“It was round about eighteen thousand measures: and the name of the city from that day shall be, The Lord is there” Ezekiel 48:35, KJV.
“God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble” Psalm 46:1, KJV.
Jehovah Shammah means “The Lord Who is There”. It is one of God’s names to specifically reveal all that He is. He provides the knowledge of this name for a reason. His name is such because He wants us, above all, to always be aware that He is with us.
Have no fear. He is with you. He has called you by name. He has redeemed you and will uphold you with His righteous hand. He isn’t present just to stand by and watch. He is present to help you when you call. Right now, right where you are, whatever you are going through, even when the tears flow, He’s there. If you’re going through some rough times, He is there. If your marriage is rocky and you just don’t see any light, the Lord is there. If you are jobless or without a home, He’s there. If you are in prison, He’s mightily there. Just this truth alone brings us real joy and a real hope.
Prayer: Father, thank You that You are my Jehovah Shammah. You are there. Even when the tears flow, You are here right now with me. Jesus, You live in me. Use what I’m going through to work for me. You will help me, and You will provide. I will yet praise You! I keep moving ahead. I have the victory. I put my trust in Jehovah Shammah. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen!
