I realized an amazing thing recently:
God's Name is of course used all through Genesis 1 as He creates.
But it is not until Genesis 2:4 that God's Name is
YHWH, which we Anglicize into "Jehovah" so we can pronounce it.
EVEN ROCKS know that God is LORD.
Why do I try to live my life my own way, when He knows best?
The word YHWH -- LORD --
was not needed for the rocks and plants and animals,
for they already knew that God is indeed Jehovah LORD.

Jehovah LORD above all...
Animals already knew this. Even the moon and stars worshiped God as LORD of all.
Psalm 148:3-- "Praise Him, sun and moon; Praise Him, all you stars of light!" God would not have let the Psalmist put a wrong thing in God's Word.
Even ROCKS and GRAVEL under your feet on the road know that God is Almighty and LORD of all.
Jesus said so -- Luke 19:37 to 40.
Then, as He was now drawing near the descent of the Mount of Olives,
the
whole multitude of the disciples began to
rejoice and praise God with a
loud voice
for all the mighty works they had seen,
saying: " 'Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the LORD!'
Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!" And some of the Pharisees called to Him from the crowd, "Teacher, rebuke Your disciples."
But He answered and said to them, "I tell you that if these should keep silent, the stones would immediately cry out." LUKE 19: 40
EVEN ROCKS know that God is LORD.

God first used His Name YHWH LORD
AFTER He created us. So we'd remember...
and LET Him be LORD of
EVERY part of our lives. Even in food choices.
GOD'S ENCOURAGEMENT
For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for
the same LORD over all is rich to all who call upon Him.
For 'whoever calls on the name of the LORD shall be saved.' " (quoting Psalm 145:18 etc.)-- Romans 10: 11 and 12
PRAYER
GOD Jehovah, LORD of my Life: I CHOOSE You as MY LORD. For You already are THE Lord, whether or not I or anyone else accepts that Truth. Help me to TRULY follow You, I pray. In everyday choices as well as the "big" things of life. I ask in LORD Jesus's Holy Name.
