The LORD is the “living God,” “the great God,” “the faithful God,” “the God who knows,” and “the Holy God.”
The names of God still fuel my daily prayers and life, both private and public. They also inform my desire to “know God and make him known.” May they similarly serve you in this way.
Each of God’s names represents a dimension of him that is still exhibited today—somewhere, somehow. Clicking on the below scriptures will open these names within the paragraphs they are found in the Bible.
1. Living God Deuteronomy 5:26
2. Great God Deuteronomy 10:17
3. Faithful, reliable God Deuteronomy 32:4
4. The God Who Knows 1 Samuel 2:3
5. Holy God 1 Sam 6:20; cf. Lev 19:1–2
Consider meditating on the above scriptures and allowing God to use them to inform your thoughts, prayers, and decisions for today. Every day or so, for the foreseeable future, I hope to post five more names of God.

“This, then, is how you should pray: ‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.’ For if you forgive men when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins” (Matt 6:9–15).
