If some random person came up and asked to borrow my car, I would say no. If a friend asked, I’d probably hand her the keys. (Notice the word probably! I do have a few friends who should probably not be trusted with my keys!)

If a stranger handed me her Christmas list, I’d hand it back to her. If my family members handed me theirs, I’d joyfully provide what I could from the lists.

“Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him;
I will set him on high, because he has known My name” (Psalm 91:14, KJV).

When I read today’s promise, I can’t help but be overcome with gratitude for the personal nature of our amazing God. He longs to have a relationship with us that is close, genuine, and lasting. When there is a bond between people, there are also the benefits of trust, love, and frequent interaction.

As you study the names of God—and I urge you to do that if you haven’t already—you will see His character qualities revealed, thereby deepening your understanding of Who He is. Your love for Him will grow as your knowledge of Him increases!
