Know His Name

David said this in Psalm 9:10, 11: “And those who know Thy Name will put their trust in Thee; For Thou, O Lord hast not forsaken those who seek Thee.”

It’s so easy in this “hurry up” world to gloss over passages we read in the Bible. However, there’s so much more to learn when we take time to MEDITATE on what God has spoken and man has written, including these two verses. For example, by KNOWING HIS NAME we can begin to know HIM.  And knowing Him leads to being able to trust Him in the situations He directs or permits to enter our lives.

The familiar Isaiah 9:6 provides just a start to knowing what HIS NAME holds for us. Speaking of the Lord Jesus, we read there that “His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace.” Going then to the New Testament, we’re reminded in Acts 4:12 “There is no other Name…whereby we must be saved.” Revelation 19:16 says, “On His robe and on His thigh He has a Name written ‘King of kings’ and ‘Lord of lords.’” If what these three verses say about HIS NAME, it would be enough, enough to be able to trust Him. But, there is so much more to HIS NAME. Dear friends, especially in the times in which we are living, take the time to PRAYERFULLY read, ABSORB and LEARN more about what GOD’S NAME means and how what you learn pertains to your particular situation. I believe you’ll find His strength, wisdom and guidance and that will bring you the “…peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension…” Philippians 4:7
