Elohim is the first name of God to appear in the Bible. It shows up in the very first sentence of the Bible. Genesis 1:1 "In the beginning, Elohim created the heavens and the earth."
When we speak the name of Elohim, we are reminding ourselves that He created it all. I love to cherish this word deep in my heart to bring peace -- remembering God's creative power and His sovereignty over everything.
What problem could I have that He cannot solve?
When life overwhelms me. When I feel inadequate to solve whatever mess I have seen to have gotten myself into, I close my eyes and just whisper quietly in my soul, Elohim.
Elohim (You created it all)
Elohim (You are amazing and powerful)
Elohim (Your creativity and knowledge and intelligence in creating one single flower is multiplied by infinity because You created everything)!!!
When we whisper Elohim, when we acknowledge He is the creator, sovereign over all -- we are worshipping our Lord.
The names of God are prayers and worship.
