In this reading plan, we are learning more about God by studying the names given to Him in Scripture. Each day, you\u2019ll come here to read the description of the name we\u2019re studying today and a brief explanation of how God\u2019s character is seen through His name. (Remember that because the Bible was originally written in Hebrew and Greek, some of God\u2019s names are written in the English form of His name from their original language.) You can then head to today\u2019s passages to see how this name functions in Scripture. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
GOD ALMIGHTY<\/strong>: God\u2019s power over all things<\/p>\n\n\n\n El Shadday<\/em>, or \u201cGod Almighty,\u201d is a name God used to describe Himself throughout the Old Testament. He appeared to Abraham in Genesis 17 with the greeting, \u201cI am God Almighty.\u201d Then God made a covenant with Abraham, promising to make him the father of a great nation, even though Abraham was old and his wife was unable to have children. God offered His name, God Almighty, as the guarantee of this improbable promise. Bound up in God\u2019s covenant promise to Abraham is the Lord\u2019s proclamation of His power. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The name God Almighty also appears frequently in the book of Job to emphasize God\u2019s power over all things. El Shadday is a powerful, awe-inspiring name for our God. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In this reading plan, we are learning more about God by studying the names given to Him in Scripture.
