Psalm 20

Early in the morning this week, the Holy Spirit led me to Psalm 20 as a promise for me and for my family. As I read it again later this week, the first sentence captured me:

"May the Lord answer you when you are in distress, may the name of the God of Jacob protect you."

This led me to go back to some of my old school personal study and remind myself of some of the names of God in Scripture:

  • Jehovah-Jireh (the Lord will provide)
  • Jehovah-Nissi (the Lord my banner)
  • Jehovah-Shalom (the Lord send peace)
  • Jehovah-Shammah (The Lord is there)
  • Jehovah-Tsidkenu (The Lord our righteousness)
The name that Jacob refers to in Genesis is El-Shaddai which means "all-sufficient" One.
