Appears 3 times in Scripture

Job 3:6

If only darkness had taken that night away! May it not appear among the days of the year; may it never be entered in any of the months.

Exodus 18:9

And Jethro rejoiced over all the good things the LORD had done for Israel, whom He had rescued from the hand of the Egyptians.

Psalms 21:6

When châdâh is spoken over you

Words like this one get spoken over people: in a prayer line, in a message from a friend, in a moment nobody planned. The lexicon gives you what châdâh means. What God is saying to you through it is yours to record and weigh.

Doxa is where you record what was said, in the words it was said in, weigh it against verses like Job 3:6 with people you trust, and return to it in a year to see what came of it.

Doxa, Engage God's Encouragement
