Scripture: Ezekiel (NIV) 39:7 I will make known my holy name among my people Israel. I will no longer let my holy name be profaned, and the nations will know that I the LORD am the Holy One in Israel.

Observation: In the book of Ezekiel, over 60 times one finds the phrase “they will know that I am the LORD.” It is clear that God wants to be known for who He really is.

Application: If God wants to be known as LORD, then I should make it my priority to make Him known as LORD in my life. Of course that starts with me being convinced that He is LORD and then living my life like He is LORD. If He is LORD, then what He wants is more important to me than what I want. If He is LORD, then what He wants me to do is more important to me than what I want to do. He can use my life to demonstrate that He is LORD to those around me.

Prayer:   LORD, I want you to truly be LORD in my life, and not just in words. May those who hear me call you LORD have no doubt that you are LORD in my life. Amen
