Day 15 – Elohim

“In the beginning, God created the heaven and the earth” Genesis 1:1

Literally translating this verse would read: “In the beginning, Elohim created the heaven and the earth.” Elohim is derived from the Hebrew word taken from two root words: El, which means strength and unlimited power. And the last part is allah, which means to keep a promise. Elohim is also a plural noun. I believe that right here on the threshold of the Bible we see an indication of the nature of God, as shown in the Holy Trinity – God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.

Where Jehovah Bore means The Lord who creates, Elohim stands for The Creator. God Himself is Elohim, the Creator who is Jehovah Bore, the One who Creates.

Prayer: Father, I feel so small when I meditate on You as the Creator in whole as the Holy Trinity. Holy Spirit please guide my focus on Elohim instead of the daily, worldly tasks I face daily. For nothing is bigger than You. Amen.

PS… Though we are not the smallest of things God created, take time today to meditate on the vastness of the universe right down to the smallest molecule that you can think of. You are welcome to watch this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bhofN1xX6u0
