Names are labels to identify individuals. We are given a name before or after birth as a personal tag. As names can point a person out among a crowd, they can also be a symbol of that person’s character; they are an extension of a familial tradition.
With Jehovah or God, this is different. His names speak to his power and his glory. It can prove our faith and strength in various situations.
For example:
We call him, Jehovah Rapha, God our healer.
Going through physical sickness with nowhere to turn or trusting in him, we can say with assurance he will heal me because he says to ask anything in the name of his son, and he will do it.
We have some financial hardship? We can ask him to heal our finances and wait, believing because he is Jehovah Rapha.
In the book of Exodus 15 verse 26
, it says, I am the Lord your God who heals you.
Psalm 103 says he heals all my diseases.
Psalm 30 says he cried to God, and he healed him.
He is a stronghold in the day of trouble.
These are only a few words of comfort and acknowledgment concerning his name as the healer.
Can you say the same as Jehovah Rapha, my healer?
