Fill up today with Laurie at Woman taking a stand...let us know how He's filled you up with gratitude! Laurie asks will anyone remember my name? What's in a name? The bible says:
Proverbs 22:1
A good name is more desirable than great riches; to be esteemed is better than silver or gold.
A good name is better than fine perfume, and the day of death better than the day of birth.
Proverbs 10:7
The name of the righteous is used in blessings, but the name of the wicked will rot.
The bible also tells us how to have a good name;
Proverbs 3:3-4
3 Let love and faithfulness never leave you;
bind them around your neck,
write them on the tablet of your heart.
4 Then you will win favor and a good name
in the sight of God and man.
Today, I'm so thankful that we have the WORD of the Living God to refer to, for instruction and guidance . I'm so very thankful that He knows my name...that He is ElRoi the God who sees me! I am thankful that it is His Name that holds the power. I am thankful for a deep desire to know Him more. That He promises to fill those who hunger and thirst for Him.
Matt. 16:13 Jesus asked his disciples "Who do people say the Son of Man Is?" and after hearing many different answers, 16:15 "But what about you?" he asked. "Who do you say I am?"
A profound question..I am thankful to ask my self this question daily...Do I believe He is who He says He is? Am I living like it? I'm thankful this question keeps me in check.
