Your Name

To "hallow" God's name means to honor him as holy, both with our lips and with our lives. Dozens of verbs could flesh out this definition: glorify, bless, adore, exalt, revere, esteem, praise, fear, worship, etc. The more we recognize how singularly holy God is, the more amazed we are that we are able to come near him in Christ.  We can't make ourselves feel God's holiness, but we can cultivate the conditions that grow it. God grows bigger in our hearts when we pay more attention to smaller things, including: being careful with how we use his name(s), devoting ourselves to public and private worship, and being careful with how we treat people who are made in his image.
