"Did You Know..?"

"Did You Know..?"

.… The Israelites only knew God as the God of their fathers Abraham, Isaac  and Jacob because they lived 400(+) years in the land of Egypt? Moses introduced God to them as “I am” but as time went on they came to know Him by other names, based on their experiences with Him. But of all the names told from generation to generation I believe “Jehova-Rohi” (which means The Lord is my Shepherd) was the most popular. It illustrates best how the Lord “Protected” them (while in Egypt and in the wilderness), “Provided” for them (both food or “mana from heaven” and water “which at times poured out of solid rock”). It shows how He (the Shepherd) also "Directed/Lead" his people ( the sheep) through the wilderness (as a pillar of cloud by day and as a pillar of fire by night). Most importantly it shows how he takes care for his people just as a shepherd takes care of his flock. These stories can be found beginning at Exodus 3 thru the book of Deuteronomy. Be blessed, and keep reading.
