Podcast 26: "It's All in the Name!"
Welcome to this week’s “In the Little things” podcast. We often overlook very important things just because we are not aware o there importance. As we meet people and learn their names, we often find out that the name was chosen because it represents a characteristic of the person, or it's chosen because of the importance of a relationship to the parents. Usually a name can remind someone of someone else they endear. But what about the last name? Listen as Annabelle and I share a story about the discovery of particular last names...
Scripture:
(Acts 4:12) “Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other NAME under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved!”
(John 14:6) “Jesus answered,'' I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me!”
(Isaiah 9:6) “For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.”
(Proverbs 18:10) “The NAME of the Lord is a fortified tower; the righteous run to it and are safe!”
Application: Often when we meet someone, we try to remember that persons name. We try to associate that name with an experience. Even in the case of figuring out where they are from or who they may be; based off their name. The application here, would be to pay close attention to the importance of a person's name, so that they can see the intentional love of God in You. A name may seem very little of importance sometimes, but try to use a persons name, whenever you can and see how it really matters to that person and can truly impact a person's spirit.
Devotional Insight: Everyday is an opportunity to get to know someone knew and reach them for the Kingdom. Using their name in the moment of interaction has a huge impact on them, but also applying a person's name in prayer is powerful! Always try to bring a person, by name, to the throne of God and you will find that the power of prayer will blow your socks off, years later when you run into that person again and find out their back story! What a privilege that God has given us to be part of their story!!
Challenge: So this week's challenge is to really focus on the actual names of the people you encounter this week. Form a prayer list with their names. Trust God knows exactly what their needs are and know that you have a purpose in investing in those around you that you encounter, meet, or get to share your life with! Ask God to reveal the importance of Who He is in your life, so that in these revelations, He can become known to you in an intimate and personal way! Focus on the names of God this week and He will show you who He really is! “Mighty One, God of Gods, Powerful, Wonderful Counselor, Prince of Peace, Strong One, With Us, Provider, Sovereign, All Knowing, Everywhere, Was, Is, and Is to Come! And so on….”
Guided Prayer: Lord God, Thank you, that You have given us “a name with purpose and value” in Christ Jesus! Let us seek your truth and wisdom to live up to whom we are meant to be in You! Let us pray for those we encounter each day and let us be mindful of our name being in Your Book of Life! Thank you for Your saving grace!It's in Jesus Christ precious name, Amen!
