Several years ago, I was given a calligraphy print of the names of God. I had it matted and framed and it hangs in my office. These names were revealed by God throughout Scripture to help us understand His character. While we may not use each name daily, we come to understand the significance of each one and the appropriate name as the Spirit prompts us when we pray.
