Walking in the Name
Walking in the Name
“For all the people walk each in the name of its god, but we will walk in the name of the Lord our God forever and ever.” Micah 4:5
God’s Name is not intended to simply affect your brain; his Name should also affect your feet. When you walk in the Name, you walk in the continual manifestation of his Presence.
Micah 4:5 identifies the single factor that distinguishes your walk—your walk is either determined by the name of the world’s gods, or by the Name of the one true God.
Those who walk according to their gods, walk in fear, insecurity, shame, and superstition. They often walk carelessly, randomly, without purpose or direction.
Those who walk in the Name, walk with confidence, authority, and strength. They walk in humility and in the fear of the Lord. They know their identity because they know his Name.
If you have been walking in step with gods, today is your invitation to repent. The Name calls you to break step with the name of little gods and join the ranks of those who walk according to the Name.
T.S. Elliot said, “to a generation running away from reality, anyone walking toward it will seem like a deserter.”
When you walk in the Name, don’t think twice about who is against you; when you walk in his Name God will continually manifest himself to you. Count on it.
Loving Father, stamp your Name on my feet so that I may walk in your Name.
