The name of the Lord is a strong tower; the righteous man runs into it and is safe. Proverbs 18:10
Over the next few weeks, we’ll be exploring several of the names of God we find in Scripture. We hope you will join us in learning more about the character and nature of God during this study.
What is your favorite name of God?
Oh how exciting! I’ve been wanting to focus on this during my quiet time!
Elohim is one of my favorites!! Looking forward to this series!
My favorite name of God is the tetragrammaton YHWH, I was reading on Ann VosKamps blog several months ago and she mentioned something about it meaning or being breathing. I did some research on it and I love this quote from Rabbi Lawrence which says what I would like to much more succinct.
“The letters of the name of God in Hebrew… are infrequently pronounced Yahweh. But in truth they are inutterable….
This word {YHWH} is the sound of breathing.
The holiest name in the world, the Name of Creator, is the sound of your own breathing. That these letters are unpronounceable is no accident. Just as it is no accident that they are also the root letters of the Hebrew verb ‘to be’… God’s name is name of Being itself.”
~Rabbi Lawrence Kushner
Isn’t that an incredible thought that just by breathing we are calling out the name of God? Just by being. What an Awesome Creator!!
~Blessings~
