Wearing
God’s Name
by Alexis A. Goring
“They will see his face,
and his name will be on their foreheads.”
~Revelation 22:4 (NIV)
This
devotional was inspired by God, a beautiful song called “Wear Your Name” and
K-LOVE.
K-LOVE
is my favorite Christian radio station. It’s based in California and is
available online so that music lovers around the world can tune in and hear
Christian Contemporary songs.
I
love this radio station so much that I decided I wanted everyone around me to
know about it. Therefore, I ordered one of their window stickers and plastered
it to my car with hope that their wonderful ministry would impact everyone who
saw their name on my car. My desire is that when people see my window sticker, they
will connect with K-LOVE online and as they use K-LOVE’s endless resources then
they too would be changed for the better.
So how do we wear God’s Name and “wear it
well”? The Bible answers this question in Micah 6:8 (NIV) which says, “He has shown you, O mortal,
what is good. And what does the LORD require of you? To act justly and to love
mercy and to walk humbly with your God.” When you live for Jesus and
live out His command in Micah 6:8, you are indeed wearing God’s Name and
wearing it well!
If you’d like a musical illustration of how to
wear God’s name well, listen to this song “Wear Your Name” by Gylchris Sprauve. Watch
In this song, he
sings about the urgency and necessity to represent Jesus Christ in these
troubled, modern-day times. This song is a call
to “renounce the world and all its thrills” and have God’s Name placed on you
because you are one of His.
Sprauve emphasizes the importance of standing
for what is right, denying the desires of your flesh, and allowing God’s Holy
Spirit to direct you into being a good reflection of God’s Love to the world. It’s a beautiful song
with a relevant message.
In closing, I’d like to remind you that Earth is not our home.
So let’s live with a Heavenly focus—one where we live for Jesus Christ and
share His Light with a world that so desperately needs to see Him.
