The Names of God

"May the Lord answer you in the day of trouble;
May the name of the God of Jacob defend you;"
~Psalm 20:1

Did you know that the name Jehovah is used as a prefix for more than 10 Old Testament names that describe the character and nature of God? Below I have listed the 9 most common names of God that use the Jehovah prefix, and their meanings. Here are a few more important questions: Which of these names are most relevant to you and your life today, in this season of your life? Which one of God’s names below can you say is most appropriate for your life in relation to the second part of Psalm 20:1 which says, May the name of the God of Jacob defend you? Which of God’s names do you stand on in this season of your life to give you victory over the schemes, lies, and attacks of Satan?
 
Consider the names below, and answer each of the questions above.

• Jehovah Nissi (The Lord My Banner)

• Jehovah-Raah (The Lord My Shepherd)
• Jehovah Rapha (The Lord That Heals)
• Jehovah Shammah (The Lord Is There)
• Jehovah Tsidkenu (The Lord Our Righteousness)
• Jehovah M'kaddesh (The Lord Who Sanctifies You)
• Jehovah Jireh (The Lord Will Provide)
• Jehovah Shalom (The Lord Is Peace)
• Jehovah Sabaoth (The Lord of Hosts)

 
For me, I call on Jehovah M'kaddesh as my defender. He has set me apart and called me for His purposes. Therefore, no one can defeat me or snatch me out of His hand or His plan. I am His and He is mine!
 
What about you? Have you found yourself in the “day of trouble” recently? Take refuge and defense in one or several of His many Great Names!
 
Victorious In His name,
