Running with Jesus
Luke 11:2 a "And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name."
Jesus began to teach His disciples how to pray and he started with "hallowed" be thy name. Hallowed means to separate from profane things. To the Jews when they say a name it is more to them than to us. They interpret a person’s being and character. Jesus was saying pray recognizing God is separate from the profane things on this earth! Just to humble ourselves and show humble respect to the God of the universe! Total purity! Totally supreme! Just think we can talk to Him only by the blood of His Son Jesus. To the Jew God's name was unmentionable, God is so Holy. Under the blood we can say Father. Romans 8:15 says we can cry Abba Father, which means Daddy! We can be intimate with Him and cry out Daddy, hallowed is Your name.
When we pray we should pray humbly and show God respect due Him! Run to Him and cry out merciful, holy, sweet precious Daddy! Show Him He is supreme authority and the next step will flow naturally.
Oh Daddy, how separate You are from us. How Holy You are we come humbly seeking Your face with our whole heart today! We acknowledge we are needy and we desire to know You! Like Moses when he asked Your name He really wanted to know about You when You called his name! We too are asking who are You that You would want us to talk to You!
Spend time thinking about all the names you know God by today! I am already wowed!
Tomorrow: Thy will be done! Keep going runners God is getting better and better! Love running with Jesus takes us right to the Father!
