El Shaddai: The Lord God Almighty

"When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the Lord appeared to him and said, “I am El-Shaddai—‘God Almighty.’ Serve me faithfully and live a blameless life." - Genesis 17:1 NLT

El Shaddai means God Almighty. ‌It is also translated as the Almighty God or the All-Sufficient One. ‌The root word is shad, which means “breast.” ‌Its focus is on nourishment with the analogy of a mother nursing a baby.

Research shows that breastfeeding is the preferred way to feed a newborn baby. Breast milk contains everything a baby needs to grow and develop, including a unique and specific formula of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.

God tells Abraham I am El Shaddai. ‌This means God is the power-sufficient one. He is Almighty God.

‌He is the one we need for our nourishment. Just like everything a baby needs, our nourishment comes from God. Everything we need is found in Him. He is El Shaddai, the All-Sufficiency One.
