I'm curious, do you guys have any favorite biblical names? I personally have fallen in love with the name "Elijah". It's translated to "The Lord is my God" or "My God is the God of the bible" and as many of you might know he's a very well-known and bold prophet.
I just really like the message of his story, it's about standing for God in a world that doesn't stand for God and Elijah made a decision that he's going to stand for God no matter what happens. His story portrays the power of prayer and how you're able to revive through the holy spirit. People were worshipping an "idol" and he was the one who told them to stop, he basically led them to the right path of Jesus. He went through many hardships and sorrows in life and learned how to overcome them by obeying to God's words. He was persecuted by those who did not believe in Him. Elijah was a defender and I admire him for his boldness and persistence, he just knew both the power of God and the depths of depression.
"As was true for Elijah, when we focus on the noise and the tumult of life in this world, we can get our eyes off of the LORD. However, if we listen for His still, small voice and walk in obedience to His Word, we find victory and reward. "
I'm thinking way ahead of time , but I plan on naming my son after Elijah. That name just speaks to me on a deeper level..
So yeah, I'd like to hear about some of your favorite names!
