My hope is that this series will offer my readers a chance to consider the names, characteristics and descriptions of our God in the Word.
The remaining Names of God in this series might be considered descriptors, or characteristics of the Lord. We have reviewed the three primary Names of God, along with nineteen compound Names of God in our previous posts. As we venture through these descriptors of our God, I hope we will recognize all the many characteristics of our God that we tend to take for granted.
The Word is truly rich with descriptions of the Living God, and this effort of searching in the Word was quite illuminating. He truly is the ultimate subject of the Word, and His revelation of self-descriptions, or the accolades offered Him by His priests, prophets, kings apostles and faithful truly is a blessing.
May the Name of the Lord be praised, and by thinking on His name, may you have a blessed day.
HIGH YOUR RIGHT HAND
Psalm 89:13 You have a mighty arm; strong is your hand, high your right hand.
When I work out, speicifically in a gym, my first exercise is the curl. You know, that exercise when you take a 2 lb weight in both hands, anchor your elbows near your hips and lift the weight to your upper chest. I have been known to do up to 5 curls at a time before I need a wipe down from all the effort expended!
My point is that even in our modern culture, as it was in old days, the physical strength of a man is often indicated by the biceps, the arm of the fella. I have a son in law whose arm is the size of my leg. Thankfully he likes me!
As we read this psalm, the psalmist is speaking of the strength of the Lord, by relating all His acts in creation in relation to arm strength, in order to communicate to his fellow Israelites a picture of the Lord in His might!
Yet this last phrase in the verse
I would love to hear of your favorite name, characteristic or description of the Living God. Please leave me a comment, and I will include it in the list!
