Worshipping and praying through the names of God

The study of names is an amazing thing…to see where names originate from…. to find out their meaning and also the concept of why people name their children the names they do!!

In years gone by names carried far more significance than they do today.  In addition to distinguishing one person from another, names were often thought to reveal the essential nature and character of a person.

A way to worship God is to contemplate His names.  Exalt God, for He is Creator.  He is Love.  He is Redeemer.  He is Shepherd.  He is Saviour, Lord, and Father.  He is Judge.  He is Comforter.  He is Teacher.  He is I AM.  Our God is the Mighty One.

Dwell on His identity.  God is our shield.  Our stronghold.  Our light.  Our strength.  Our sustainer.  Our rescuer.  Our fortress.

Meditate on God’s attributes.  Contemplate His names.  Dwell on His identity. Adore Him.  Respect Him. Honour Him.  Love Him.  Exalt Him.  Use the rest of your life getting ready to worship our awesome God forever.

O worship the King,
All glorious above,
And gratefully sing
His power and His love. —Grant

Let everything that has breath praise the Lord. —Psalm 150:6
