May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. Romans 15:13
A few years back I taught a Bible study from "Experiencing God" by Henry Blackaby and Claude King. In Appendix A on pg. 220, he records the following Names, Titles, and Descriptions of God: "a faithful God who does no wrong, a forgiving God, a fortress of salvation, a glorious crown, a jealous and avenging God, a Master in heaven, a refuge for his people, a refuge for the needy in his distress, a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge for the poor, a sanctuary, a shade from the heat, a shelter from the storm, a source of strength, a stronghold in times of trouble, an ever present help in trouble, architect and builder, builder of everything, commander of the Lord's army, Creator of heaven and earth, defender of widows, eternal King, Father, Father of compassion, Father of our spirits, Father of the heavenly lights, father to the fatherless, God, God Almighty (El Sabaoth), God Almighty (El Shaddai), God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, God Most High, God my Maker, God my Rock, God my Savior, God my stronghold, God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; God of all comfort, God of all mankind, God of glory, God of gods, God of grace, God of hope, God of love and peace, God of retribution, God of the living, God of the spirits of all mankind, God of truth, God our Father, God our strength, God over all the kingdoms of the earth, God the Father, God who avenges me, God who gives endurance and encouragement, God who relents from sending calamity, great and awesome God, great and powerful God, great, mighty and awesome God, ..." and 100+ other names of God.
Today, pick one, any one, and savor it all day long.
Proverbs 18:10 The name of the LORD is a strong tower;the righteous man runs into it and is safe.
