The Name
What name do you call God by? God? YWHY? Adoni? The Great I AM? El Shaddai? El Elyon? Adonai? Lords of Hosts? Rock? Refuge? Savior? Friend? In actuality there are many more names for God. In the Jewish community it is The Name. Yahweh is never used out of reverence and respect for God. Respect and reverence for our Lord is not something most even think about. For westerners a name is not often a thing that commands respect unless the person owning it has power of some sort such as political or monetary or even fame. None of these are as worthy of the respect that Christ, the Holy Spirit or Yahweh should command. Yet they are most often far from the thoughts of people unless there is a problem and then only because they see God as a place to go to fix things instead of someone to share our lives with. Our Lord should be near and in our thoughts at all times in all we do, every moment of our day, every day of our lives. God is not a candy man. He is our creator, the creator of all that is. Reverence and respect should be give for the gift of our very lives.

ReplyDeleteYes, so many names for our Lord, which is mainly what I call Him. So much in a name, but no matter what anyone calls Him, He should be respected, thanked, honored and in our thoughts at all times. I had to laugh at the "God is not a candy man". So true! Us humans fall short often, we are born from original sin after all, but I think so many of us try hard to live our lives in thanks to God, for our lives, because He is our creator, the creator of all that is. Don't mock the Lord, for you will surely pay, instead respect and give Him reverence for he is the reason we are all here and will be in the after life. Very good post Jim, thoroughly enjoy your posts! Love this sweet image, you have colored him up so beautifully. I remember as a young teen, loving the Precious Moments images. They are still so sweet! Hugs, Brenda
