Names, Titles, and Descriptions of God

One of the things that Dr. Tackett mentions in tour #4 is his personal study of the names of God. This is a great way to learn more about God, His character, and His nature. This posting will be rather simple and short. I want to list for you just a small handful of names, titles, and descriptions for God. This is from a list Henry Blackby has in Experiencing God.

I would encourage you to look over the list and pray. If one of the names or titles captures your heart or attention, then study more about that aspect of God in Scripture.

Creator of heaven and earth
defender of widows
father to the fatherless
God Almighty
God my Maker
God my Rock
God my Savior
God of all comfort
God of grace
God of hope
God of truth
God who avenges me
Holy One
I am
Jealous
Lord (Adonai)
Lord my Banner
Lord who heals you
my advocate
my refuge in times of trouble
the consuming fire
the gardener
the Glory of Israel
the God who saves me
the one who sustains me
the potter
the true God
