When he has done this, then the Son himself will be made subject to him who put everything under him, so that God may be all in all.

1 Corinthians 15:28

In times like these, let us remember that there is only One God, who is over all, knows all, controls all and loves all. He is the God who invites us to call him Father. The One who promises never to leave us nor forsake us. The God who declares he will share his glory with no one. The God who watches our coming in and our going out. The Almighty who knows how many strands of hair are on each one of our heads. The Savior who declares touch not my anointed ones. To him we owe gratitude, obedience, trust, praise, and adoration because it is he who has brought us this far. Amid the harsh rhetoric of our fallen world let us together declare on this day:

He is Jehovah-Rohi-The Lord my Shepherd (Psalm 23)

He is Jehovah-Jireh-The Lord my provider (Hebrews 11:17-19)

He is Jehovah-Rapha-The Lord who heals (Exodus 15:25-26)

He is the Jehovah-Nissi-The Lord is my banner (Exodus 17:11-12)

He is Jehovah-M’Kaddesh-The Lord who sanctifies (Leviticus 11:44)

He is Jehovah-Shalom-The Lord who is peace (Judges 6:24)

He is Jehovah-Tsidkenu-The Lord who is righteousness (Jeremiah 23:5-6)

He is Jehovah-Shammah-The Lord who is there (Ezekiel 48:35)

Brothers and sisters, our LORD is near, let us prepare ourselves for his coming and let us live lives that testify to the world that He is our all. AMEN.
