I love Ellie’s post and how she chose to connect knowing the
name of Yahweh to knowing that He is more than the role of “god”. I mean, OF
COURSE! If Yahweh were just “god”, a mere role, he would be interchangeable,
measurable, quantifiable…but instead He is relational.
He is uniquely Yahweh and gives us His name as a sign and symbol of His heart to
be discovered by us!
That means that in every moment of our lives, there is
something to be discovered about Yahweh, and it is never the exact same
discovery. Always, He is speaking.
There is a certain self- forgetfulness that I find liberating
when I am drawn to listening to who this Yahweh is above and beyond what He (as
the role “god”) can do for me.
And yet, what He does also proclaims to glory and wonder of
who He is!
Wowzers, to love Yahweh and not just to love “god” (the one
who gets stuff done in my life) is a call into a deeper love of God. Hallelujah!
Mirm, I love the reminder that there's always something to be discovered about Yahweh. A "god" that we could figure out would be far too limited. We could learn something new about Yahweh every day for the rest of our lives and still there would be so much more to be revealed!
