FOLLOW JESUS 365: YEAR OF FAITH IN ACTION
FEBRUARY 7
✨ THEME
Every Name Matters to God – God knows your name and the name of every person society overlooks
📜 KEY SCRIPTURE
Isaiah 43:1 (NIV)
“But now, this is what the Lord says – he who created you, Jacob, he who formed you, Israel: ‘Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine.’”
💬 ELLEN G WHITE QUOTATION
“God knows every human being by name. He knows the very hairs of their heads, and nothing that concerns any one of His creatures is unnoticed by Him. Those whom the world counts as insignificant are precious in His sight. He sees the lonely, the forgotten, the overlooked – and He calls each one by name.”
– The Ministry of Healing, p. 463
