The names of God - Praise

I turned on the TV this morning and a program had just started. The guy was sharing about praising God and he gave 9 names of God that we can praise Him with. Message on praise. Part 4 of a series. I found this message encouraging and lifted my spirit. The past year has been trying for me and at times out loud I didn't even have the energy to praise, but within me, I could still give thanks, prayer and praise.

Praise with the names of God.

His name is:

Yahweh - to be / ever living / self existing.

Jehovah Jireh - the Lord will provide - Jesus offered for us. Gen 2 God will provide himself a sacrifice. (He is the one who sees ahead. He sees your need before you see it).

Jehovah Rapha - to cure / to heal / to restore. God's name is the healing. His name is synonymous for wholeness. His name is a balm to your wounds.

Jehovah Nissi - God our banner. Ex 17. With a giant threat, praise Jehovah Nissi. Victory.

Jehovah Makkadesh - to set aside, separated. God is separated from sin, God is sinless. God dedicated himself for me. Holy.

Jehovah Shalom - God our peace. Judges 6. Gideon. Disobedient to God, but they turned to Him and God heard their prayer and they built an alter. Deep abiding peace.

Jehovah Rohi - the Lord is my Shepherd.

Jehovah Tsidkenu - the Lord our Righteousness. Jer 23:6. This is like a long tall glass of water to a thirsty person. Jer was a time of violence and corruption. Spiritual leaders confused and scattered.
God said, I am going to send my Righteousness. Christ became our righteousness.

Jehovah Shammah - God is always present. Every moment of every day, God is there for you. He never pretends he doesn't know you, even when you can not accept yourself he accepts you.

Mat 28:20 This is why I praise. Praise His name and sense him engulfing you. Praise God with lips, with resources, with who we are.
