We wear many hats don’t we? Mother, daughter, sister, friend, manager, chef, accountant, etc…
God too has many ancient names. You may have heard some of these in hymns or prayers. Have you wondered what they meant? Each name is a precious insight into the character of our Lord. Try using them in your prayer time this week…there is power in His name!
Elohim: God, Mighty Creator
He created me and others for a purpose: to have a permanent relationship of love with Him.
El Roi: The God Who Sees Me
He is with me always; never leaving me alone.
El Shadday: God Almighty
He is stronger than all the forces of evil and He has saved me from death.
El Olam: The Everlasting God
He lives forever and has restored me in an eternal relationship with Him.
Adonay: Lord, Master
He knows what is best for me and I am under His tender care.
Yahweh: Lord
He plans the events of my life for my good and His glory.
Yahweh Yireh: The Lord Will Provide
He gives me everything I will ever need.
Yahweh Nissi: The Lord is My Banner
Christ has died to set me free from the bondage of sin, giving me security and assurance.
Yahweh Shalom: The Lord is Peace
He has reconciled me to Himself and to others by the cross of Christ.
Yahweh Tsidqenu: The Lord Our Righteousness.
He is my Source for goodness and truth.
Yahweh Roi: The Lord is My Shepherd
He holds me close to His heart, lead me with patience, and protects me from evil.

He wrestles with me for our love and loyalty.
