How do I know God? I call Him by His Name.

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?

Titles of Jehovah: The Lord Will Provide

Jehovah – Jireh – Jehovah our Provider

Yet To Be # 306

Different titles of Jehovah describe his office and his character. As a child of God, he is our Father, and daily as we turn the pages of the holy scriptures we learn more about him. 

In those pages, we know of eternal life and what it cost the Father to send his only begotten son to die for us. 

We also know of the price his son paid to redeem us back to God the Father. 

In his title, we glance at a small part of him, a small part of him he wants to share.

Jehovah – Jireh – Jehovah will provide.

He is the Provider.

For the Lord God is a sun and shield: the Lord will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly. Psalm 84 verse 11

But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. Philippians 4 verse 19.

And Abraham called the name fo that place Jehovah – jireh: as it is said to this day, In the mount of the Lord it shall be seen. Genesis 22 verse 14.
