Elhohim: Powerful God

The Beginning

In the very beginning of creation, there was God.

In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. Light And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness. And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.
Genesis 1:1-3

Elohim (ee-lo-heem’)

There in the beginning was God, and even before was God-from everlasting:

Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever Thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, Thou art God.
Psalm 90:2

As God begins creation, He shows up as Elohim, the all powerful God, “He is The Power over Powers.”

The word is used for: the true God, false gods, supernatural spirits (angels), and human leaders (kings, judges, the messiah).
When used of the true God, “Elohim” denotes what is called by linguists a plural of majesty, honor, or fullness. That is, he is GOD in the fullest sense of the word. He is “GOD of gods” or literally, “ELOHIM of elohim” (Deut 10:17; Ps 136:2).
Hebrew Streams

Power denotes strength. No surprise when we think about Elohim at the creation of the world. Who but God could speak in to existence all that is and ever has been known to us on and from this earth? Power of all Powers, GOD of gods, ELOHIM of Elohim.

We are inundated from every side with the world’s feminists mantra: women are strong! Of course we are; God made us in His image! But, Friends, if life hasn’t yet shown you, let me help you here. No matter what the world screams, the truth is, we are not strong enough.

Suddenly her husband is forgetting things more & more: she’s not strong enough.
The fear of what if’s are haunting her day and night putting her anxiety in over-drive: she’s not strong enough.
Wandering away from who she believes God is and trying to find her way back: she’s not strong enough.
Begging God to answer her prayers and losing hope waiting: she’s not strong enough.

God’s Grace is Sufficient

And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
2 Corinthians 12:9
