Hey friends. I am so glad to be back here today.
I feel like life is getting in the way from my blogging lately.
I think this little pamphlet was filled with some of the most amazing words.
I wanted to share with you a few of my favorite names for our God.
Besides the most comfortable like, Lord, Father, Daddy I was really moved by this list of names.
Adonai (ah-doe-ni) meaning The Lord, My Great Lord. God is our total authority! How comforting and reassuring is that.
Elohim (el-o-heem) meaning Creator, The all powerful one. This is how God is referred in Genesis 1:1. Elohim is found over 2300 times in the Bible referring to God! The is amazing and makes you think that He really wanted us to remember this name!
El Roi (el Roy) meaning The God who sees me. There are no circumstances n our lives that escape His fatherly awareness and care. Did you hear that NO CIRCUMSTANCE. He is always there, always watching, ;always listening, always caring.
Jehovah-Jireh (juh-HO-vah JI-rah) meaning The Lord will provide. God will meet all our needs, not what we THINK we need, but our actual needs. He provided His son Jesus as the ultimate sacrifice. We have no reason to doubt Him.
Jehovah-Shalom (juh-Ho-vah sha-LOME) meaning The Lord is peace. Jesus is our Prince of Peace. God is the only one who can give us a peace that transcends all understanding.
Do you have a favorite name for God? maybe it's Emmanuel, YHWH, or friend.
what ever it is we are so blessed to have such a loving heavenly father.
Thanks, Chrissy!
