Your Name

Today during worship we sang the song Your Name by Phillips, Craig & Dean. In case you would like to hear the song, you can go to http://www.phillipscraiganddean.com/.

The chorus says "Your Name is a strong & mighty tower, Your Name is shelter like no other, Your Name, let the nations sing it louder, 'Cause nothing has the power to save but Your Name."

With all the "name game" going on and talk about our baby's name, it really made me stop to think. What is in a name? A name is how you are identified and are known. Most people have a first, middle, and last name. This is how they are defined.

But what about God? He does not have just one name; He has several. He cannot be defined by just one name. So, what are some of God's names? This week, I want to reflect on the many names of God.

Here is what I have so far:

Lord

Savior

Friend

Wonderful

Counselor

Confidant

Lion

Lamb

Almighty

The Word

I Am

Beginning & End

Alpha & Omega

Holy

Master

Lord

Jehovah

Shepherd

Deliverer

Redeemer

Jehovah-Jireh "The Lord will provide"


The last one speaks to me lately. With our step of faith of me not returning to my job next year, I need to grasp onto that name "Jehovah-Jireh", the Lord will provide.

What about you? What Name of the Lord means much to you?
