Jehovah – The Self Existent One

The name Jehovah is used more frequently in Scripture than any other name of God. Jehovah is derived from the Hebrew word "havah" which means “to be, to become”.

• As we continue to glean insight of who God is by knowing His character revealed in His name, we are to take on those characteristic and we are to become more like Him.

God said to Moses, say to the sons of Israel “I AM” has sent me to you. I AM is God’s eternal name, a memorial-name to all generations. He is the eternal “I AM”, the Alpha and the Omega, the same yesterday, today and forever; it speaks to God’s essence, the Being who is absolutely self existent, the One who in Himself possesses life.

Jehovah is usually translated LORD - all caps, see Ex 6: 2-4.  NOTE this is specifically the Old Testament since it is written in Hebrew and Jehovah is Hebrew where as the New Testament is Greek.
~ LORD = Jehovah = "havah" = I AM; however, (not all caps) Lord = Adonai = Master ~

Jehovah is the God of covenant; He revealed Himself to His covenant people as the unchanging God who remains faithful to His word throughout generations. He is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in loving-kindness and truth; He forgives iniquity, transgression and sin, but will punish the guilty. He is everything and I am blessed to know Him as my everything. He is all I need and as Chris Tomlin describes in the song Enough, He IS more than enough for all of my needs… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EW-toYBiF8o  and I pray that he is enough for all of your needs as well.

In His Love,
