365 Devotions on the Power of Prayer:
ISAIAH 66:12–14 NKJV
12)For thus says the LORD: “Behold, I will extend peace to her like a river, And the glory of the Gentiles like a flowing stream. Then you shall feed; On her sides shall you be carried, And be dandled on her knees.
13) As one whom his mother comforts, So I will comfort you;and you shall be comforted in Jerusalem.
14) When you see this, your heart shall rejoice, And your bones shall flourish like grass; The hand of the LORD shall be known to His servants, And His indignation to His enemies.

ISAIAH 66:12–14 NIV
12) For this is what the LORD says: “I will extend peace to her like a river, and the wealth of nations like a flooding stream; you will nurse and be carried on her arm and dandled on her knees.
13) As a mother comforts her child, so will I comfort you; and you will be comforted over Jerusalem.”
14) When you see this, your heart will rejoice and you will flourish like grass; the hand of the LORD will be made known to his servants, but his fury will be shown to his foes.

PRAYING THE NAMES OF GOD:
Week #6: YAHWEH : LORD
Key Scripture: Exodus 3:14-15
Understanding the Name:
Afraid of profaning this covenant name of God, various rabbinical writers spoke of it as "The Name," "The Great and Terrible Name," "The Unutterable Name," "The Ineffable Name," "The Holy Name," and "The Distinguished Name." Also known as the Tetragrammaton, because it is formed by the four Hebrew consonants YHWH (JHVH in German), it was first rendered Jehovah in the Middle Ages and enshrined as such in the King James Verision of the Bible (Exodus 6:3; Psalm 83:18; Isaiah 12:2; 26:4). This mispronunciation arose when in the tenth century Jewish sscholars began supplying vowels to Hebrew words, which had formaly been written without them. Since ADONAY was always substituted for YAHWEH in biblical text, the Hebrew vowels for Adonay were inserted into the four letters of the Tetragrammaton: YaHoWaH.
Unfortunately, the translation "LORD," which is a title rather than a name, obscures the personal nature of this mane for God. Though the meaning of Yahweh is disputed, the mysterious self-description in Exodus 3:14, "I AM WHO I AM," may convey the sense not only that God is self-existent but that he is always present with his people. Yahweh is not a God who is remote or aloof but one who is always near, intervening in history on behalf of his people. The knowledge of God's proper name implies a covenant relationship. God's covenant name is closely associated with his saving acts in Exodus. The name Yahweh evokes images of God's saving power in the lives of his people.
