Hallowed Be Thy Name

Claude Houde

In the Scriptures, God reveals his nature to us through his names. In Genesis, God reveals himself as Elohim, the transcendent Creator worthy to receive worship. In Isaiah, He reveals himself as Emmanuel: God with us—showing his great love for us by stooping down and meeting us. Our needs and brokenness aren’t hidden from him. He wants to create beautiful things out of the dead areas of our life. When we see that nothing can be hidden from him, a faith in his goodness and fear of his holiness is produced, leading to a shout of praise!
