JEHOVAH SHAMMAH means "The LORD is There," signifying God's constant, intimate presence with His people in every circumstance, offering comfort, strength, and hope, a truth echoed in JESUS’ promise to be with us always (Matthew 28:20) and fulfilled through the HOLY SPIRIT, making Him our ever-present guide and dwelling place.
In the last chapter of Ezekiel, GOD declares the name of the New Jerusalem to be "The LORD is There" (Ezekiel 48:35). This isn't just a future promise; it's a present reality. JEHOVAH SHAMMAH means GOD is not distant but intimately involved, dwelling with us, guiding us, and empowering us. When you feel lonely, overwhelmed, or uncertain, remember this name—He is there. He is in your joy, your struggles, your fears, and your future. His presence is the ultimate comfort and strength, a personal promise that we are never truly alone.
Prayer:
Dear Heavenly FATHER, I praise You as JEHOVAH SHAMMAH, the LOiRD who is always here. Thank You for Your constant, unwavering presence in my life, even when I don't feel it. Help me to be more aware of Your nearness today, to see Your hand in the small moments, and to lean on Your strength when I am weak. When challenges arise, remind me that You are with me, never leaving or forsaking me. Fill me with Your peace and courage, that I might walk confidently in Your presence and reflect Your light to others. Thank You for the incredible gift of Your abiding presence. In JESUS’ Name,
