“The angel of the Lord . . .said, ‘The Lord is with you, O valiant warrior‘ “–v 12
There are surprises ahead for people who know God. Many. Follow God and you will certainly make these discoveries for yourself.
Discovery 1–He knows me. Knows who I am. My family. My history. My situation.
Discovery 2–He loves me. Largest mystery of all. See # 1.
Discovery 3–He has a new name for me. Knows me by my true name, my God-given identity.
Remember Simon? Jesus meets him and says, “You are Simon the son of John, you shall be called Peter (rock)”–John 1:42.
Remember the Revelation promise? “I will give him a white stone, a new name written on it.”–Revelation 2:17.
This week we read the story of Gideon. Surprise! The angel doesn’t call him Gideon. He calls him “Valiant warrior” v 13.
Wow! I wonder what God’s name for me is. I wonder what His name for you is.
