Greetings Dear Reader,
Names are amazing things.
They have a great deal of power.
If someone knows your name they can communicate in a unique way. Names have meaning and in some cultures a
name changes over time to reflect the person.
Recently a friend gave me a framed list of some of the names
of God. It is beautiful and hanging in
my office as I write this. It caused me
to ponder some of the ways in which God is addressed by others. If I truly wish to know God then I must
consider who he is within the names he provides for us to know him.
God is limitless in who he is. Plumbing the depths of this is beyond me, but
perhaps through the journey of his names I can learn how to better love
him. Walk with me if you wish.
El Shaddai, El
Shaddai,
El-Elyon na Adonai,
Age to age You're
still the same,
By the power of the
name.
El Shaddai, El
Shaddai,
Erkahmka na Adonai,
We will praise and
lift You high,
El Shaddai.
Through your love and
through the ram,
You saved the son of
Abraham;
Through the power of
your hand,
Turned the sea into
dry land.
To the outcast on her
knees,
You were the God who
really sees,
And by Your might,
You set Your children
free.
El Shaddai, El
Shaddai,
El-Elyon na Adonai,
Age to age You're
still the same,
By the power of the name.
El Shaddai, El
Shaddai,
Erkahmka na Adonai,
We will praise and
lift You high,
El Shaddai.
Through the years You
made it clear,
That the time of
Christ was near,
Though the people
couldn't see
What Messiah ought to
be.
Though Your Word
contained the plan,
They just would not
understand
Your most awesome work
was done
Through the frailty of
Your Son.
El Shaddai, El
Shaddai,
El-Elyon na Adonai,
Age to age You're
still the same,
By the power of the
name.
El Shaddai, El Shaddai,
Erkahmka na Adonai,
I will praise you
'till I die,
El Shaddai.
Wishing you joy in the journey,
Aramis Thorn
Mat 13:52 So Jesus said to them, "That is why every writer
who has become a disciple of Christ’s rule of the universe is like a home
owner. He liberally hands out new and old things from his great treasure
store."
