The Lord Almighty

This morning as I was reading my email devotionals, God asked me the ? that was being asked: What comes to your mind when you hear the words "The Lord Almighty"? I realized that I also had in-the-box thinking or a mindset that had been drilled into me. I have to tell ya that as I began to let Him expand yet another concept of who HE Is, I was just blown away. To picture our God putting on battle gear and picking up a sword and leading armies to come and fight for me was so humbling and powerful. I was filled with such awe, joy and excitement that I could hardly bear it. I began to really see this picture of a God who loves us with such a fierce and protective love that He will allow nothing to stand in His way to get to us. My mind can hardly comprehend this. It gives new meaning to "If God is for us, who can be against us" thinking. This is reality! This is truth! I feel like one of those people who has been standing, listening to their leader as he is rallying the weary and the discouraged to arise with renewed strength and hope. I am shouting yes, yes, yes with arms lifted high. We have a God who is at war on our behalf. The words to one of my favorite songs: "if God is for us, who then shall we fear" has a whole new meaning. I never want to parrot words these words "The Lord Almighty" again. I want them to be alive and active in my life. Yes, yes, yes The Lord Almighty is my God!
Shalom
