God’s Names Explain His Character

God’s Names Explain His Character
Psalm 92:1-2 “It is a good thing to give thanks unto the LORD, and to sing praises unto thy name, O most High: To shew forth thy loving kindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness every night,”
            The first phrase of verse one is translated from the Hebrew words towb yada Jehovah (2895, 3034, 3068) which means it is good to extend one’s hands to the self existent, independent eternal God who is.  It also says that it is good to celebrate Elyown (5945) the high lofty supreme God instrumental music (zamar 2167) set to words.  It is interesting that the emphasis here is on instrumental music accompanied by words.  This is completely the opposite of the modern paradigm of praise musicing.  It is also important to note that psalm song is to be sung to the honor of God by singing His names mentioned here as  Jehovah Elyown. 
            On the authority of God’s inspires word, it is a good thing to bring honor to God by recognizing and singing and playing his name.  So, why not spend some time today honoring God by singing the names ,and the meaning of His names.  Why?  The reason is that you will receive  spiritual strength from musicing God’s names with understanding.
