The bible mentions God by many different names, depending on the specific aspects of His character.
Since I was very young, I enjoyed learning the different names of God - but I didn't really know what they meant.
While doing the study Lord Teach Me to Pray by Kay Arthur I found a list of the names of God and I have gone back to that list many times since I first read this book a year ago.
Check this out!
- Elohim Genesis 1:1 Creator
- El Elyon Genesis 14:18-20 The Most High (Sovereign)
- Jehovah-Tsidkenu Jeremiah 23:6 The Lord our Righteousness
- Jehovah-Jirah Genesis 22:14 The Lord with provide
- Jehovah-Roi Psalm 23:1 The Lord is my Shepherd
- Jehovah-Shalom Judges 6:24 The Lord is peace
- Jehovah-Nissi Exodus 17:15 The Lord is my Banner
- Jehovah-Rophe Exodus 15:26 The Lord who heals
- Jehovah-Shammah Ezekiel 48:35 The Lord is there
- Jehovah-Sabaoth I Samuel 1:3-11 The Lord of hosts
The Bible tells us "The name of the Lord is a strong tower; the righteous runs into it and is safe." Proverbs 18:10
Which name from the chart deals with where you are today?
For me, the Lord is my peace (Jehovah-Shalom).
Since discipline and forming solid foundational habits are my focus right now, the name "Jehovah-Roi (The Lord is my Shepherd)" resonates most with me.
