And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, Jehovah appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am God Almighty. Walk before me, and be thou perfect (Genesis 17:1; ASV).
"El" is the most basic Hebrew word for deity. It can refer to the true and living God or to any false god. "Shaddai" has to do with might, and power. Jehovah reveals Himself to Abram in Genesis 17 as El Shaddai, "God Almighty."
Like Abram, let us walk before El Shaddai and be "blameless" (NKJV).
