“The God of Many Names!” (I made that one up) But, truly, there are so many, many names – especially in Psalms! Recently, I read Psalms 95-107 over and over again to focus on thanksgiving. As I was reading, I began writing all the different names of God I found in just these thirteen psalms!
Master Even though He is “Master”, Jesus came to serve as “Servant.” He taught us the way to be servants. All God’s people ought to acknowledge themselves as His servants, with God’s right to reign as Lord of their lives. In the English Bible translations, “Master” and “Teacher” are often used interchangeably. There’s not much difference,… Read More »
King of Kings/Lord of Lords These two names together mean supreme majesty and absolute supreme authority. This is the superlative form of description! Scripture: Revelation 19:16 CSB ~ “On His robe and on His thigh, He has a name written, King of kings and Lord of lords.” I Timothy 6:15 NIV ~ “God will bring… Read More »

Jehovah Jehovah is an English translation of the Hebrew name, “Yahweh,” the proper name for the God of the Bible. It means “The Lord,” from “I AM.” When God told Moses to go to Pharaoh and lead the Israelites out of Egypt, Moses was understandably scared. He needed to know God had his back. “Moses… Read More »
One of my favorite names is “Intercessor.” Knowing our temptations and all the situations we encounter, God the Son, intercedes. He holds the door open for us to come boldly to the throne. He is also the bridge which connects us to our heavenly Father.
Scripture: Matthew 1:23 ~ “Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall call His name ‘Immanuel’ (which means, God with us).” This speaks to the same attribute that God is omnipresent, that God is everywhere. The slight difference is Emmanuel means God is with us. The phrase about God making His… Read More »
El Elyon “El Elyon” means “God Most High”. Nothing in life is more sacred. God Most High reigns supreme; is greater than any force of darkness; bigger than any problem. I like to think of Him as “greater than”. GOD > ______(anything you can write in on that line.)
