Have you ever had one of those moments at church, or wherever it might be, when you things just click and for a split second things seem so clear and you feel like God just to you right then and there? Well, I had one of those moments during our church. The sermon was one like had never heard before and I've told several people today at work to watch the podcast! Our preacher was showing us the Hebrew pictographs that make up the words: mother, father, wife and husband. Spearing you much of the details (though the details are awesome too!), the Hebrews use the pictographs for the words wife and husband to make the word "Yahweh". I didn't realize until yesturday that the actual pronounciation of name of the Lord was lost in the destruction of the temple but when you put the Hebrew letters together to pronounce Yahweh, the sound comes out as a sigh. So, when we are at the point in our lives, (whether its with our marriage, our health, our job or children) when we are about to just breakdown, we sigh. We are calling on the name of the Lord in our darkest times even when we dont realize it!
Seriously, I was goose bumped to the core. The most amazing part about this revalation for me was that one day last week I mentally took note of how much I had been sighing. I was mentally and physically drained and sighs were just coming out one right after another. I could.not.stop.
My Father made me to need Him, to call out HIS name through my sighs in my times of exhaustion.
