Jeremiah 23:5 “For the time is coming,” says the Lord,”when I will raise up a righteous descendant from King David’s line. He will be a King who rules with wisdom. He will do what is just and right throughout the land. 6 And this will be his name: `The Lord Is Our Righteousness.’ In that day Judah will be saved, and Israel will live in safety.
JEHOVAH-TSIDKENU ”The Lord Our Righteousness” From “tsidek” (straight, stiff, balanced – as on scales – full weight, justice, right, righteous, declared innocent.) God our Righteousness.
Declared innocent. Imagine you are standing before the Judge of the universe. In His presence there is no need for an accuser to point out your sins. The fire of His gaze illuminates your memory and every sin you ever committed burns in the forefront of your thoughts. There is an overwhelming flood of guilt and shame.
Off to the side of the Judges bench someone reads from a book a name… your name. The book is the Lamb’s Book of Life. And then as quickly as they lit up your sins burst into a bright white hot flame and are consumed and you hear the Judge say, “Innocent.”
Romans 8:1 So now there is no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus. 2 And because you belong to him, the power of the life-giving Spirit has freed you from the power of sin that leads to death.
Thank You, JEHOVAH-TSIDKENU, for shedding your blood as the penalty for my sin.
Love in Christ,

I’m afraid I can’t answer your questions. Someone else works as the webmaster for this blog. I’m the Dad who writes the daily devotions. My so is the singer song writer. He could give you the info on the webmaster. Thanks and God Bless.
