El Shaddai: The Almighty God

Gen 17:1,2 “I am Almighty God [El Shaddai]...I will make My covenant between 

Me and you”

El Shaddai means all-powerful and all-sufficient. He sustains His creation. He sustains, nourishes and keeps us.

El Shaddai is the name God uses for Himself when He enters into a covenant relationship with Abraham and begins to work through him and his descendants as a special people. Abraham and Sarah were past the age for childbearing, but El Shaddai promised them a son. And He fulfilled that promise. He is God Almighty!

Nothing is impossible for Him. He not only overcomes the laws of nature, but He compels nature to act contrary in order to carry out His plans to the fullest!

He stopped the sun from setting for a whole day for Joshua!

He made time go backwards for King Hezekiah!

He planned that a virgin girl called Mary, should bring forth the Savior of the world!

Gen 18:14 Is anything too hard for the Lord?

There are thousands of promises in the Bible and our Almighty God, El Shaddai, is able to keep every one of them. He is all we really need! What is standing in front of you that is too hard for you? It’s not too hard for El Shaddai.

2 Cor 1:20 For all the promises of God in Him are yes, and in Him, Amen, to the glory of God through us.

♥Response: Lord, You are the One who nourishes me and sustains me. There is nothing too hard for You. Nothing can stop You or stand in Your way! You are more than enough for me. I bow before You, El Shaddai! In Jesus’ name.
