"Hallowed be thy name"
Jesus directs us to exhalt the name of God. First I will present a list, though certainly not exhaustive, of the Covenant names of God. Each time in scripture God gave a promise in the word, He sealed it with His Name or a revelation that speaks to His Character. For example: Moses was grappling with how God not only wants Moses to stand before Pharoah but to lead a nation...God stated what He intended to do and the outcome. He sealed it with greatest name "I AM WHO I AM" (Exodus 3:14)!!!
God is who or what He says He is....reflect on your life as you go through this list and see how God has been different things to you in different circumstances...Faithful when all, maybe even you, were faithless...loving, compassionate, vindicator, the strength when you were frail, the life giver when hope was but a memory...the only one who has and always be there...HE IS WHO HE SAYS HE IS ALWAYS!!!!
Jehovah Elohim - Eternal Creator (Genesis 2:4-25)
Jehovah Elyon - Lord most High (Psalm 7:17; 47:2; 97:9)
Jehovah Elohay - Lord my God (Zechariah 14:5)
Jehovah Jireh - Lord my provider (Genesis 22:8-14)
Jehovah Ropheka - Lord my healer (Exodus 15:26)
Jehovah Shammah - The Lord is present (Ezekiel 48:35)
Jehovah Rohi - The Lord my shepherd (Psalm 23:1)
Jehovah Tsidkeenu - The Lord my righteousness (Jeremiah 23:6; 33:16)
Jehovah Shalom - The Lord our peace (Judges 6:24)
Ehmet - Trustworthiness
Channun - Gracious
Rachum - Merciful, full of tenderness and compassion
Arek-aph - Longsuffering, not easily angered or irritated
Jehovah Hoseenu - The Lord our maker (Psalm 99:5; 8, 9)
Jehovah Mekaddishkem - The Lord our sanctifier......
And the list goes on and on... Who is God personally to you?...Therefore and rightfully HALLOW BE HIS NAME!!!!
As children of God, established in full assurance by the Blood and the mark of the Holy Spirit, we inherit all the covenant names of God given to Abraham, Jacob, Isaac, Moses etc...God is and so much more LORD and SOVEREIGN for all eternity...and yet He loves you and wants you to be His....That will always cause me to Praise His Name Above all!!! Blessings :)
