He Knows Your Name
God’s Unchangeable Character
Have you ever felt insignificant, even if just for a little while?
Perhaps:
– your boss denied your request for a raise
– a disobedient child defied your authority in front of your in-laws
– your great idea was shot down at an employee meeting
Friends, it will be okay.
We don’t know when or how exactly, but it will turn out as God planned, and in His timing.
You Are Not Alone
Thankfully, we don’t walk through this journey alone.
We have a Father who cares about us very, very much.
With the love of the Father in mind, I wanted to look back this week at an uplifting song that I remember singing back in the mid-1990’s.
An oldie, but goodie, right?
It’s a choir song. I love it because, for me, it represents the beautiful realization that God is not an absentee father.
Right now, He is with you and me.
The song is called “He Knows My Name.”
Here is one of the several beautiful versions you can find on YouTube.
Enjoy!
Sing To Him
Why not sing to Him?
If you sing horribly, you can wait until you’re alone.
I’m kidding!
*11 Be glad in the Lord and rejoice, you righteous ones; And shout for joy, all you who are upright in heart. – Psalm 32:11, New American Standard Bible (NASB).
Psalm 32 is a Psalm of David. He writes joyfully, as one who knows that the Lord will forgive his confessing heart.
In His Sight
God is not sitting up in Heaven somewhere, only handling global events.
You and I are in His sights every day.
There’s only one mediator between God and us, and He is Jesus Christ.
No one else has that divine authority.
Communion With God
How can we respond to the love and character of God exhibited through His Son, Jesus Christ?
Do we just squeeze in a few fly-by minutes with Him each day, or do we take some actual time to read the Scriptures and pray?
By praying, I mean praying to Him in Jesus’ Name with our expressions of love and gratitude.
We can always remember that the One who created us is always with us.
God will forgive our contrite hearts as well.
Now that’s something to sing about!
