2   Your First Impression of God...Elohim

                              Could it be that one of the reasons  why so many

                          people have trouble trusting God is because they really
                          just don’t know in Whom they trust?
                              When facing situations in life...many of which greatly
                          shake us to the core...how do we respond as it relates
                          to believing that God really is in control of our lives? We

                          hear someone say, “Well, just  trust  in the Lord!” Of
                          course, that is easy for them to say, right? It is a whole
                          new ballgame when we are the one  having to do the

                          trusting!
                              As I have traveled throughout  the nation, meeting
                          literally thousands of people, I have found that people
                          will approach me and share various needs with me. One
                          may come and share a financial need...another a family

                          need...and still another a physical need. I find myself
                          saying to the one with the financial need, “No problem!
                          God  owns it all. He can  meet your financial need!” Or

                          one may have a physical need and I reply, “No sweat!
                          God is the Great  Physician. He is still  in  the healing
                          business!”
                              The truth is  -  I find it real easy to trust God  -  in
                          someone else’s life! My problem is when I have to trust

                          God for needs in my own life. My dilemma begins when
                          I have to  -  if you please  -  “practice what I preach!”
                          Then it is a completely different issue or so it seems.

                              However, we all must get a grip on what it really
                          means to trust God for every situation and circumstance
                          in life. So go back to the first question - Why study the
                          names of God?
                              Well, here are three tremendous facts that you will
