YHWH is the personal name God revealed to Moses and appears nearly 7,000 times in the Hebrew Bible, usually translated as LORD. His name reminds us that He is eternal, self-existent, unchanging, and faithful. While YHWH is not literally proven to be the sound of breathing, every breath can remind us that life comes from God. Learning His name invites us not only to know more about Him, but to seek a deeper relationship with Him.

Joshua 1:9 reminds us that true courage does not come from confidence in ourselves, but from trusting God’s presence and faithfulness. As Joshua prepared to lead Israel into the Promised Land, God called him to move forward in obedience despite fear and uncertainty.

In this first Treasures in the Text post, we look at Colossians 1:16 and the powerful truth that all things were created through Christ and for Him. This verse reminds us that Jesus is eternal, supreme over all creation, and worthy of our trust, worship, and attention.
