I Worship You for Who You Are

Inspired by:
“Because of Who You Are”
Vicki Yohe
Focus:
Honoring God not just for what He does, but for who He is—Jehovah Jireh, Nissi, Shalom
Scripture References (NIV):
• Exodus 15:2 — “The Lord is my strength and my defense; he has become my salvation. He is my God, and I will praise him, my father’s God, and I will exalt him.”
• Psalm 100:3 — “Know that the Lord is God. It is he who made us, and we are his; we are his people, the sheep of his pasture.”
Devotion:
True worship begins with recognition. Vicki Yohe’s Because of Who You Are invites us to shift our focus from what God gives to who He is. He is Jehovah Jireh—our provider. Jehovah Nissi—our banner of victory. Jehovah Shalom—our peace. These aren’t just names—they’re nature.
When you worship God for who He is, your praise becomes deeper, stronger, and more personal. You’re not just thanking Him for blessings—you’re exalting Him for being holy, faithful, and sovereign. Today, let your worship rise from a place of reverence. Declare His names. Honor His character. And say with your whole heart: I worship You because of who You are.

Action steps:
