What's Your Name

Greetings dear sisters-in-Christ,

One of our dear sisters-in-Christ is going to have a baby in a few month's and the topic of names came up at our dinner table last night. This got me to thinking? As names were being presented to the to-be-mom, her opinion of that name mattered alot. There were different factors which had to considered. And as all of us moms know, naming your child is very, very important.

So this is the thinking part --- Our name, which is given to us by our moms and dads, or is it?? God says that our names will be written in the Book of Life,

For me, being weird I know, have gone by my middle name for years. My name Lyndia Sue was on my birth certificate, (Lyndia is pronounced Linda), so is my name Lyndia or is it Sue. And of course, for us mothers, it's mom or mommy, and for us grandmothers, its gamma, or grandma, or nana, so what is my name?

I was looking at some of bible verses today which referenced name.

Psalm 33:21 (KJV) Our heart shall rejoice in him, becasue we have trusted in his Holy Name.

Proverbs 22:1 (KJ) A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches, and loving favor rather than silver and gold.

Revelvation 20:16 (KJV) And he haath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.

Let us this day come together and worship the Name above all names, Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior.

Heaven Father, our most High and and Sovereign God, who loves us, Praise and Glory and Honor and Power, thank you Lord that You have named us, thank you that our names are written in the Book of Life, thank you that You know us and call us by name and that we know your voice. Most Holy God, I pray for each dear sister-in-Christ this day and in the days ahead that she would hear You calling her name, may she desire to be called and known by You. Oh Lord as she goes about her waking hours direct her ways, order her time, provide for her needs and may she rest in Your Name. When she sleeps may it be a restful and deep, undisturbed sleep in which she is refreshed and restored by You. In Jesus Name. Amen

Until next week,

Your dear friend and sister-in-Christ

LyndiaSue
