A Good Name
Proverbs 21:1
A good name is rather to be chosen then great riches, and loving favor rather then silver and gold.
What's in a name - Shakespear said a rose by any other name would smell just a sweet - when we have children - we often try to come up with a good name for them -
today I want to tell you about an even better name - it's the name GOD has given us HIS children - and the name HE gave HIS SON is the greatest name of them all!
In biblical times - the names given often was a reflection of the childs personality -
another thing I heard about names is this - some cultures don't name their children until they reach a certain age so they can be sure that the child will live -
this is sad but true - many areas of the world have many children who die from disease and maulntition - pray for them - back to the devo - Today's verse talks about a name being better then great riches - this is the truth - When God calls your name and you respond - He gets praise - and you get to know Him - He knows your name -
and your name if you know Him will be written in the Lamb's book of life -
one day GOD will call your name and you will go home - much can be said about our names - often we have no idea what their meaning is - but in a funny twist - often our names stick to us - and we begin to fullfill what our name means - I know my name means God is my Judge - that means only HE can judge me - or anyone else for that matter - let's remember that GOD has given us a name - and that name is who we are -
First and foremost we are His children - second we are the children of our parents -
we have identy in Christ and in this world - but knowing Christ and walking with HIM Is most important - so past by worldly riches and still with a good name!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Word to the wise: Remember GOD knows your name!
BECAUSE OF CHRIST we have a good name, Christian!
