Thus says the LORD: “Let not the wise man boast in his wisdom, let not the mighty man boast in his might, let not the rich man boast in his riches, but let him who boasts boast in this, that he understands and knows Me, that I am the LORD who practices steadfast love, justice, and righteousness in the earth. For in these things I delight, declares the LORD.” Jeremiah 9:23-24 ESV1
Some things about God are just unknowable for us as humans. We don’t have the vocabulary to explain them. We don’t even have the brainpower to understand them.
But some things about God are knowable for us. It is God’s desire for us to understand and know Him, so He has given us His Word, and He shows up in our circumstances. We can come to know God on a deeper level by studying the Names by which He identifies Himself in Scripture. God’s Name reveals His character and demonstrates His ways. “The Name of the LORD is a strong tower; the righteous man runs into it and is safe” (Proverbs 18:10). “Those who know [God’s] Name will put their trust in [God]” (Psalm 9:10). David praised God saying, “You have exalted above all things Your Name and Your Word” (Psalm 138:2). So, let’s take some time to search God’s Word for His Names.
