GOD’S NAME IN YOUR HEART

The name of the Lord is a strong tower; the righteous run to it and are safe.

Proverbs 18:10 nkjv


When you are confused about the future, go to your Jehovah-raah, your caring shepherd. When you are anxious about provision, talk to Jehovah-jireh, the Lord who provides. Are your challenges too great? Seek the help of Jehovah-shalom, the Lord is peace. Is your body sick? Are your emotions weak? Jehovah-rophe, the Lord who heals you, will see you now. Do you feel like a soldier stranded behind enemy lines? Take refuge in Jehovah-nissi, the Lord my banner.

Meditating on the names of God reminds you of the character of God. Take these names and bury them in your heart.

God is

  • the shepherd who guides,
  • the Lord who provides,
  • the voice who brings peace in the storm,
  • the physician who heals the sick, and
  • the banner that guides the soldier.

The Great House of God
