The God Who Is Alone. What is this phrase in Hebrew? We have, the "God-Who-Is" = Yahweh, the God-Who-Is-Eternal= Jehovah Ha Olam; the God-Who-Is-My-Victory-In-Battle = Jehovah Nissi; we have the God-Who-Is-My-Healer = Jehovah Rapha; we have the God-Almighty = El Shaddai; we have the "gods" = Elohim (God is the 'gods'); we have God-The-Mighty-God-Of-Israel = El Elohe Yisrael...and on and on and on... Pondering on this, it is now not so unusual why God would just say to Moses, "...Just tell them Moses, "I AM"..." How perfect is that? Of course. Just fill in the blank. He is that/this. Why would we be surprised - or expect anything less? Why would I expect anything less than this. I don't know - sometimes I think I slip into thinking that God is so utterly above and beyond everything that I lose sight of how connected He is to things "down here".
But, I do not think I have ever come across this name: the God-Who-Is-Alone... but if you think about it - He is. Who can He be compared with? No one. No one is on His level. Wait - now I am thinking about the Trinity.
The Trinity.
Father - Son - Holy Spirit.
But even Jesus said, "the Father is greater than I".
What a God - ALL POWERFUL - !!!
Nothing - ABSOLUTEY NOTHING - is without His aid and providence. Oh My.
What a God is this!
What I do know about Him is this - He has given me grace to live for ever.
ALL PRAISE AND GLORY BELONGS TO HIM - AMEN.

God is connected to all things it is us who try to block Gods connection - we allow our fears doubts and emotions to sometimes do the opposite of Gods will, Gods will if we could give up all our fears and follow and accept the lives he has chosen for us I believe we (humans) sometimes panic and change things in our lives instead of trusting God who is there for us all the time.
We do not have to live without faith joy or happiness.
We can overcome all things as long as we keep our hearts open and allow the Lord inside.
