Jacob, by the name of God Almighty, but by my name

Isaac, and Jacob had.
In five verses God shows his blueprint of victory.

Israel under the haze of Stockholm syndrome, becomes
immune to the revelation of a Supernatural
deliverance;
like Pharaoh they resist God Almighty.

not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your
heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
Exod 6
10) And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
11) Go in, speak unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, that he let
the children of Israel go out of his land.
Ps 78
38) But he, being full of compassion, forgave their
iniquity, and destroyed them not: yea, many a time turned
he his anger away, and did not stir up all his wrath.
39) For he remembered that they were but flesh; a wind
that passeth away, and cometh not again.
40) How oft did they provoke him in the wilderness, and
grieve him in the desert!
41) Yea, they turned back and tempted God, and limited
the Holy One of Israel.
Isa 5
18) Woe unto them that draw iniquity with cords of
vanity, and sin as it were with a cart rope:
19) That say, Let him make speed, and hasten his
work, that we may see it: and let the counsel of the
Holy One of Israel draw nigh and come, that we may
know it!
42) They remembered not his hand, nor the day when
he delivered them from the enemy.

51) And he went up unto them into the ship; and the
wind ceased: and they were sore amazed in
themselves beyond measure, and wondered.
52) For they considered not the miracle of the
loaves: for their heart was hardened.
Jesus expected in a time of trouble they would
remember the one who works miracles could handle
any problem.
Nothing about the loaves and fishes, is the same as
drowning in a storm on the sea; except for Jesus who
can do what no man can.
Israel did not appreciate how great their God was, or how
much he wanted to do with, and for them; let’s not be so
apathic to who we serve.
