It is such a weird name with an even weirder pronunciation. What is so special about this name?
Horeb is the name of a mountain. Not just any mountain but the "mountain of GOD" (Exodus 3:1). In fact, God described the ground on Horeb as "holy ground" (Exodus 3:5). It is also where Moses received the Ten Commandments from God (Deuteronomy 5:1-22) and where the great prophet Elijah spoke to God (1 Kings 19:9). The name Horeb itself is believed to mean Glowing/Heat, which seems to be a reference to the sun.
Therefore, the name Horeb represents a place of comfort and enlightenment. It is a sacred place that someone can go to when they feel lost, alone, confused, afraid, unloved, unappreciated, and helpless.
That is the purpose of this blog: To be there when you need it. To laugh with you when you are laughing and cry with you when you are crying.
