POWER IN THE NAME 

‘I am the Alpha and Omega,‘ says the Lord God, ‘who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty.‘ 

REVELATION 1:8 (NIV) 

How many times have you heard phrases like, ‘Be like John’ or ‘What would Anna do?’ or ‘Holly is a walking ray of sunshine’. Names are powerful. One word can contain so much meaning. A name can remind us of who a person is, can conjure memories and describe a person’s character and overall approach to situations.  

Throughout the Bible there are many names used to reference God. Names like Elohim, YHWH, Adonai, El Shaddai and Jehovah Jireh are all used to describe characteristics of our mighty God. Every name powerfully reminds us that our God is present and personal in our lives, that He has no limits, that He is master, He is healer and He is the Almighty. 

As you read through this week’s devotions, our prayer is that these names of God will take new meaning into your day-to-day life. That you will be powerfully reminded of who God is and how He is intricately weaving Himself through your everyday.
