YHWH is Greater than the Giants We Face

YHWH is Greater than the Giants we Face

Yoḥanan Aleph (1 John) 4:4 TS2009

You are of Elohim, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.

Rest in the truth that our loving heavenly Father is with us and His love, undeserved favour, and goodness are always toward His people. Even though we may be facing a difficult situation and discouragement, remember that we are not without hope because we are not without Messiah Yahshua.

Mattithyahu (Matthew) 19:26 TS2009

And looking intently, [Yahshua] יהושע said to them, “With men this is impossible, but with Elohim all is possible.”

 [See also Mark 10:27]

YHWH is with us. He is for us and with Him all things are possible. No situation that we could ever face is beyond His ability to turn it around and transform it. Whatever the outcome, we have nothing to fear or worry about. Keep looking to YHWH and continue to trust and rely on His promises. HalleluYAH!

Watchful Care

Before heading out for school in the morning, a mother asks her child, “Did you brush your teeth?” The child then gives her that “look” of guilt. She asks the child again, kindly reminding him of the importance of telling the truth.

Unmoved by his mother's gentle admonishment, he half-jokingly tells her 

that what she really needs is a security camera in the bathroom. Then she could check for herself if he had brushed his teeth and he wouldn't be tempted to lie.

While the presence of a security 

camera may help remind us to follow the

rules, there are still places we can go unnoticed or ways we can avoid being seen. Although we may evade or trick a security camera, we fool ourselves if we think we are ever outside the gaze of YHWH.

YHWH asks:

“Am I an Elohim close by,” declares יהוה, “and not an Elohim afar off? 

“If anyone is hidden in secret places, would I not see him?” declares יהוה. “Do I not fill the heavens and earth?” declares יהוה.

Yirmeyahu (Jeremiah) 23:23-24 TS2009

There is both an encouragement and

a warning in His question.

The warning is that we cannot hide from YHWH. We can't outrun or fool Him. Everything we do is visible to Him.

The encouragement is that there is no place on earth or in the heavens where we are outside the watchful care of our

Heavenly Father. Even when we feel alone, YHWH is with us. 

No matter where we go today, may the awareness of the truth encourage us to choose obedience to His Word and receive comfort because He watches over us.

📜 Yoḥanan (John) 17:17 TS2009

Set them apart in Your truth – Your Word is truth. [See also Psa. 151; 160]

What is Truth?

📜 Tehillim (Psalms) 119:142 TS2009

Your righteousness is righteousness forever, And Your Torah is truth.

There is nowhere we can go that is outside of YHWH's loving gaze. Knowing that He sees us, it helps us to trust Him and honor Him with our words and actions.

Remember that we are never outside the watchful care of our Heavenly Father. HalleluYAH!
