Great is My Thankfulness...

“The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases. His mercies never come to an end.” Are you singing with me?
​

Since He is a Person of the God-head, those names apply to God as well. How can we not focus on Him during and after reading such picture-forming titles? To me, the most powerful name (if such a thing exists when it comes to our God) is YAHWEH.
​
It is natural to draw in a breath on Yah and exhale on weh. Try it. I’ve sung lyrics that say breathe in His grace and breathe out His praise. It brings to mind the way God breathed creation into existence and life into Adam.
​

YAHWEH

​Yahweh
Breathe in His grace
Yahweh
Breathe out His praise
Yahweh

Yahweh
The life sustainer

​Thanks be to God for all He has done. The world fades away in His presence. May you be eternally grateful this November, and focus on Him as you decorate for Christmas.
