Worship Devotional - "I Will Tell Your Name"

Key Scripture: "Oh give thanks to the Lord! Call upon His name; make known His deeds among the peoples!" - Psalm 105:1

Reflection

In Hebrew culture, there was no simple word for "thank you" as we understand it today. Instead, when expressing gratitude, they would say "I will tell your name publicly." This wasn't just polite acknowledgment - it was a declaration of the giver's character and worth to everyone around them.

This transforms our understanding of thanksgiving. True biblical thanksgiving isn't just saying "thanks" to God; it's telling others about who He is and what He has done. It's witnessing. It's making His deeds known among the people. When we thank God, we're actually magnifying His name before a watching world.
