Those who know
your name will trust in you
Those
who know your name will trust in you, for you, LORD, have never forsaken those
who seek you. (Psalm
Though the
beginning of this verse sounds very simple, the meaning of the verse in
totality is very profound. What’s so difficult in knowing the name of God? In
the Old Testament, ‘Jehovah’ was the name that was revered by the people of
God, the Israelites; and coming to the New testament we see the emphasis on
‘Jesus’. It’s not knowing the name that the Psalmist is talking of here, but
what faith & trust in that name can bring about.
In Acts
Chapter 3, when a 40 year old lame man is healed by the power of God, the
people are astonished and create a commotion, but Peter tells them, “By faith in the name of
Jesus, this man whom you see and know was made strong. It is Jesus' name and
the faith that comes through him that has given this complete healing to him,
as you can all see.” (Acts
Open the Word
of God and read through and you will see great miracles happening for them who
trusted in the Lord. When we hope against hope, trusting in the one and only
name (Jesus) that can do wonders for us, we are justly rewarded.
Look back upon
your own life and you will see that there have been many many occasions where
you trusted in the Lord and you witnessed a miracle. So do not despair, the
Lord is nigh. And your miracle is nigh too.
