Thankful for Jehovah Nissi

Jehovah Nissi: The Lord is my Banner

Banners Identify.
In movie war scenes you will see soldiers and the banner flying high. At the airport you may see a banner welcoming someone as they come off the plane. There are many kinds of banners – Celebration Banners, Notification Banners, Event Banners, etc. Even the sons of Israel had banners.

Thankful for Jehovah Tsuri

Jehovah Tsuri: the Lord my Rock

One of my most favorite passages of scripture is Exodus 33. It is there that Moses asks to see God’s glory. God agrees to let Moses see Him hindsight, for God’s glory is too immense for any mortal to see His full glory. Moses is placed in the cleft of the rock. As God passes by He places His hand over the opening until Moses is safe to look.

Then the Lord said, “Behold, there is a place by Me, and you shall stand there on the rock; and it will come about, while My glory is passing by, that I will put you in the cleft of the rock and cover you with My hand until I have passed by.
Exodus 33:21-22 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/exo.33.21-22.NASB1995

God protected Moses in the rock. If God can protect in the rock, He can certainly protect as the rock.
