Fame

The Twelfth Day of Christmas

I praise your name for your love and loyalty. You are famous, and doing what you promised will make you even more famous! ~ Psalm 138:2 (ERV)

Our Father in heaven, may your name be kept holy.~ Matthew 6:9 (NLT)

Heavenly Father, your name is your identity. It is who you are. And there isn't anyone like you. You are totally unique and above all other beings and all things. You are famous. I realize that my own attraction to you is sometimes a desire to share in your fame. I sometimes use you to promote me. Forgive me for my mixed up thinking and behavior. Help me to get past myself. I'm going to live today in a way that I'm only promoting you. Amen.
