Leviticus 24:16 And whoever blasphemes the name of the LORD shall surely be put to death. All the congregation shall certainly stone him, the stranger as well as him who is born in the land. When he blasphemes the name [of the LORD], he shall be put to death. Not blaspheming God’s name was a…

Tzva'ot
Psalm 59:5 You, LORD God Tzva’ot, the God of Yisra’el, Rouse yourself to punish the nations. Show no mercy to the wicked traitors. Selah. I thought the name for God here, Tzva’ot, was interesting so I actually did some research! I found that in the Hebrew it’s written tsaba, which is translated hosts. But, if…
The Prince of Peace
In the spirit of Christmas, here’s the post I originally was going to link you to. It’s about the names of Yeshua, our Prince of Peace, our Mighty GOD, or Everlasting and loving Father. It’s awesome! The Prince of Peace by Skip Moen
Hope
Matthew 12:21 And his name will be the hope of all the world. This is actually Jesus quoting from Isaiah (42:1-4) regarding a prophecy made about him. I thought it was fitting because during this time of year (Christmas) the name of Jesus is heard more often (since that’s the real reason we celebrate). His…
Praying God's Names – El Elyon
The littles were up early this morning, so I am taking the short way out. Every once in a while I check out some of my favorite devotionals at crosswalk.com. This one is all about the names of God! I thought it was pretty appropriate to the theme of the blog. Also, this entry is…
Known Among the Nations
Malachi 1:11 But my name is honored by people of other nations from morning till night. All around the world they offer sweet incense and pure offerings in honor of my name. For my name is great among the nations,” says the LORD Almighty. I find this interesting. God is angry at Israel because they…
Order and Breaking Chains
I was reading in Zechariah again this morning, and despite its general encouragement and hope, nothing was sticking out. So, I went and read Skip Moen’s Daily Word blog (which is one of my favorites). The first one was about living water which reminded me about Zechariah 13:1 (On that day a fountain will be…
The Pride of Jacob
Amos 8:7 Now the Lord has sworn this oath by his own name, the Pride of Israel:… In Hebrew the name is “The Pride of Jacob.” Remember, Jacob’s name was changed to Israel after wrestling with God. I read a post recently that said, “So much of Genesis is about Jacob’s struggle to make God…
I Bear Your Name
Jeremiah 15: 16 Your words are what sustain me. They bring me great joy and are my heart’s delight, for I bear your name, O Lord God Almighty. All through the book of Jeremiah, God is telling Jeremiah about the punishment that Israel will incur because they have turned so totally away from God. Jeremiah…
