I am thankful for the Name of God! With
just a moment of thought, these are some of the names of God I came up
with…
Messiah ~ Jehovah ~ Ancient of
Days ~ Hiding Place
Lion of Judah ~ Everlasting
Father ~ Wonderful Counselor
Alpha and Omega (beginning
& end) ~ Emmanuel – God is WITH us
Jehovah-Jireh (God will provide) ~ Jehovah-Shalom (The Lord
is peace)
Jehovah-Shammah (the Lord who
is present ) ~ El Roi (The God Who sees)
Jehovah-Rapha (The Lord our healer) ~ El-Shaddai (God Almighty)
Faithful & True ~ Living
Word ~ Abba ~ Good Shepherd ~ Strong Tower
Great High Priest ~ Rabboni (teacher)
~ Prince of peace ~ Savior
Lamb of God ~ I Am
When I hear or speak the Name of God I
am reminded of Who He is – and His character. That is why only the Name of God
can bring joy and comfort to my hurt and discouraged heart or bring healing and
peace.
God’s Name - it represents Him in all
the fullness and glory that is Him! I think that is why it brings me to tears
when I hear people use God’s name in swearing or flippant ways. It especially
breaks my heart to hear people who wear His Name (Christians) use God’s name so
casually as filler or in an angry response. We who love God and walk with Him
should speak the Name with absolute awe and reverence it can’t help but be
noticed by those who don’t know our Creator~Redeemer. Why? Because His Name is –
wonderful!
“Your Name and renown are the
desires of our hearts…”
Isaiah 26:8
