We each have a name. What is the value in that name? When someone thinks of you, what qualities come to mind? As we live our lives, our words and actions become an image of who we are. That image is often summarized in our name.
As followers of God, our names can mean even more. Our names can not only be reflections of us as people, but also reflections of our God and our commitment to Him. When we proclaim God as our Lord, others may begin to judge God by our words and actions. To maintain our good name and allow others to see how God is active in our lives, we need to call on God for strength and guidance in our lives. Through His name, our names can be used for His glory and honor!
Have a good name by focusing on God's name and allowing others to see Him through you!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for being active in my life. Help me to align my words and actions with Your will so I can be a representative of Your glory and power. Through Jesus I pray, amen.
