When you meet someone on the street or in a business, there is always a formal introduction. Usually it goes something like, I would like you to meet John Doe or Jane, or Sam, or Bob. In order to identify with someone the first step is knowing their name. It amazes me that God even points out to us that there is power in his name. If we are created in the image of God then we must also realize that we have power in our name. What does our name say about us. In Proverbs 18:10 it says The name of the Lord is a strong tower; the righteous run to it and are safe. Just by calling his name things were brought into existence. There is validation in simply someone calling you by name. When we live the lifestyle of a victim, how often are we called out of our name. It tears away our identity and in return we begin to bounce around in the cycle of victimization because it steals our identity. I have been on this journey and have asked myself a hundred times who am I. I want to know who I am. My name is Faith. I actually have a definition to my name. Hebrews 11:1 Now Faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen. In knowing that, I still really don't know who I am. Why? I feel lost most of the time. Not knowing in which direction to turn. Well, the answer is that I am seeking to know him so first off I want to know his Name.
