Sometimes when we are consumed by heartache, the eyes of our heart can fail us. This life can blur our vision and make us doubt who God is for our every need. My hope for you today is to renew your heart by letting God speak to you about His covenant names.
Why is it so important that we know God’s name? It is the only way we outlast the storms that will inevitable roll in. “Those who know your name trust in you…” (Psalm 9:10 AMP). His names prove the enemy wrong. God wants us to know who He is and to fully understand His commitment to us!
His 8 covenant names are His unbreakable, non-negotiable promises to us in this life! Let Him speak a new message into your heart today about who He promises to be for you. Let’s walk through Psalms 23 together and peer into God’s heart for us. His covenant names and unshakable promises line every verse.
The Lord is my Shepherd… GOD’s Name: Jehovah Rohi – The Lord My Shepherd
My promise to you is to be your Shepherd: to guide you, protect you, shelter you, and feed you. I not only want to feed you physically, but I want to feed your heart today, too! Let me lead you down the path of life I have for you. My greatest desire is for you to know me so that I may guide you to the vastness of all I have for you.
I have all I need… GOD’s Name: Jehovah Jireh – The Lord My Provider
My promise to you is to be your Provider. My provision will not always come in the ways you expect.

GOD’s Name: Jehovah Rapha – The Lord My Healer

I know what will FREE you to become a LIGHT in this world that shines for me. It may feel at times like I’ve left you for it can be painful as I sweep away the debris from your wounded heart.

My heart aches when you shut me out. My arms are always open and ready to receive you.
You prepare a feast for me in the presence of my enemies. You honor me by annointing my head with oil…
GOD’s Name: Jehovah Nissi – The Lord My Banner of Victory
