_ I found myredeemerlives and blueletter bible to be the most helpful for this name. All of the meaning  of name, link to verses (Isaiah 26:4) were from my redeemerlives.  The singular most helpful website for me in this complete study.
There were so many more gems there and in other links I gave that I deliberately didn't put in these studies, so you have the joy of finding them for yourself! 

There are numerous studies and websites online and in books that I haven't mentioned.

_  El Olam
“The God of Everlasting Time (Eternity) or
The Everlasting God
”

bible verses Gen. 21:33, Ps 93:2; Jer 10:10; Isaiah 40:28;

"Trust in Yahweh forever [El Olam]; for in Yah, Yahweh, is an everlasting Rock." Isaiah 26:4
(Trust in the LORD forever, for the LORD, the LORD himself, is the Rock eternal.”)

Also “the everlasting God who never changes” as seen in Psalm 90:1-2, Isaiah 26:4

When I have forgiven someone and I think it is forgotten (it can be years ago); sometimes it comes back to me in my mind and on occasion has even annoyed me all over again. I have to go back to God, apologising for my own thoughts as well as forgiving and leaving it again with God.

I can be tired and something that normally wouldn’t bother me suddenly annoys me. 
Hamish can be ‘trying’ some days when nothing seems to have changed. He will leave an ornament or something alone for ages then suddenly decide to go after it.  I can have patience with him one day and the next have none. 

We are all fickle!  I am so ‘changing.’ 
Thankfully we have a God, El Olam who never changes.  He is the same yesterday, today and forever (Hebrews 13:8)
He will never change His mind about saving me, never stop loving me.  
When God forgives He forgets completely.(Psalm 103:12)
You don’t need to live in fear that one day He will surprise you with your past forgiven sin and hold it against you.

When events just seem to be ever-changing around you, like photos cycling through a screensaver; one minute everything is fine the next everything is crumbling around you.  Remember God is unchanging; He will always be El Olam. 
So you can trust El Olam, put your worries, burdens onto Him. 
El Olam is the rock eternal – nothing can crack, puncture, shake, drill, explode, prod, or damage the Rock eternal.
If you are saved, nothing can pry you out of His hand (John 10:28).  Our salvation is assured! 

Do you believe that or doubt it sometimes?

Or do you need to come and know you are saved from your sins so you can spend eternity with God?

I was trying to think of all the songs that had reference to God the rock. 

Looking at lyrics relating to the different names of God is another way to remember, worship and apply what we have learned.

Ascribe greatness was the first song I thought of.

ASCRIBE GREATNESS to our God, the Rock,               
His work is perfect and all His ways are just.
Ascribe greatness to our God, the Rock,
His work is perfect and all His ways are just.
A God of faithfulness and without injustice,
Good and upright is He;
A God of faithfulness and without injustice,
Good and upright is He.

For some reason it was the old hymns I remember not the new songs.  Even if these hymns aren’t to your musical taste the words are lovely. 

Rock of ages Is a very old hymn, this website gives the history of hymns as well as music.
My hope is built.


Hiding in thee  Another website with music, history and lyrics although you would have to open up two pages as you can’t view the lyrics and the music together. 
Cyberhymnal
(above links) also gives this song.

How many can you think of?  These are just a start.  Try and do it with all the names of God!
