Elohim, Mighty Creator

Christopher D. Hudson

Sometimes we face obstacles that seem huge. Sometimes we find ourselves staring at a wall too tall to see over, too thick to knock down. It is then we must remember to call out to Elohim.

We are not designed to live this life using our own strength; we are designed to need His.

We are not designed to live this life using our own strength; we are designed to need His.




Elohim, Mighty Creator, a Daily devotional by Christopher D. Hudson
“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” Genesis 1:1

When you introduce yourself to someone, what name do you use? Does it depend on your audience? If you want to impress someone, do you throw a title before (or after) your name? If you’re introducing yourself to a child, you might use a “Mr.” or “Ms.” Or if you want to put someone at ease, you might introduce yourself with a nickname—“My friends call me Chipper.”

We often use introductions as opportunities to tell people about ourselves. Within a fraction of a second, we decide what we want a person to know about us, and we convey some of that information through our introduction.

Imagine God extending His hand to you in introduction. “Hello,” He says, “My name is Elohim.” Essentially, that’s what He does in the Bible: “In the beginning, Elohim created the heavens and the earth.”

The Bible includes more than one hundred names for God, yet this is the one He starts with: Elohim—supreme God, strong One. Say it aloud; the name even sounds mighty.


Elohim is used 2,570 times in Scripture. Over and over, God’s Word reminds us of God’s strength, His might. And the more we seek God, the more we come to personally know and experience His power.

Sometimes we face obstacles that seem huge. Sometimes we find ourselves staring at a wall too tall to see over, too thick to knock down. It is then we must remember to call out to Elohim.

We are not designed to live this life using our own strength; we are designed to need His. When we are scared, we have Elohim.

When we are suffering, we have Elohim. When we are overwhelmed, anxious, or exhausted, we have Elohim. God has made Himself and His supernatural power available to us. All we have to do is take His hand.

What struggles in your life reveal your inadequate strength? In what areas do you need the life-sustaining power that can only come from Elohim?

Prayer
Elohim, thank You for making Yourself known to me. Thank You for Your power, Your might, Your strength. Help me to never doubt Your strength but to rely on it every minute of every day. Please continue to reveal Yourself to me. I want to know more of You. Amen.

Your Refuge From The Avenger of Blood

Charles Spurgeon
It is said that in the land of Canaan the cities of refuge were so arranged that anyone could reach one of them within half a day at the most. In the same way, the Word of our salvation is near to us.
If you are a true Christian, the proof will be in your love

Love as a Mark of a True Believer

John MacArthur
If you don’t have a love for God’s people, for the members of your new family in Christ, that’s clear evidence you’re still a product of your sinful self, separated from the life and love of God.
The answer is that God is merciful even to those who are not His own.

God’s Love for the Unbelieving World

John MacArthur
We know from human experience that love and hate are not mutually exclusive. It is not the least bit unusual to have concurrent feelings of love and hatred directed at the same person.
All true believers have this love; and all who have it are true believers.

The Source of True Love

John MacArthur
From the truth that God is love, the apostle John draws this corollary: “Love is of God” (1 John 4:7). God is the source of all true love. Love is therefore the best evidence that a person truly knows God: “Everyone who loves is born of God and knows God.
Lord Almighty, help me to be loyal in serving and trusting You at all times.

Decision of Loyalty

Augustine Ampratwum-Duah
The above words of Ruth to her mother-in-law [Naomi] constitute a decision of loyalty. She made a resolution not to forsake Naomi, which was a solemn declaration made by Ruth. Power of resolution silences temptation and resists the Devil, forcing him to flee.
