Perseverance: Calling on “Elohim”- the Creator and Finisher of all things!
When Jesus was suffering upon the cross, feeling betrayed and abandoned by the Father, he chose to cry out to the Father in the form of “Elohim- the Creator and Finisher of all things.”
“Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani: My God, my God [Who started all this: the Creator and Finisher of all things] why have you forsaken me?” Matthew 27:46
Out of all the names of the Father representing his vast character, Jesus chose to cry out to the One who started it all. Jesus cried out in his anguish to the Father --the creator and finisher of all things, the One who will now finish what he had started.
Perseverance requires we continue to have faith in the One who has begun a good work in our lives will complete it. We must hold onto the truth of God’s character displayed in His name Elohim (e-lo-HEEM): the mighty creator--the one who began everything and the one who will finish it as well. Jesus placed his confidence in knowing his Father Elohim would finish what he had started. In these uncertain and challenging times, we must faithfully cry out to our Heavenly Father, the author and perfector of our faith (Hebrews 12:2). God will not be overcome by today’s economy. God’s plans for our lives will not be thwarted by the stock market crash. Let us cry out to the one who has begun his good work; he is the one who will complete it.
Let us know how you stay encouraged in the author and finisher of your faith!
