If you are from a small town, a small school or work for a small company, you are known by name. On the flip side, large cities, large schools, large companies know you by a number. I have experienced both and as I age, it is comforting and welcoming to be called by name.
Praise God, He knows our name. “For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;” Psalm 139:13-14a
I can come to God, humbly bowing in His presence, worshipping my God and Savior, confessing my sin, asking for forgiveness, giving praise and thanks for His Son, Jesus. God reveals Himself to us through His word. Praise the Lord we can know Him, too. So, as I sit and meditate on His words, I am allowing them to dwell within me, filling me with wisdom, love, peace, and knowledge. Pursuing God is a day by day decision, a commitment to wanting to know Him more, that I may be intentional in my seeking to be in His presence each morning in the quiet study of His word.
I pray, that as you wonder, “Am I a name or a number,” you would listen to the Voice calling you by name. Say yes to the One who created you, for He desires a relationship with you and wants you to call him, Lord, Savior.
Romans 10:10 “For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by openly declaring your faith that you are saved.”
