Seven Names of God in Hebrew: Discovering His Characterნიმუში

Do you know your God-given purpose?

If you want to discover your God-given purpose, all you need to do is remember one of my favorite names of God, The One God, which in Hebrew is El Echad (אל אחד, pronounced "el ek-kawd"). This name declares God's unity and singularity while revealing our purpose: to love God and love others. This name appears in the Shema, Israel's fundamental confession of faith, teaching us that serving a unified God leads to a unified purpose in our lives.

The beauty of El Echad is how it simplifies our often complicated lives. When we understand God's oneness, we understand that all legitimate purposes flow from one source - love for God expressed through love for others. This brings clarity to our decisions and direction to our lives.

Evaluate your activities and commitments through this lens: How do they enable you to love God and others better? Use this filter to prioritize your time and energy, choosing one specific way today to express love for God by serving others.

Prayer:
El Echad, unite my heart to fear Your name. Help me express Your love in tangible ways today.
