God's Name

You wrote Your glorious name across the heavens and it read
Elohim - The Creator.

You pronounced Your holy name to Your people and it was
Yahweh - Lord of Relationship.

You posted Your powerful name at life's valleys and dead-ends and it was
El Shaddai - All Sufficient God.

You spoke Your lovely name into fears and conflicts and it was
Jehovah Shalom - The Lord Our Peace.

You whispered Your compassionate name into sorrow and brokenness and it was
Jehovah Jireh - The Lord Provides.

You signed Your most beautiful name in blood upon our hearts and it was
JESUS - Jehovah is Salvation!
