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
  • August - JEHOVAH ROHI = LORD my Shepherd; the Great Shepherd
This month we will observe: JEHOVAH SHALOM = The LORD of Peace

This name for God is used 170 times in the Old Testament.
In the Hebrew, this word has a variety of meanings:
complete; welfare; health; whole; safety
 
In the meaning of safety, we find several passages:
 
Genesis 28:18-21 – Jacob and God’s safety during travels
I Samuel 20:7, 13, 21, 42 - David and Jonathan in their acknowledgement that God would give safety to their families in generations to come
Psalm 4:8 – David says:

In peace I will both lie down and sleep,
for You alone, O Lord, make me to dwell in safety.
 
Next week we will begin observing that this word Shalom has more of a meaning than just physical safety or well being. 
 
APPLICATION:
  • When was a time that I was fearful because of a physical situation, and God stepped in and provided safety?
  • Is there something physically today that is causing me fear or anxiety?
  • Will I give it to God, or will I depend upon someone else, or try to fix it myselfHave?
