Updated 2/17/11 The Bible provides us with the many names of God. Some of the names are titles and some are descriptions of Him. These are the names I've harvested so far. They are in alphabetical order. Notice that the most personal name of all, Abba (Daddy), comes first and Worthy comes last. As I meditate on the names I am overwhelmed at how He is first my Daddy and yet He is the Almighty God, the First and Last, Mighty and Terrible, and so many other great and powerful names! Then, at the end, we find He is Worthy. He is Worthy of all we can give Him. Try meditating on His names. Make them personal. Keep going back to Abba as you absorb the meanings behind His names. Don't be surprised if you find yourself prone on the floor, weeping with joy! Also, as you read your Bible or as you are praying try intermingling God's names. If you did not have a loving human father try inserting Father of the Fatherless in place of His other names. If you are in the midst of turmoil try calling Him Peacemaker or Refuge from the Storm. Find one of His names that touches where you are at the moment and use it as you pray and as you read your Bible. You will be amazed at how much more personal God feels when you do that. "O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together." Psalm 34:3 Ponder this scripture prayerfully. There is something more there than meets the eye: "Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth." Psalm124:8 (Also see the Redemptive Names of God) (This page has cool fonts.

Abba Rom 8:15 |
NAMES OF JESUS To me, just looking at all the names of Jesus just reinforces the fact that Jesus was God in the flesh. He wasn't just a prophet. He wasn't just the son of God.
When I reflect on His
names I am continually amazed that Jesus voluntarily sacrificed Himself for
me. My King died for me. Amazing, simply amazing! |
