Page 7 - A Name You Can Trust

Introduction

As I have traveled all across America, I visit with people
who have various needs in life. Quite frankly, when someone
shares a need with me, I find myself quickly responding
with..."No sweat, God can handle it!" In truth - I have
absolutely no problem trusting God... in someone else's life.
My problem is when I have a need and I must trust God to
come through when I'm at my point of desperation. Ever
been there? I'm sure you have.
One day, as I was reading Psalm 9:10 - like a bolt of
lightning - I said, "That's it! That's the reason why so many
of God's people (including myself) have so much trouble in
really trusting God is because they really don't know Who
this God really is." The Bible says in this verse, "And they
that know thy name shall put their trust in thee: for thou,
LORD, hast not forsaken them that seek thee."
As I began to research the names of God...I began to see
the ways that He has revealed Himself, not just as God, but
by names that are very personal and practical for His
children to experience victory in everyday living as they trust
in Him. So what's in a name? When it relates to God...
everything!
It is my prayer that this book will introduce you to the
nature and character of our God in heaven who loves us with
an everlasting love. I believe that you will discover that He is
not just God in heaven, but a very compassionate and caring
heavenly Father who desires to meet every need that you
will ever have if you will learn about the God in whom you
trust. Believe me...it will make life a lot easier when you
know the One who sits on the throne and controls the whole
world ...including your world as well.
