Almighty God

The Almighty said there was only one God. We needed a name. The Almighty could not be contained in a name, nor would any name suffice. For a long time, the Name was so holy, feared and revered that it could not be spoken. No name could do justice. As man does, a name can become a symbol or an idol and quite possibly a replacement for the real thing. Yet man needed to have a name, just as we required an earthly king.  

Moses broke the ice and got up enough courage to ask the un askable....What is Your name? Moses was told, I AM that I AM.....I AM who I AM....I IS what I IS. Was that a "never mind"? or was that a clue. 

So man proceeded to try to find a name for the un-nameable.

The name list is big. It contains so many adjectives, nouns, pronouns, verbs....all are used to try to capture the essence of God. As I ponder my personal name of God, I realize its not a name, its an all powerful feeling. My name for God within can not be spoken, for not one name is worthy....YET I lovingly, respectfully, joyfully and faithfully honor and speak all these names. 

I am told that there is no other name by which I am saved, and that name is Jesus. I read that Jesus is God. I would suggest that it is not the name that saves, but the Almighty. Jesus, the Christ made it possible for me to experience the living God, here today, yesterday and tomorrow. I guess I am a bit like Thomas and just needed to see the the holes in his hands; holes through which I can experience the creator and God within.
