What Is In A Name?
By Mark Flippo
In the Old Testament, great meaning was placed upon a baby's name! It was a glimpse into their future! Inheritances depended on their name and where they were born in the line of children. The chart above helps you understand why they were named how they were! That does not seem to be the practice of naming babies in these times. It is a shame because we may not be giving a child the best gifts to work with.
Before you have named your child, do you ask Jesus what is the name He prefers? I just wonder if things would be different in some families if that child learned that their name was given by God? What do you think? Let us make time to consider God's choices that He wants from us in everything. Especially our children!
