El Shaddai - The Almighty God

                               I am Almighty God; walk before Me and be blameless - Genesis 17:1.

                     God revealed Himself as El Shaddai, God Almighty to Abraham when he was ninety-nine years old to remind him that He will fulfill His promise to make him a father of many nations. And I will make My covenant between Me and you, and will multiply you exceedingly - Genesis 17:2. He who identified Himself as Abraham’s shield now identified Himself as Almighty God who is able to keep every promise.

                 El Shaddai reveals God’s nurturing care for His people. The word El comes from Elohim, the powerful Creator. The word Shaddai comes from the Hebrew word shad, which means breast. It refers to the nourishment only God can provide like a mother’s nourishment imparted to her child. Our Lord  is El Shaddai, the Almighty God who is sufficient to meet all of our needs. Like a mother who supplies the needs of child, God will nourish us and supply all our needs. And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus - Philippians 4:19.

                El Shaddai, the Almighty, all sufficient, life giving God blessed Abraham as the father of nations as He promised. Our Almighty God is able to keep all of His promises. Nothing is too difficult for Him. There is nothing too hard for You - Jeremiah 32:17. The things which are impossible with men are possible with God - Luke 18:27. El-Shaddai, the God Almighty will keep His promises to us and do mighty things in our life.                                                 

     

PRAYER: Dear Lord, You are El-Shaddai, the Almighty God. We believe that nothing is too hard for You. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
