YAHWEH — God of "his people"

I will show my greatness and my holiness, and I will make myself known in the sight of many nations. Then they will know that I am the LORD. — Ezekiel 38:23

In a time when God's people were in shambles physically and spiritually, he promises judgment — judgment on them and their oppressors. But he also reveals why. He will show his greatness and holiness so they will know him, YAHWEH — God of "his people" and also of all nations. I would love for God to show his greatness and holiness in our day; wouldn't you? To have God honored for who he is and what he has done would be marvelous. May that day come quickly.

Could this be true to me?

Acts 20:24
But none of these things move me; nor do I count my life dear to myself, so that I may finish my race with joy, and the ministry which

I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God.

Amid a crowd of paltry things

2 Corinthians 6:4
But in all things we commend ourselves as
ministers of God: in much patience, in tribulations, in needs, in distresses,

Questions in Job 

38:9-11
When I made the clouds its garment,
 And thick darkness its swaddling band;
  When I fixed My limit for it,
 And set bars and doors;
  When I said,
 ‘This far you may come, but no farther,
 And here your proud waves must stop!’
