The Names of God and Our Perception

The names we call God are not just titles; they are revelations of His nature and His workings in our lives. When Moses encountered God in the burning bush, he was given the name "Yahweh" - "I AM THAT I AM" (Exodus 3:14), revealing God's eternal existence and unchanging nature. This personal name of God, Yahweh, is a testament to His promise to be with us, a pledge of His constant presence and active involvement in our lives.

Our perception of God is often a reflection of how we've encountered Him. Has He been your Jehovah Jireh, providing in times of need? Or perhaps El Roi, the God who sees you in your affliction? Each name carries with it a story of God's faithfulness and power.

As we seek a deeper relationship with God, let us delve into the richness of His character. Let the names of God be more than words; let them shape our understanding and experience of the Divine.
