I will share about Christian books I have read or listened to.
I will be sharing about my life before and after Christ. I will include stories about my pet and other pets I have encountered.
The Name of the Lord
Have you ever thought about the meaning of your name? The meaning of a name is more important in some cultures than others. In Scripture, the meaning of a name can tell you a lot about a specific person or the character of that person.
Similarly, the name of the Lord is not just a common name. The Lord’s name is meant to carry the identity, character, and actions of God. That is why Scripture tells us to call upon the name of the Lord as a means of help and comfort.
God’s name tells us who He is. He is God, the Creator and Ruler of everything on the earth. He is the one who is above everything else in all the earth. That means He is more powerful and more wise than anyone else too.
God’s name also tells us about His character. We learn in Scripture that God is faithful, merciful, loving, and strong—His presence is a place of protection for those who follow Him.
The name of the Lord is a fortified tower; the righteous run to it and are safe.
Proverbs 18:10 NIV
God’s name also tells us about His actions. He rescues and saves His children. He fights for the weak and He provides for the needy.
All of these good traits are wrapped up in the name of the Lord. When we call upon His name, we are trusting and believing that God is who He says He is.
What other attributes of God’s character come to mind when you think about Him? Take a moment to thank Him for who He is and all that He has done for you.
Working Through The Impossible
Throughout the pages of Scripture, God is known for doing extraordinary things. Light in the darkness, hope for the broken, and bringing help when it seems there is none. No matter what, God can transform seemingly impossible circumstances for His glory and our good.
In Luke chapter one, Mary’s lack of a husband and Elizabeth’s old age didn’t stop God from bringing Jesus and John the Baptist into the world. And today, nothing—whether it’s your past, an ongoing struggle, or a lack of resources—can stop the work that God is doing in and through you.
So, the next time you see an impossible situation in your life, remember that God is a God who works in and through those moments. He wants to talk with you about the things that feel impossible!
