Many Names.

Most of us have nick names..Some were given to us by our parents when we were young babies and others were given by friend and family as we grew up.  Some we may like and others not so much, but how many of those named offer hope in our time of need?  How many of those names offer protection and healing when we need it?

            God wants us to know that He is truly our all in all, that He can fill every void and fulfill every need.  So much so that He has revealed to us His many names and their meanings.  He gave Himself a name for every circumstance we encounter and every need we possess, that is how much He loves us.  He wants us to know that there is nothing too hard for Him, nothing too far for Him to reach, nothing He doesn't understand and nothing He can't feel. I've called on many of His names and have always been blessed, not just in Him seeing me through, but by the mere fact that I know He loved me enough to show me how He is there for me! 

            Here are some of His many names, but I urge you to study the bible for more that will help you in your time of need.

Jehovah Ropha--(yeh-ho-vaw' raw-faw'), which means Our Lord who Heals.  (Exodus 15:26). Whether it's sickness in our body or a need of spiritual healing we can call on our Lord.

Jehovah Shalom--(yeh-ho-vaw' shaw-lome'), which means The Lord of Peace.  (Judges 6:23-24).  He can always quiet our minds and give us a peace that only He can give.

Jehovah Jireh--(yeh-ho-vaw' yir-eh'), which means The Lord will Provide. (Genesis 22:13-14). He can and will provide for our every need if will call on Him.

Advocate, which means making intercession to God on our behalf.  (I John 2:1).  What an honor and privilege it is to know that Jesus is praying to and speaking to God on our behalf.

Jehovah Rohi--(yeh-ho-vaw' raw-aw'), which means The Lord is my Shepherd. (Psalms 23).  He will lead us, guide us and order our steps through every thing we face.

Bread of Life, just as bread is necessary for life so is God for true life.  (John 6:32-35)

Author and Finisher of our Faith, which means He is God the Son who was the beginning of Christianity and he then died on the cross and was the final atonement for our sin.  (Hebrew 12:1-2). 

Redeemer, Jesus paid the ultimate price for our sins by dying on the cross in our place. (Ephesians 1:6-7)

            These are only but a few of His mighty and wonderful names!!  He's everything we need, right when we need it and exactly how we need it.  He's so good like that and wants us to get to know Him, call on Him and trust Him for our every need!  Who wouldn't love a God like that!?!
