THE LORD’S PRAYER PT 2

...hallowed be your name, Matthew 6:9

Yesterday, we saw God as a child sees her daddy. But with the words ‘Hallowed be Thy name’ we’re ushered into the throne room where we’re awed and silenced by His majesty and power. At some point in your walk with God, He’ll teach you intimacy - and reverence! It happened to Moses: ‘Take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy ground’ (Exodus 3:5). The word for such moments is reverence. The phrase is ‘Hallowed be thy name’. As we read further we discover that no time is spent convincing Moses what Moses can do, but much time is spent explaining to Moses what God can do. We’d have done the opposite. We’d have explained to Moses how he was ideally suited to return to Egypt. After all, who better understood the culture of the palace? Then we’d remind him how perfect he was for wilderness travel. Who knows the desert better than a shepherd? Then we’d spend time reviewing his résumé and strengths. But God doesn’t. The strength of Moses is never considered. Not one word is spoken to recruit Moses, but many words are used to reveal God. Why? Because the strength of Moses is not the issue; the strength of God is! Let’s repeat that last sentence and let you fill in the blank. Replace the name of Moses with your name. Today, the strength of _________________ is not the issue; the strength of God is! The words ‘Hallowed be Thy name’ take the focus off you, and place it where it should always be - on Him!

Prayer
Heavenly Father, Hallowed By Thy Name! May I always remember it is never about me being able to do something but rather what you are able to do through me and others! In Jesus’ Name, Amen
