The Many Names of Jesus : Day # 2

* This is a continuation from yesterday's post " The Many Names of Jesus"

Today's post was all about 1 name. I remember the message I received was someone needs to pray this one name. Yes, we all pray in the name of Jesus but sometimes, we got to make that extra effort, go the extra mile and cry unto our maker, The LORD.

Arrangement :

NAME

Scripture for reference

My thoughts (if any) 

 ADONAI (Ahdonay)

  
Exodus 6:3 - That appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, by the name of God Almighty; and my name ADONAI I did not shew them ( Douay-Rheims Bible)

Exodus 6:3 - and I appeared to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, as God Almighty, but by my name, LORD, I did not make Myself known to them. (American Standard Version)

Scripture for cross reference: 

Psalm 68 : 4 - Sing to God, sing praise to His name, extol Him who rides on the clouds. His name is the LORD- and rejoice before Him.


Psalm 83:18 - That they may know that You alone, whose name is the LORD, are the Most High over all the earth.


and more Genesis 17:1, Jeremiah 16:21, Ezekiel 37:6,        Ezekiel 37:13

My thoughts : What an awesome God we serve who just introduces Himself as "LORD". If you notice the world is moving towards a direction where all is about titles. It always goes like , The Honourable, The so and so and so. The Royal yada-yada-yada.

Here as usual God puts all human thinking and ways to shame, but just appearing and saying " I'm LORD". That's it. He doesn't say I am the Honourable, Dignified, Most Powerful , King of all Kings, and Lord of all Lords, the LORD".

In Genesis He shows Himself to Abraham, to Isaac, to Jacob, the Almighty but I did not tell them my name. "The LORD". 

Grow in His likeness, be as simple as we can in life and just be confident in the knowledge that we belong to and serve an Awesome God, simply known as the LORD. All might and power is in Him, but all He desires is our obedience to Him. That's all. Simple and powerful. 

Stay blessed.
