Names of God

Describe your firstborn, spouse, or best friend in terms of nouns only.  What do they do?  As in, my son is a mathematician, pianist, brother, Christian, tennis player, husband, . . . you get the picture.  Those are all names I could call him.  Hey, piano dude!  Each name reflects another facet of his personality and character. 


In the same way, God's many names reflect His attributes and His works.  He is not just our Father, but the Creator, Sustainer, Judge, Holy One of Israel.  Each one brings out another trait that we need to know and trust. 

Psalm 8 tells us how majestic His name is.  Psalm 138 tells us to give thanks to His name, for He has exalted above all things His name and His word.  Proverbs 18:10:  The name of the Lord is a strong tower; the righteous man runs into it and is safe.

God's names matter; they show us who He is and what He does and what He is capable of.  They give us a sure footing.  They remind us who God is for us!  

For the next several weeks, the women's Sunday School class will be taking a look at the Hebrew names of God, as we seek to know Him better and trust Him more in our daily lives.

We'd love to have you join us!
