Many times a special meaning was attached to the name. Names had, among other purposes, an explanatory purpose (e.g., Nabal, whose name means &#8220;fool,&#8221; is the target of Abigail&#8217;s explanation to David: &#8220;For as his name is, so is he; Nabal is his name, and folly is with him:&#8221; &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.blueletterbible.org\/Bible.cfm?b=1Sa&amp;c=25&amp;v=15#s=261015\">1Sa 25:25<\/a>). Throughout Scripture God reveals Himself to us through His names. When we study these names that He reveals to us in the Bible, we will better understand who God really is. The meanings behind God&#8217;s names reveal the central personality and nature of the One who bears them.<\/h6>\n<h6><strong>Who is God to you?<\/strong><\/h6>\n<h6>Is He your Most High God, All sufficient One, Master, Lord of Peace, the Lord Who Will Provide? Is He your Father? We must be careful not to make God into an &#8220;it&#8221; or a &#8220;thing&#8221; to which we pray. He is our Jehovah Raah, the Lord our Shepherd.

To hallow the name of God is to regard Him with complete devotion and loving admiration.
