In ancient Egypt, if a new Pharaoh felt threatened by his predecessor, he had his name and image removed from monuments in an attempt to erase him from history. When Adam first saw Eve, he was so awestruck he instantly gave her a name and proclaimed, "This is bone of my bone and flesh of my flesh.”
To God’s name we attribute order and beauty. He created this for our benefit, pleasure, and joy. It’s little wonder that Isaiah 45:23 quotes God as saying, "Before me every knee will bow, and every tongue confess that in God alone is righteousness and strength."
Scientists sorted out the human genome, revealing our complicated, ingenious, and wonderful story, so how can we help but praise God as Creator? A word that identifies God as creator of everything is Elohim, so consider for a moment that you are created in his image. Does that thought make you want to love him with all you are?

All nations you have made will come and bow down before
you, Lord, and will honor your name. For you are great and perform wonders. You
alone are God.
~Psalm 86:9-10 Holman Christian Standard Bible
