A daily devotional exploring the names of God in scripture. Our website http://alittlewalkwithgod.com.

  1. Thanks for joining me today for "A Little Walk with God." I'm your host Richard Agee.
  2. The name for today, El-Shaddai. It can mean God of the mountains or more commonly translated God Almighty.
  3. Scripture
    1. Genesis 17:1; Psalms 91:1
    2. When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the Lord appeared to him and said, “I am God Almighty; walk before me faithfully and be blameless.
    3. Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High

will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.

  1. Devotional
    1. El-Shaddai, God Almighty.
    2. We hear that term a lot.
      1. We hear the name so often we probably let it just slip off our tongue without really thinking much about it
      2. God Almighty; Almighty God; the all-sufficient one; the one mighty to nourish, satisfy, and supply;
      3. Maybe we should stop and consider just exactly what we’re saying when we characterize God with this title
    3. Definition: having complete, unlimited power; omnipotent
    4. Synonyms: all-powerful, omnipotent, supreme, preeminent
    5. So again, what does that mean to you
      1. He is able to supply your every need
      2. He is able to nourish and satisfy the deep longings of your soul
      3. He is able to defeat your enemies in impossible situations
      4. He is able to bring hope when things seem hopeless
      5. He is able to conquer your greatest fears
      6. He is almighty, all-powerful, omnipotent, nothing can overcome Him
    6. El-Shaddai spoke the worlds into place
      1. He holds the power of the stars in His hands
      2. He pushes back the oceans and releases the power of volcanoes
      3. He makes grass grow through rock and makes the soft down on a duck’s belly
      4. He is God Almighty, the all-sufficient one, the one mighty to nourish, satisfy, and supply your need
    7. El-Shaddai put the mountains in place and causes them to crumble in the rain
      1. He put the rivers in place and dries them up at his command
      2. He heals when there seems to be no cure
      3. He forgives and removes the burden of guilt from us
    8. If El-Shaddai can do all those things, what are you facing that He cannot help you get through? What problem do you struggle with that He cannot help you conquer? Who is attacking you that you cannot overcome? What temptation are you facing that He cannot provide an exit for you?
      1. The answer is simple. He is El-Shaddai, God Almighty. There is nothing beyond His capability because He is almighty, He has complete, unlimited power; omnipotent, supreme, preeminent.
      2. He is able
