Well, most of the time, with exceptions, I will be posting about things I'm thankful for and why. There will be deviations of course. Aren't there exceptions to every rule? Of course! So, I'll have deviations to do a particular theme or I will be thankful for something and it will carry over into more than one post, or I'll just post something random because I'm excited about it. Blogs are for fun right? Right. So, since blogs are supposed to be fun, I'll write on other things other than thankfulness sometimes. All posts will end with a Bible verse in the NKJV.

Jehovah

Jehovah literally means to be, or to become known. We use it as "The Lord." Jehovah doesn't usually stand on its own, it often has another name after it. It is also sometimes used interchangeably with Yahweh.
Here are some of the Jehovah names:
Jehovah Nissi - The Lord My Banner
Jehovah-Raah - The Lord My Shepherd
Jehovah Rapha - The Lord That Heals
Jehovah Shammah - The Lord Is There
Jehovah Tsidkenu - The Lord Our Righteousness
Jehovah Mekoddishkem - The Lord Who Sanctifies You
Jehovah Jireh - The Lord Will Provide
Jehovah Shalom - The Lord Is Peace
Jehovah Sabaoth - The Lord of Hosts
So, there's not really too much information that I could find on Jehovah by itself. But, as you can see from the names above, it is obviously being used as The Lord and then the words after it are descriptive words to more declare His attributes and what He does and who He is.
Also, when you see LORD in all caps in your Bible, it stands for Jehovah/Yahweh.
Isaiah 40:3 “Prepare the way of the LORD; make straight in the desert a highway for our God."
