Coffee Time with Jesus

  • Jesus: The Almighty
    “I am the Alpha and the Omega,
    the Beginning and the End,” says the Lord,
    “Who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.”
    Revelation 1:8
     
    Jesus’ name “Almighty” comes from El Shaddai, which means “the One who satisfies all the yearnings of the heart.” This name comes from shad, or “breast,” the place where a crying baby goes for comfort. If you are hurting or your spirit is crushed, the Almighty will comfort you. Come honestly to Him and let His sufficiency become your satisfaction. The name “Almighty” also stands for the chest, the symbol of strength. Jesus is the Almighty, the One who has power to look after Your needs and give You protection. Do you need His power today?
     
    Jesus, I rest securely on Your strong chest, the place of comfort, protection and strength. It’s good to know that You care for me, and it’s good to know that You can protect me. It’s good to be in Your presence; I don’t want to leave.
     
    Jesus is the Almighty, which means that He is the Strength-Giver, the One who knows your weaknesses. Look away from your weaknesses to Jesus; for when you want to give up, He can give you strength to keep on living and working. What do you need from the Almighty today?
     
    Jesus, You are the Almighty One; take control of my fitful heart and give it peace. Lord Jesus, sit upon the throne of my heart to give it direction this day. I completely yield my will to Your almighty sufficiency. Amen.

    Jesus has strength to comfort and protect you.
