Topic: Knowing His Name
“These commandments that I give you today are to be upon your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.”Deuteronomy 6:6-7
Joni and Friends Daily Devotional 12 May 2022 MESSAGE
“My husband and I have only been, uh…you know, Christians a short time. But we’ve been reading the…the Bible more and learning about, uh, the Lord.” As I listened on the phone, I could tell that God was taking this woman, who had gone to church all her life, to a new spiritual dimension.
She’s uncomfortable using spiritual terms right now, but all that will change as she talks more about her Savior at home and when she goes throughout her day, when she gets up in the morning and when she retires at night. Talking about Jesus…makes it easier to talk about Him!
In fact, I’m looking forward to the time when she will be able to confidently say the name of her Lord. For, “Those who know your name will trust in you, for you, Lord, have never forsaken those who seek you” (Psalm 9:10). Until then, I’m praying that she will make a new habit of talking about the Lord Jesus freely and openly during the course of her day. It’s the best way to feel at home with His name.
Some Christians have an awkward time bringing up the subject of Christ during dinner table conversations or while driving in the car. We reserve discussion about spiritual things for church or Bible study, often failing to bring Him into our everyday moments. But remember, talking about Jesus…does make it easier to talk about Him!
Joni and Friends Daily Devotional 12 May 2022 PRAYER:
Make me more bold, Lord Jesus, to speak openly about You. For this will not only glorify Your name but will encourage other Christians who may be more timid than I. I love the name of Jesus!
