Jehovah
What A Holy,
Awe-Inspiring Name That Is.
Which of the many names of God gives you strength or hope this morning?
Scripture
9 He has paid a full ransom for his people; now they are always free to come to Jehovah (what a holy, awe-inspiring name that is).
Observation
Two
words jumped out at me this morning as I read Psalm 111: The words “Ransom” and
“Awe-inspiring or Awesome”.
We were ransomed. God paid a high price for us – His only Son’s death on the cross. Because we have been ransomed we can now freely come to our Heavenly Father any time we want. We have immediate access. We are blood bought.
The other word is Awe-inspiring or awesome!
We are to keep God’s name(s) Holy or Hallowed. We are not to use any of His names flippantly.
All of His names describe who He is. For instance (I will just mention a few):
El Shaddai -All-Sufficient One, Lord God Almighty
El Elyon - The Most High God
Adonai - Lord, Master
Yahweh - Lord, Jehovah
Jehovah-Raah- the Lord shepherds me
Jehovah-Jireh - The Lord Will Provide
His names are Awesome! God is Awesome! He is worthy of all Praise.
“Father” – this name for God is used 245 times in
the New Testament.
“So that at
the name of Jesus every knee will bow, in heaven and on earth and under the
earth.” Philip. 2:10
Application
I
will pray to my Heavenly Father using the Awesome name of Jesus who has
ransomed me from a life of sin and destruction.
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, it is because of Jesus and what He did for me that I am Yours. You
bought me with the blood of Your only Son. You are Awesome, Lord. You are the
King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Your name(s) are all awe-inspiring to me.
Amen.
