Get the appNames of God: Through Thanksgiving & ChristmasSample
Isaiah advises the rulers of Jerusalem but is careful to let them know that the knowledge is not his own, but that it comes from God. He is the One who provides all knowledge and wisdom through His Word. The knowledge of God is the most valuable education that we can gain. If we rely solely on the wisdom of this world, we will be in direct opposition to God’s Word since He tells us in the Bible that wisdom of this world is foolishness to God.
Whose counsel do you seek first when faced with an issue? Do you rely on the Bible as your source of instruction and guidance?
Father God, You are My Instructor, My Teacher, and My Guide. Instruct me, Lord, on Your promises so that I can digest them in my heart and mind as my source of replenishment when I am facing a drought in this cold empty world. Teach me, Lord, to see Your face in the faces of those I love as well as in the faces of my enemies so that I may learn to show them both the same measure of overflowing love, grace, and mercy that You have shown me. Guide me, Lord, when fear and doubt cloud my path and when grief overwhelms me so that I may continue walking forward without misstep as You capture every tear and hold my hand every step of the way. And if I perish, I perish… for it is then that I will spend a joyous glorious eternity with the unconditional lover of my soul. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

About this Plan
What’s in a name? The many beautiful names of God reveal something about who he is and why he functions the way he does. Names of God – specifically written to help us focus on our Lord during the Thanksgiving and Christmas seasons – walks us through the study of six of the names God has given himself. Time is spent looking at the truths these names reveal about God, and how this knowledge should practically impact our everyday decisions, emotions, and relationships. “For what higher, more exalted, and more compelling goal can there be than to know God?” ~ J.I. Packer. Come join us as we get to know God more fully and spend time adoring him for who he is. God shows himself to us through his names because of his great love for us. We, in turn, have the privilege of loving, worshipping and resting in Him on an even deeper level during this reflective time of year. Journal with us as we go through this study for the next six weeks…reading and writing what God speaks into our hearts.
