YHWH
Heard this for the first time today and I find it so thought provoking that - well - I can't stop thinking about it. Listen - and see if it has the same affect on you.
Wow....I dont even know what to say to respond to that. It made me melt inside. for a whole bunch of reasons! Breath...is such a significant thing to me. What others take so easily for granted, our family values like words can not even express. Every single day of life and breath is from God..every moment a precious gift. And to relate that to the very name of God...His name, His breath....is the most beautiful thing to me ever. I came across the name YHWH in my Bible a year or so ago...it made me melt inside then too and I just sort of parked myself on those verses for a very long time. I had to leaf thru my Bible today to find them..I could picture the markings in my bible in Isaiah because I had contemplated them for so long...
Isaiah 26:3-4...You will keep Him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You. For in YAH, the Lord, is everlasting strength.
Isaiah 12:2...Behold, God is my salvation, I will trust and not be afraid; For YAH, the Lord, is my strength and song.
Thank you Joyce..I read Ann V's blog often, but had not read it today..what a treasure you have shared!!
The other thot that keeps coming to mind about this is...I often refer to talking with God as "breathing prayer". when something is sooo close to my heart and mind, and I am constantly talking with God about it, it is like breathing to me. Breathe out my cares and concerns to Him, breathe in...God...His peace and His presence. How very precious to mesh this all together...breathing, prayer, Gods very name....I cant even quite express it..it is so very sweet!
Yep - see - it IS tho't provoking isn't it :) I must confess that I have never heard this taught/explained/preached before so there is a part of me that wonders if it is all "sound". I want our Pastor to listen to it to get his take on it. If indeed it is true - well it's just SO - as I said before .... thought provoking - and in that case perhaps I'll try to wrap words around my thoughts along that line. If not - then I'll go from there and should edit this to share whatever I learned in that regard.
P.S. thank you for sharing your thoughts. Breathing Prayer ... yep - I think I know what you are talking about ... I think I may actually do it myself at times ... esp. at times when something so suddenly presents itself and all I know is that I need Him to help me deal with it - but don't really even have time to pray it all out in words... or can't even find words - it's kinda like a deep breath that says please just hear "the cry of my heart" :)

WOW! That will give me something to ponder for awhile. Loved that song too.
