Jehovah Ori- The Lord is my LIGHT!

I had the opportunity last night to give a message at youth group while my hubby was away. :) This was my first time taking the lead and it went fantastic! :) Worship was great!! I did not tell the worship team what I would be sharing about but the songs they picked lined up with my message perfectly!!! :) Also during worship I had one boy come up for prayer and was shocked when everything he mentioned he needed for prayer was exactly what my message was going to cover! GOD YOU CONTINUALLY AMAZE ME!! I love how things like that happen. After the message we played a fun game and then we had some ICE CREAM! :) It was a fantastic night.

So what was my message about??? GOD OF COURSE! LOL Here are my notes! I think they are pretty clear notes! :) Wish I would have video taped it and then I could have just posted the video...that would have been fun. :) Oh well, next time I guess. :)

So my message tonight actually is coming from my personal devotional time.

Jehovah- We all know that means God or Lord, but many times we hear Jehovah ________.

Can anyone name a few of them?

Jehovah Jirah- God provider

Jehovah Rohi- God is my Shpherd

Jehovah Shalom- God of Peace

Jehovah Nissi- Lord is my Banner(My victory)

Jehovah Rapha- God Restores or makes better, or to repair.

I want to focus on one of these characteristics of God:

JEHOVAH ORI

Who knows what it means?

Psalm 27:1- The Lord is my Light and my salvation: whom shall I fear? The lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

Jehovah Ori- The Lord is my light

Before translation Light was Ori- Ori is Hebrew for Light.

So if God is my Lord of Light what does Light mean??

I want to look at 3 significances for LIGHT and shed a RAY of LIGHT on JEHOVAH -ORI…lol

1st light offers Protection!

-Story about Amy not turning her lights on.

-Notice the fear that is created when light is gone? Storm comes and the lights go out.

Light=Protection- GOD WILL Protect us=NO MORE FEAR

Psalm 41:2 The Lord will Protect him and preserve his life; he will bless him in the land and not surrender him to the desire of his foes.

Psalm 121:7 The Lord will protect you from all evil; He will keep your soul.

2nd light offers is Inspiration!

Light is associated with Inspiration…think about it. When someone has a really great idea u speak of the light bulb going on with that great idea. God gives us many ideas he presses desires in our heart. God gives us inspiration to make a difference. How many of you were obedient to the Holy spirits leading??

-story of inspiration…

3rd Light offers Direction!

(Blind fold someone)-mini exercise

Have you ever played a group game where one person is blind folded and another person is yelling out directions for you to go. With your eyes blindfolded you don’t see the light you are hearing everyones directions but your partners so imagine life without God’s direction you would be listening to what the world wants you to do. Go to college, go to work, don’t do this, do that, wear this, say this, have sex, drink this, get married, dont get married, etc etc… but when you take the blind fold off and see God’s light his direction is amazing.

Psalm 119: 105 Your WORD is a Lamp to guide my feet and a light for my path.

SO ARE YOU IN GOD’S WORD-GETTING DIRECTION FOR YOUR LIFE?? Are you letting the world tell you??

WILL you allow God to be your LIGHT- your protector, inspiration and follow his directions?

If you feel like you have not allowed God to be your LIGHT to be your protector, inspiration, or give you direction I want you to find a spot in the room and pray. Talk to him open up and be real but don't do all the talking... LISTEN TO HIM! Learn his voice!

I know it is hard to just read through someone else's notes but I think many of you can get some stuff out of that nugget. :)

Praise GOD for being my LIGHT! I know I need his direction, protection, and inspiration! :)

"The Reading Game" Review and Giveaway

Description: The first book in The Reading Game learn-to-read series tells the story of a skunk without a stripe who is rejected by the other skunks but finds acceptance among some cats and becomes their defender. It’s told in rhyme, is beautifully illustrated, and is 32 pages long. It will be the first book the student reads, and there are five more to follow in this groundbreaking learn to read program. Each of The Reading Game's six stories is told using just thirty new words. These are broken down into six sets of five words. The student learns to read each set of five words by playing a simple word matching game. Frequent exposure through play hard wires these words into long-term memory. Rote learning is transformed into a fast-paced game with a winner every few seconds. After completing Skunk, Game 1, the student has learned five words (can, cat, is, me, not). Playing Game 2 adds an additional five w...

Packing for your first ski trip

Pexels - CCO Licence So, you're gearing up for your first ski trip and the excitement is as thick as the snow you're about to conquer. But before you can show off those freshly learned pizza and French fry stops, you’ve got to pack. Packing for a ski trip can feel like preparing for a chilly expedition to the North Pole, but fear not! With these nifty tips, you'll be ready to hit the slopes in style and comfort. 1. Layer Like a Lasagna Think of your ski outfit as a gourmet lasagna: each layer is crucial. Start with a moisture-wicking base layer (yes, that includes thermal underwear) to keep you dry and snug. Over that, layer a warm and breathable mid-layer—think fleece or a wool sweater that can handle the chill. Top it all off with a waterproof and windproof jacket and pants. Remember, it's all about layers that you can add or peel off because sweating while you ski is less fun than a snowball in the face. 2. Keep Those Fingers Cosy Cold hands can ruin a...
