And it's interesting to know that the one true God has names in the Hebrew language that describe him and help us to know him better. So, here's Part 2 in our 4 part Names of God series.
A blogging friend in the first post in this series asked if I remembered the song, El Shaddai. I do and I loved to sing and play that song on the piano. In fact, it's one of my 13-year-old nephew's favorite songs.
I pray that today, these 4 names will speak to your heart in a special way and help you to better know the God who loves you and gave his life so you might live.

I like the big print. You can't miss it!!
What about the name "Jehovah" (I may not have spelled it right."
I have a young boy, a Jehovah's Witness in my class at school. He insists on calling God Jehovah...and not "God". (I work at a public school, so I'm limited in my ability to talk to my students about God/Jesus)
El Shaddai is my favorite. There is a song with that in it but I can't remember what the rest of the words are.
I was touched by your comment at forensics and faith and came by to say you have given me peace in my personal storm, reminded me of God's unalterable love. He is not surprised though we may not understand. I need to know that again and again. Thank you for your comment.
I've been studying the names of God as well. Here is a post I recently wrote http://wp.me/pFHm8-1u I just love the personal nature of His very being!
Greg C- El Shaddai, El Shaddai, El Elyonna Adonai, age to age you're still the same, by the power of your name. Repeat... :) (pardon any spelling mistakes)
