HIS NAME 2

EL - THE STRONG ONE

EL occurs more than 200 times in the Old Testament.  Generic Semitic name for God, used by other cultures to refer to their gods.  EL is used in compound proper names such as 
Isra-el (wrestles with God), 
Beth-el (House of God), and 
EL-isha (God of Salvation)

He is more powerful than any false god.  God will overcome all obstacles.  We can depend on God.

Exodus 15:2  "The LORD is my strength and my song; HE has become my salvation.  He is my God and I will praise HIM; my father's God, and I shall exalt HIM."
