His Name
“They that know Thy name will put their trust in Thee: for Thou, Lord, hast not forsaken them that seek Thee” (Psalm 9:10).
Here is an interesting account that was told me recently concerning the manager of a major bank, who described how different names made him react in different ways.
Seeing one name he would say, “I don’t know this person, so I must be very careful.” At the sight of another name he would declare, “I know this individual too well so I must be doubly careful.” But with a third name he would say, “I know this man so well that I could entrust the bank to him if it were mine to give.”
If in the secular world people learn to build trust to that degree, how much more may we have it with our Lord who is always worthy of our confidence and who will never let us down. To know His name is to know HIM, and to know HIM is to trust HIM. We have the Creator of the universe as our confidant. “Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth” (Psalm 124:8).We can trust Him without question. “The name of the Lord is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe” (Proverbs 18:10).
