“The Lord is a warrior; Yahweh is his name!” – Exodus 15:3 (NLT)

This powerful verse from the book of Exodus paints a vivid picture of God as a mighty warrior. It is a declaration of His strength, His power, and His unwavering commitment to protect and deliver His people. This verse is part of the Song of Moses, a hymn of praise sung by the Israelites after their miraculous escape from Egypt and the crossing of the Red Sea. It serves as a reminder of God’s sovereignty and His ability to triumph over any adversary.

Supporting Scriptures

  1. Psalm 24:8 (NLT): “Who is the King of glory? The Lord, strong and mighty; the Lord, invincible in battle.”
  2. Isaiah 42:13 (NLT): “The Lord will march forth like a mighty hero; he will come out like a warrior, full of fury. He will shout his battle cry and crush all his enemies.”
  3. Revelation 19:11 (NLT): “Then I saw heaven opened, and a white horse was standing there. Its rider was named Faithful and True, for he judges fairly and wages a righteous war.”

These scriptures collectively emphasize God’s role as a divine warrior, fighting for justice and righteousness. They remind us that God is not passive but actively involved in the battles we face, both seen and unseen.

Reflective Questions

  1. In what areas of your life do you need to see God as a warrior fighting on your behalf?
  2. How can you trust in God’s strength and power when facing your own battles?
  3. What does it mean to you personally that Yahweh is His name, and how does this impact your relationship with Him?

Moral Takeaways

  1. God’s Strength: We can rely on God’s strength in times of trouble. He is our defender and protector.
  2. Divine Intervention: God intervenes in our lives, often in ways we cannot see or understand, to bring about His purposes.
  3. Faith and Trust: Our faith in God as a warrior encourages us to trust Him more deeply, knowing that He is always fighting for us.

Meditative Thoughts

  • Reflect on the times God has fought battles for you, whether you were aware of it or not.
  • Meditate on the name “Yahweh” and what it signifies about God’s eternal presence and unchanging nature.
  • Consider how you can embody the strength and courage of God in your daily life.

 Prayer

“Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You and recognize that You are our mighty warrior, Yahweh, the One who fights for us and delivers us from all harm. We thank You for Your unwavering love and protection. Lord, help us to lean on You in every battle we face. May we always remember that You are with us, guiding us, and fighting for us. Fill our hearts with courage and faith, knowing that with You, we are never alone. We honor You, Christ, and we thank You for Your sacrificial love that has given us victory over sin and death. In Your precious name, we pray. Amen.”

But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

DEAR GOD: I believe In Your Goodness~

THE GOODNESS OF GOD - YouTube

1 Corinthians 15:55 –“Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?”

I really believe that there are more “good” than “bad” in the world. I personally think that the news likes to show sensationalism and not sweet peaceful stories. People tend to seek the “abnormal” more than the “norm.”

A friend of mine was stating how evil everyone is in the world today. She was on a roll that lasted for about 25 minutes. I mean she was going on and on. It was negative and dark and didn’t look like there was any stopping her caustic dialogue. Until I said, “Please-enough!” She stopped on a dime.  I then said, “There is still good in the world. God is good all the time, and all those who follow Him – His light is in them, and they are inherently good.”  She didn’t say anything for a while then realized she was caught up in a negative energy of the prince of the air – and was forgetting about the King of the Universe! The devil likes to whisper and entice you to spread negativity and anger and disgust, and that was my friend. For a moment she was caught up in it.

When we take the time to realize that Jesus is victorious- we can get back on the track of reality. Yes- the harsh reality right now is that the world is in kind of a chaotic mode, and the dark is seemingly overtaking the light. However, Stop! And know that Jesus Reigns Supreme and conquered the grave!  The sting of death – is non-existent! Praise Him! He gets the victory all the time.

We need to reinforce His Word and let it mesh within our being. The Word should be in our brain, heart and soul. It is there to reach and bring us back to the joyous fact that Jesus is King of kings and LORD of lords, and He Reigns forever!

So – if you get melancholy about the sight of the world as it stands, look up and embrace His Word to fill you with inspiration and hope, and courage to face the day and days ahead.

Here are just a few of inspirational verses for you to meditate upon, to give you hope and solidify how Great the Great I AM is! Never forget – The One and only King -and the One we owe our lives and all things!

Remember, no matter how harsh the winds that seem to be blowing in your face, God is there to be a buffer for us. He is the One who controls all things, including the weather, and our breath that we breathe! Amen! Thank You Sweet LORD!

Deuteronomy 20:4 For the LORD your God is the one who goes with you to fight for you against your enemies to give you victory.”

John 16:33 –“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”

Ephesians 6:10 –Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power.

1 John 5:4 –for everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith.

Joshua 10:8 –  The LORD said to Joshua, “Do not be afraid of them; I have given them into your hand. Not one of them will be able to withstand you.”

Proverbs 21:31–The horse is made ready for the day of battle, but victory rests with the LORD.

1 Corinthians 15:57 -But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

“Father, thank You, I know You are victorious and through Your blood and the name of Christ, I am able to withstand in Your name all things, and know that I am protected by Your promises and Your love and Your grace, in Jesus’ name, Amen.”
