Meditation

Hi there,

This is our final week exploring the compound names of God. Beginning today with Jehovah Goel, and finishing with Jehovah Chezeq and Jehovah Ori.​

Jehovah Goel translates as "The LORD my Redeemer" or "The LORD my Kinsman-Redeemer". It is a name of God representing Him as the one who buys back, rescues, and restores His people from bondage, debt, or death.

In ancient times, the Goel was always a close relative. Our God is not a distant Savior, but someone who is personally committed to rescuing his people.

God calls himself the goel of Israel, throughout Isaiah, to represent his power to buy back his people from their spiritual indebtedness and their slavery to sin.

Today's text is Isaiah 44:6-8

The Lord, Not Idols

⁶ “This is what the Lord says—
​ Israel’s King and Redeemer, the Lord Almighty:​
I am the first and I am the last;
apart from me there is no God.

⁷ Who then is like me? Let him proclaim it.
Let him declare and lay out before me
what has happened since I established my ancient people,
and what is yet to come—
yes, let them foretell what will come.

⁸ Do not tremble, do not be afraid.
Did I not proclaim this and foretell it long ago?
You are my witnesses. Is there any God besides me?
No, there is no other Rock; I know not one.”

Encouragement

I am the Lord your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel.

Isaiah 43: 14
