Stephen's direction is clear. While on the island, he will keep his mind spiritually and mentally sharp. He will recite aloud the descriptions of our Lord.

The Lord, God, who heals, sanctifies, and provides ---our Creator, our all-sufficient, Lord, and Maker ---our loving Shepherd, who sets the standard through peace and righteousness ---the Almighty, all-knowing, ever-present, immutable God.

The song of praise rings out in Stephen's head:  

                                                                         

El Elyon, El Shaddai

Jehovah-jireh, Adonai,  

Elohim, Jehovah-shammah.                                                  

El Roi, Jehovah-raah, 

Jehovah-saboath-tsidkenu-nissi-shalom, 

          
     Loving Lord, thank you …Jesus, prepare for me a home.
