Did you know that God has more than one name, or title, just as we do? Following are some of them and what they mean. They describe his different characteristics.
Probably the most popular name for God is God the Father. At least, in my opinion, it is anyway. In many religions, it is given to God as the first person of the Trinity although it is most prominent in Christianity. In Mathew 6, Jesus taught his disciples to pray to God the Father.
Another name for God is Yahweh which means "The Lord" and comes from the Hebrew word "I Am." It means someone that is divine and means "exist." Exodus 3:13-14
Abba means "Daddy Father." It is an intimate name and One who can be trusted. One that is upfront and personal. Galatians 4:6.
There is the name Jehova Rapha or "The Lord that heals you." Exodus 15:26
And Yahweh Shalom means "The Lord is Peace." Judges 6:24
Yahweh Nissi means "The Lord is my Banner." Exodus 17:15
And lastly, Yahweh Yireh means "The Lord will provide." Genesis 22:14.
This is not an exhaustive list as there are others. However, for the next 7 days at least, we look at them one by one so that we get a better understanding of why he is called each of them. I hope you will come back each day. Thanks so much for coming today. Have a blessed day as we get a little closer to spring and warmer temperatures.
