These daily studies are generally divided into those occurrences found in the Old Testament and those found in the New Testament. Within that divide, related names are sometimes grouped together, and at other times the names are treated in alphabetical order. In a few instances, a single passage of Scripture may include multiple names, epithets and/or descriptions of God, and these are treated together in sequence. It would be impossible to be absolutely consistent apart from a pure alphabetical order or in order of first mention in the Bible, but those approaches seemed overly arbitrary. Occasionally these meditations have drawn from outside sources. Where that happens, we have given appropriate citations. At times abbreviations helped us with space management. For example, TWOT stands for the "Theological Word Book of the Old Testament" by R.L. Harris, G. L. Archer Jr., B. K. Waltke (Eds), (Chicago: Moody Press). The usual abbreviations of English versions are used, for example, NASB (which is the default version used in these meditations), NIV, ESV, etc. Most readers should be familiar with these. Also, another convention adopted for the sake of space is referring to the Old Testament and the New Testament as "OT" and the "NT" respectively.
