Now to Him who is able to do far more abundantly beyond all that we ask or think, according to the power that works within us, to Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations forever and ever. Amen. -Ephesians 3:20-21 (NASB)
God does pretty amazing things. Fact.
God is good even when I'm confused. Fact.
God knows. Fact.
Jehovah Nissi means "The Lord Our Banner"
Jehovah translated from Hebrew means "The Existing One" It has an implication of God revealing himself. Nissi describes how the Lord is our banner. He goes before us. He is a source of encouragement and hope.
There is a song, Come to Me, by Bethel Music, that nicely encapsulates this idea of being surrounded with providence and protection. It's a wondrous picture. Our fears are exchanged for confidence. Our anxieties calm in His presence which is nearer than we perceive. Because we are able, through his strength, to keep going, pressing in and moving forward to complete our mission whatever directive he has given us can be done.
Four months ago I had a dream that I was pregnant. The doctor told me that it had been confirmed by a blood test. He also mentioned that I was six months along. At first I had a vague notion that this was about writing my testimony. Then I shared with my mom my dream and we talked about how I also wanted to host an event at church for women. Those plans came to fruition on a Saturday night in June. It was an evening of lifting up praise to God and giving hope through a message of restoration.
In the works are nights at church that include worship by music followed by testimonies of salvation and moving of the Spirit in people's lives. It was inspiring to say the least. God, as usual, was awesome, faithful, and abundant in his promises fulfilled.
