"O LORD, our Lord, How excellent
is Your name in all the earth,..." Psalm 8:1
Our names are precious to us....they reveal who we are. They are a
personal connection, a unique part of us. Names in Biblical times were very
important,as they revealed a person's character. As we read through Scripture
we can see the importance of names, therefore, it should be a priority in our
lives to learn the Names of God. God has many Names and each reveals Him in a
different way. God's Names represent His attributes, His
nature. Therefore, it is important that we know God by His many Names. I
hope you are encouraged and uplifted as you read these Names of God. I would
urge you to take time to worship Him daily by calling upon Him using His
various Names... to do so will be an awesome experience in knowing God.
