Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment. – 1 Timothy 6:17
Some things you can do today with God’s name
There is so much in this name! Take some time to meditate on each of the main words or phrases in this name and thank Him for everything He shows you:
- God—what does it mean to you that He is God?
- Richly provides—He doesn’t just give us a little bit (although sometimes it may feel like it.) How have you seen God provide for you? Think about how God has richly provided for you. Thank Him.
- Everything—how much is that?
- For our enjoyment—think about what He has provided for your enjoyment.
- This verse says “to put our hope” in this God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment. Where is your hope today? If you’re struggling to trust the Lord, talk to Him about that. It’s ok, go ahead. He knows how you’re feeling anyway. Ask Him to help you find hope in Him today.
You might want to write this name on a card or post-it and put it somewhere that you’ll be reminded what a great God we have.
