TO BEAR HIS NAME
Weekly Insights into the Names of God
(Taken from the To Bear HIs Name Study by Sandra J. Mikler Davis)
 
This year we have been looking at the names of God:
  • January - ADONAI = our Sovereign Ruler; Almighty Master; Lord over all!!
  • February - JEHOVAH = He is Self-existent, Eternal, Righteous, Holy, and YHWH-I = AM WHO I AM.
  • March - ELOHIM = He is the Creator God; actively involved in the world He made.
  • April - EL ELYON = signifies the exaltedness, supremacy, and overwhelming majesty of His deity.
  • May - EL ROI = the all-seeing God
  • June - EL SHADDAI = God Almighty, complete, perfect; having integrity
  • July - Jehovah Tsidkenu = LORD our Righteousness; altogether Righteous

Jehovah-Rohi - Week One

This Hebrew noun means: LORD my Shepherd; the Great Shepherd
.
 
This name for God is used 62 times in the Old Testament.
The Bible reveals an important analogy to those who know the truth of Jehovah Rohi.
You may have heard the passage “all we like sheep have gone astray”.
In our observation this week, we are focusing on the “only One” who can lead us into the right pathway to life.

In Genesis 48:15 we read about father Jacob, now renamed Israel, giving his blessing to each of his children at the end of his life. He begins his blessing with a deep, reverential description of the one, true God:
 
He blessed Joseph, and said,
'The God before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac walked,
the God who has been my shepherd all my life to this day….'
 
When all was said and done, Jacob realized that the only thing in this life that matters is our relationship with the one, true God.
He realized that God had been the One guiding and directing his life.  
 
APPLICATION:
  • Have I come into an intimate relationship with God and accepted Him as my Shepherd?
  • If not, do so today.
  • If yes, am I allowing Him to be my Shepherd this week?
