Okay friend, admittedly I haven't read the entire chapter from today yet, but I did read enough to know, I want a new name too! Let me better explain myself for a minute; Abram got a new name today and Im wanting some of that too!
“Your name will no longer be Abram; your name will be Abraham, for I will make you the father of many nations.”
Genesis 17:5 CSB
The Lord has been rocking my world these last few days, well actually these last several years, but these last few days have my jaw on the floor. As I read this very familiar exchange between Abram and the Lord I couldn't help but want a new name myself. I thought, "Hey God, I want a new name!" In my mind this is a marked moment between them. Its representative of what God has done, and continues to do through Abraham's life. Well get this...as I continued to reflect on this all weekend the Lord reminded me I already have a new name.
Loved
Holy
Accepted
Worthy
Forgiven
Cherished
Daughter
Royalty...and so on.
My goal here has been and continues to be to simply empower, encourage and equip you to get in the Word yourself. Nothing uniquely sets me apart to understand the Word anymore than anyone else, especially more than anyone else. I have no special degree to do so. I am a follower of Christ and I have the Holy Spirit. AND because of the gift of the Holy Spirit we can read and interpret the Word. Praise the Lord. Don't simply read what Im writing, get in the Word and get your own revelation. I double dog dare you! I promise you won't regret it.
