In this conversation, Rebecca and Jennifer discuss the significance of studying the names of the Lord to know Him better and to deepen our understanding of His character. Psalm 9:10 says, "Those who know your name will trust in you, for you, LORD, have never forsaken those who seek you."  To study the names of the Lord is to know Him better, and the more we learn about the Lord, the more we will understand that He is worthy of all of our praise and trustworthy to meet all of our needs. 

Two names discussed today: 

El Shaddai means God Almighty.

Genesis 17:1-2, "When Abram was ninety-nine years old the LORD appeared to Abram and said to him, 'I am God Almighty; walk before me, and be blameless, that I may make my covenant between me and you, and may multiply you greatly.'" 

"Shaddai is translated as “Almighty” forty-eight times in the Old Testament. In the New Testament, the Greek equivalent is used in 2 Corinthians 6:18 and Revelation 1:8; 4:8; 11:17; 15:3; 16:7 and 14; 19:6 and 15; and 21:22. It is translated “Almighty” except in Revelation 19:6 (“omnipotent”)"(God Almighty (17:1-2) - Warren Wiersbe BE Bible Study Series - Bible Gateway).

El Olam - God of Eternity

Isaiah 40:28, "Have you not known? Have you not heard?  The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He does not faint or grow weary; his understanding is unsearchable."

Takeaways:
We study the names of the Lord to know Him better.
The names of the Lord teach us who He is and about His character.
The more we know about him, the more we will trust him.
