YOUR NAME

Today's reading: 1 Chronicles 5-9

"Afterward Ephraim slept with his wife, and she became pregnant and gave birth to a son. Ephraim named him Beriah (which means tragedy or misfortune) because of the tragedy his family had suffered." 1 Chronicles 7:23 NLT

Oh, friend, be careful--be very careful, of the name you give yourself.

Maybe you were a prodigal.

Maybe you were like the woman at the well who had several husbands.

Maybe you were an enemy of God.

Maybe you were brought low, broken and bitter.

But what are you now? What new place has God brought you to? What new name has He given you?

We're no longer referred to in past tense. God no longer sees who we were.

Our surname is no longer sinner, but grace!
