Jehovah-Shammah

Jehovah-Shammah, meaning "The Lord is there," is a mighty name of God found in Ezekiel 48:35. It speaks of God's presence with His people, a promise that no matter where we are or what we face, God is always near. For Christians, this is a profoundly comforting truth—God is not distant or far off but intimately involved in our lives, guiding, protecting, and loving us.

In our daily walk, the knowledge that Jehovah-Shammah is with us gives us courage and peace. We can face uncertainties, challenges, and even suffering, knowing we are never alone. As Psalm 46:1 reminds us, "God is our refuge and strength, a helper who is always found in times of trouble" (CSB). His presence always sustains us.

Living with the awareness of Jehovah-Shammah calls us to trust Him more fully. In every situation, we can rest assured that the Lord is already there.
