"Know therefore that the Lord your God is God; He is the faithful God, keeping His covenant of love to a thousand generations of those who love Him and keep His commandments." -Deuteronomy 7:9 (NIV)
Names of things can help us identify them, but, as Shakespeare wrote, "A rose by any other name would smell as sweet." We could call a rose something different, but it would still be a beautiful, sweet-smelling flower! To know something, we need to know more than just a name!
We can know God's name, but to truly know God, we need to know His power, beauty, and grace. By reading His Word, praying to Him, and learning more about Him, we can know that God isn't just a name. We can know that God is faithful and keeps His promises. We can know that God has existed in the past and will exist into the future...for eternity! Once we truly know God, we will know that He is so much more than just a name!
God isn't just a name...God is God!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for being faithful and present in my life. Help me to know You and to trust You in all areas of my life. Through Jesus I pray, amen.
