Your Name
Quote - 'No longer shall your name be called Abram, but your name shall be Abraham; for i have made you a father of many nations.' - Genesis 17:5
God changed Abram's name to Abraham ('father of a multitude'), years before he was a father.
Abraham was past 80 at this stage, his wife also past child-bearing.
He accepted the name.
He accepted a reality about himself that could not yet be seen.
He accepted a reality about himself that seemed impossible.
Faith accepts the name before reality comes.
What do you name yourself today?
What is the name God has given you that describes your seemingly impossible future?
!Accept it!
