Jehovah Sabaoth, as a title of God, is used over 200 times in the Old Testament. It is first used in 1 Samuel 1:3. It can be translated as ‘the Lord of Hosts’ or ‘the Lord of Heaven’s Armies’.  

¹ God is our refuge and strength,
    always ready to help in times of trouble.
² So we will not fear when earthquakes come
    and the mountains crumble into the sea.
³ Let the oceans roar and foam.
    Let the mountains tremble as the waters surge!  Interlude
⁴ A river brings joy to the city of our God,
    the sacred home of the Most High.
⁵ God dwells in that city; it cannot be destroyed.
    From the very break of day, God will protect it.
⁶ The nations are in chaos,
    and their kingdoms crumble!
God’s voice thunders,
    and the earth melts!
⁷ The Lord of Heaven’s Armies is here among us;
    the God of Israel is our fortress.  Interlude
⁸ Come, see the glorious works of the Lord:
    See how he brings destruction upon the world.
⁹ He causes wars to end throughout the earth.
    He breaks the bow and snaps the spear;
    he burns the shields with fire.
¹⁰ “Be still, and know that I am God!
    I will be honored by every nation.
    I will be honored throughout the world.”
¹¹ The Lord of Heaven’s Armies is here among us;
    the God of Israel is our fortress.  Interlude

Psalm 46

When we refer to God as Jehovah Sabaoth, we declare God’s power and dominion over Heaven, earth, and the entire universe. We declare that God is powerful and mighty, and through Jesus’ resurrection power, He has victory over sin and death.

Consider God as Jehovah Sabaoth.

Take some time to meditate on this aspect of God and worship Him for being Jehovah Sabaoth.

Write down what it means for God to be Jehovah Sabaoth in your life.
