Sometimes stating the obvious really does help.
We see what we look at.
If we spend our time looking at the things we stress over or hate–that is all we see! That does not lead to victorious living. Look to Jesus!
After the Israelites defeated the Amalekites, Moses built an altar to Jehovah Nissi. The Lord, our Banner. It is a beautiful name to remind us to look to God. We are soldiers of Christ; there are battles in life. We must look to God.
Another cool part of these double names is remembering what Jehovah means. Here is a great insight from the Blueletterbible site:
The chief meaning of Jehovah is derived from the Hebrew word Havahmeaning “to be” or “to exist.” It also suggests “to become” or specifically “to become known” – this denotes a God who reveals Himself unceasingly.
God wants us to know Him and look to Him!
