Publisher's summary

character and invites us to know Him in a more intimate and profound way. As we embark on this devotional journey, we will discover the many aspects of God's identity that, throughout biblical history, have been a source of comfort, strength, and revelation for His people. This book, which we have structured into 38 chapters, will guide us through a richer and fuller knowledge of our Heavenly Father, unraveling the meanings and implications of each of his names.
We begin with "Abba," a term of affection and trust that means "Father." This name brings us into the intimacy of a filial relationship, where we can approach God with the same trust that a son has toward his father. In "Adonai," we acknowledge God's sovereignty and lordship, reminding us that He is our master and we are His servants, called to loving and reverent obedience. With "El-Shaddai," the "Almighty God," we immerse ourselves in divine omnipotence, trusting that His power is sufficient to sustain us in all our needs.
"Elohim," the "Creator God," invites us to contemplate the majesty of creation and to worship the One who made the heavens and the earth. "El Elyon," the "Most High God," elevates our perspective to the heavenly throne, reminding us that God is above all things. In "Jehovah-Jireh," we find the "Lord Who Will Provide," a name that assures us that God is our faithful provider in every circumstance.
"Jehovah-Rafa," the "Lord Who Heals," comforts us with the assurance that God is our healer, able to restore our body, mind, and spirit. "Jehovah-Nissi," the "Lord is my Standard," reminds us that God is our standard in battle, the symbol of our victory and protection. "Jehovah-Shalom," the "Lord is Peace," offers us a haven of peace in the midst of life's storms.
"Jehovah-Ra'ah," the "Lord is my Shepherd," leads us in paths of righteousness, assuring us that under His care we will lack nothing. "Jehovah-Tsidkenu," the "Lord is Our Righteousness," gives us assurance that in Christ we are made righteous before God. "Jehovah-Mekaddesh," the "Lord who sanctifies," calls us to a life of holiness, reminding us that we are set apart for His glory.
"Jehovah-Sabaot," the "Lord of Hosts," fills us with confidence in God's protection and defense, knowing that the Lord of heavenly armies is on our side. "Jehovah-Shammah," the "Lord Is There," assures us of God's constant presence in our lives, no matter where we are. "El-Olam," the "Eternal God," comforts us with the eternity of God, whose love and purpose have no end.
"El-Roi," the "God who sees me," fills us with comfort in knowing that God is attentive to every detail of our lives. In "Adonai" and "El-Shaddai," we again explore the greatness and power of God, reaffirming his sovereignty and omnipotence. "Elohim," repeated here, reminds us of the importance of constantly returning to the source of all creation.

"Jehovah-'Uzzi," the "Lord my Strength," gives us the divine power and fortitude to meet any challenge. "El-Rachum," the "Compassionate God," shows us God's mercy and compassion. Finally, "Jehovah-'Ori," the "Lord is my Light," guides us and gives us clarity at every step of our lives.
This book is not just a collection of names, but an invitation to a deeper, more personal relationship with God. Each chapter is an open door to know God more intimately, to experience His love, His power, and His presence in our daily lives. As we move forward in this exploration, may our hearts be filled with wonder and gratitude, recognizing that the God who revealed these names is the same God who walks with us today. May this devotional transform us and bring us closer to Him, the only One worthy of all our praise and worship.
