What's in a name? Names identify, explain, and serve to distinguish one from another. What do God's names reveal to us about Him, coming from Him?

Genesis 17:1 NASB
Now when Abram was ninety-nine years old,
the Lord appeared to Abram and said to him,
“I am God Almighty; Walk before Me, and be blameless.”
Abram had the confidence that he could help God fulfill His promise. And every day for 13 years, he faced the constant reminder of his recklessness. For though Abram loved his son by the maid, Hagar, the consequences were separation and discord.
The Almighty can begin when we end! When the schemes of the flesh prove so utterly disastrous, that we finally understand…
God alone must do what only God CAN do.
