How should we pray? (Part 3)
4 – The Creator has, in highly esteem, His precious name:
• Exo 20:7 -> “You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain, for the LORD will not hold him guiltless who takes his name in vain.”.
• Isa 48:9 -> “For my name's sake I defer my anger; for the sake of my praise I restrain it for you, that I may not cut you off.”.
• Eze 20:9 -> “But I acted for the sake of my name, that it should not be profaned in the sight of the nations among whom they lived, in whose sight I made myself known to them in bringing them out of the land of Egypt.”.
• Eze 20:14 -> “But I acted for the sake of my name, that it should not be profaned in the sight of the nations, in whose sight I had brought them out.”.
• Eze 20:22 -> “But I withheld my hand and acted for the sake of my name, that it should not be profaned in the sight of the nations, in whose sight I had brought them out.”.
• Eze 20:44 -> “And you shall know that I am the LORD, when I deal with you for my name's sake, not according to your evil ways, nor according to your corrupt deeds, O house of Israel, declares the Lord GOD.”.
• Eze 36:21 -> “But I had concern for my holy name, which the house of Israel had profaned among the nations to which they came.”.
Hence Jesus said:
• Mat 6:9 -> “Therefore pray in this way: Our Father, who is in Heaven, *Hallowed be Your name*.”.
So, will what we are asking hallow His name or desecrate it? Will what we are asking make people use His name for holy or profane purposes?
Tomorrow we will keep on. Have a good day in Christ Jesus.
