In our first week we discussed why study the names of God. If someone were to ask you to describe God, what would you say? Is 50:10 tells us to “Trust in the name of the Lord and rely on your God”. In biblical times a name represented a person’s character. God’s name represents His character, His attributes, His nature. To know His name is to know Him.
In times of trouble we should run to our God and put our trust in Him, put our confidence in Him (Psalm 50:15). I wonder why we don’t we turn to Him more often...Why do we hesitate to run into the arms of our all-sufficient God...Why do many collapse in times of trouble and testing; could it be because we don’t really know Him?
If you are struggling with fears, insecurities and troubles, you will soon know more about the character of God from the information obtained from the names of God then ask that He meet your needs. “The people who know their God will display strength and take action”(Dan 11:32).
I found this really great you tube video that beautifully articulates the names of God. I hope you enjoy it… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5-6gwssX0Y
