Jehovah God
(By John McCarty)

Jehovah God is a strong and mighty fortress.  A warrior that cannot be defeated.  All of the hordes of hell and the host of heaven combined cannot stand in his presence except at His permission.  He created and sustains all of whatever exists and nothing is too hard for Him. He can be trusted to finish all He begins and He has begun a good work in you.   He is an all-consuming fire and His ways are past finding out.  In His providence He has put a hedge and umbrella of protection around and over His own and branded and sealed them with His Spirit.  His ever present, all-knowing eye never leaves those that belong to Him and none of His own will ever be lost.  The Psalmist exclaims that He is the good Shepard, the great Shepard and the chief Shepard, but more importantly He is my Shepard.  Should one of His sheep wander from the fold, He leaves the ninety and nine and rescues him.  He has had a plan and purpose for the earth since before He lay out it’s boundaries and established its foundations. There is not a molecule floating around in His universe that He is not in control of and He is constantly at work accomplishing His plans.    He controls and uses all things, including the devil to accomplish His desired ends and nothing above or under the earth can put a stop to His decrees.  He holds in His hand life and death and we are here for the purpose of bringing glory to His name.
