Hallowed be Thy Name
Let the prophet who has a dream tell his dream, but let the one who has
my word speak it faithfully. For what has straw to do with grain?” declares the
LORD…Yes,” declares the LORD, “I am against the prophets who wag
their own tongues and yet declare, ‘The LORD
declares.’ Jeremiah 23:28 & 31
Speak My word faithfully. God works
through His powerful Word. Corruption of his Word leads to confused teaching; hence,
the responsibility of godly teachers is great. The Contrast between straw and
wheat between the less useful straw and the precious, life-giving Word of God
is what nourishes faith.[1]
God’s
name is profaned, that is, dishonored, when anyone teaches contrary to God’s
Word. We keep God’s name holy when God’s word is taught among us in its truth
and purity. [2]
Lord Christ, our eternal Redeemer, grant us
such fellowship in your sufferings, that filled with your Holy Spirit, we may
subdue the flesh to the spirit, and the spirit to you, and at the last attain
to the glory of your resurrection; who live and reign with the Father and the
Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.[3]
