--ODB/DB- 'I Will Be Here' / Gary Valenciano< https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8t0b1q3YmZQ> -----
