Psalm 9:10

There's just so much in this verse isn't there? Those who know Your name will put their trust in You - those who know who You are, who know Your character, who know Your personality - those who know, who know by experience the depth and length and breadth of You will put their trust in You. And that won't be difficult because they will be in awe of You, amazed that the One who is beyond goodness, full of love and mercy and compassion, the One who never changes, who always keeps His promises and who will never ever turn away those who seek after Him - that One will not be difficult to trust but will be like a magnet drawing those who know Him closer, ever closer to the warmth and safety of His arms.

Those who know Your name will put their trust in you. Those who know You O Lord, will rest their whole being, all that they are and all that they have on You. Those who know Your name, O Lord, will stand on Your Word, on Your promises, will build on the foundation of Your grace and Your love - will walk by Your light and hold on to Your hand in the darkness. Those who know Your name O Lord will not be afraid but will know deep within that You will never leave nor forsake them for You are the God who sees, who knows and who will never, ever stop caring. Those who know Your name O Lord will long to be by Your side, will long to see Your face, will seek first Your kingdom and Your righteousness knowing that You are the great and mighty I AM, the Creator and Sustainer of all things and the giver of all blessing . O Lord, those who know Your name will dwell securely, will draw deeply from the wells of Your water of Life and know the great, overwhelming joy of knowing Your name.

Thank You Lord that I know Your name - You are Jesus, my Lord and Saviour, my Redeemer and my Friend.
